KTG Agrar SE's food operations make buoyant start to 2016 - Seite 2

Siegfried Hofreiter comments: "While 'organic' is not automatically
synonymous with 'regional', consumers increasingly expect to be able to
identify the origin of organically produced food when buying their daily
groceries. Our »from field to plate« strategy offers these consumers an
added bonus."

»From field to plate« is also the motto for KTG Agrar's conventionally
grown products. In recent years the company has made inroads into an
exciting new segment - KTG now supplies frozen food and muesli products to
restaurants and commercial kitchens. To further establish its position as a
supplier in this segment, KTG will for the first time exhibit at INTERNORGA
in Hamburg (1116 March).

Extended value chain supports stable margins
KTG's ability to process its produce at its own food production plants
provides a buffer against price volatility in agricultural commodities.
While potatoes, carrots, onions and non-GMO soybeans are processed into
tasty frozen food products, grain provides the basis for healthy muesli and
granola varieties. Considerable capital expenditure has gone into building
this business model but these investments are now paying off handsomely in
the current environment characterised by low commodities prices, helping to
keep the company's margins at a healthy level on a sustained basis.
