    ETG’s forty-year track record in the African agricultural market has beenpivotal in stimulating the continent’s economy by supporting small-scale

    farmers in their endeavours and assisting them in reaching ready markets

    internationally. We aspire to nurturing and uplifting farmers at grass-roots

    level as well as improving the quality of life of all of Africa’s inhabitants.

     

    We empower small-scale farmers by instilling good farming practices to

    enhance crop productivity and quality, while facilitating access to

    agricultural equipment and provisions. ETG procures at farm-gate level,

    passing on the benefits of market-related prices by sorting, processing,

    storing and then exporting the commodities.

     

    ETG continually invests in infrastructural improvements in Africa.

    We create employment in the countries in which we are active and open

    up market opportunities in regions previously inaccessible to small-scale

    farmers.

     

    Mindful of Africa’s nutritional challenges, ETG has initiated a project to

    decrease dependence upon starch by substituting soya crops – a valuable

    source of protein, demonstrating our constant and overriding desire tofacilitate and improve quality of life. We wish to make a real difference in

     Africa – in the lives of her farmers, her economies and her peoples. To this

    end, ETG is dedicated and committed.

    INTRODUCING

    ETG

    1

    With offices in 40 countries and a staff complement of over 6 500, ETG has thelargest integrated agricultural supply chain in the regions within which it operates.

    Due to ETG's longstanding track record in Africa and other emerging markets,

    the Group is ideally placed to provide small growers with the best market prices

    for their goods, and at the same time offer them the most affordable inputs and

    farming advice.

    Export Trading Group (ETG) focuses on the

    production, processing and distribution of agricultural

    commodities, farm inputs and farm implements.

     The Group al so has i nvestment s in info rmation

    technology, bio-energy, mining, hospitality, forestry,

    transport and logistics.

    ETG operates in Australia, Argentina, Kenya, Uganda,

     Tanzania, Ethiop ia, Sudan, Malawi, Mo zambique,

    Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Dubai, United

    States of America, India, Benin, Botswana, Burkina

    Faso, Myanmar, Burundi, China, Ghana, Guinea

    Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, Niger,

    Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore,

    Switzerland, Togo, United Kingdom, Vietnam and

    the Democratic Republic of Congo. In most of these

    countries, ETG has developed an extensive network

    of farm collection points for commodity procurement,

    warehouses, silos and processing plants.

    ETG focuses on both the procurement and movement

    of agricultural goods as well as the supply of

    agricultural inputs and best farming practice support.

    Most of the commodities purchased comprise of 

    unprocessed or semi-processed agricultural

    products. These are cleaned, graded and packaged

    by ETG prior to distribution in local and international

    markets. Ten per cent of the Group’s agri-

    commodities are processed into supermarket-

    ready products. ETG currently procures in Maize,

    Wheat, Soya Beans, Rice,Sorghum, Millet, Beans,

    Pigeon Peas, Cow Peas, Chick Peas, Green Gram,

    Groundnuts, raw Cashew Nuts, Sesame Seed, Niger

    Seed, Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seed, Linseed, Ginger,

    Cloves, Sugar, Coffee, Fertiliser and Tea. Maize

    constitutes the largest commodity by volume.

    By investing in processing plants, the Group not only

    provides jobs for local communities, but also adds

    value to the commodities procured. This means,

    furthermore, that ETG stimulates foreign revenue

    inflows into countries where the Group is present and

    active.

    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

    The Group’s executives and managers arecommitted to the principles of integrity,responsibility and accountability to theirkey partners - the small growers and thegovernments that represent the small growers

    15

    Corporate Governance is an integral part of the sustainable success of ETG.

    The Group’s executives and managers are committed to the principles of

    integrity, responsibility and accountability in all their business dealings.

    Their key objective is to protect the interests of stakeholders, management

    and the communities in which ETG operates.

    Social andEnvironmental Impact Management 

    ETG is committed to:

    1. Leading the industry in minimising the impact of

    its activities on the environment,

    2. Accepting responsibility for any harmful effects

    that its operations may have on both the

    local and global environment and is constantly

    committed to reducing them, and

    3. Measuring its environmental impact (footprint),

    setting targets for ongoing improvement.

     

     To achieve this, the fol lowing key poi nts have been str ategised:

     

    • Minimising waste by evaluating operations and ensuring that

    they are as efficient as possible.

    • Sourcing power requirements responsibly and minimising

    toxic emissions through the correct fleet selection and use.

    • Promoting recycling actively, both internally and amongst

      customers and suppliers.

    • Sourcing and promoting a product range to minimise the

      environmental impact of both production and distributi on.

    • Meeting or exceeding all environmental legislation pertinent to

      the ETG.

    • Implementing an accredited programme to offset greenhouse

    gas emissions generated by our activities.

    Human Resources Management

     A detailed polic y for Human Resources was formulated t hat

    complies with both host country legal requirements and ETG

    standards. The policy, which is periodically reviewed and updated,

    is available to all ETG employees to consult at any time.

    Each employee enters into a written contract, when they join

    the Company, detailing the responsibilities and expectations

    of both parties. ETG remuneration levels exceed minimum wage

    requirements in the countries in which the Group operates and the

    general employment conditions are consistently above host country

    standards.

    Occupational Health and Safety

     A policy for Oc cupational Healt h and Safety was f ormulated

    that fully complies with international standards and host country

    occupational health and safety requirements. All employees receive

    the requisite training and are made fully aware of occupational

    health and safety requirements in their various roles.

     The policy is p rominently displaye d in all buildings and annual audits

    are conducted to ensure that plants, warehouses and farms fully

    comply with these requirements.

    Pollution Prevention

    ETG is dedicated to pollution prevention. The Company has

    developed a pesticide management plan that has been

    incorporated in its warehouses, processing plants and farming

    manuals. Proper training is also provided to employees in the

    handling, storage and disposal of pesticides.

    SUPPORTING ANDEMPOWERING FARMERS

    ETG has observed the following agricultural commonalities among these countries:

    •  Farming is undertaken mainly by small-scale farmers, with large commercial farms a rarity. Most farmers farm small areas

    of land, averaging between one to two acres. The cultivation area is limited by the use of basic tools and implements such

    as the hand hoe. Few farmers have the necessary finances to improve crop yields by buying certified seed and fertiliser or

    to access agricultural machinery.

    •  At harvest, the farmer reserves 75% of the crop for personal consumption, while the subsistence surplus (25%) is

    available for sale in the market. The cash obtained from the sale of the su rplus crop provides the farmer with income to

    pay for essentials such as children’s education, doctor’s bills, etc.  

    Export Trading Group is focused on creating growth for Africa by enhancing the potential of its

    agricultural sector.

    The agricultural sector in sub-Saharan Africa provides a livelihood for at least 75% of the population, making it

    an important focus area for the achievement of growth. Over the past 40 years, ETG has taken time to intimately

    understand how the agricultural sector functions in each of the following countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania,

    Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.

    CHALLENGES BEING MET 

    Under the traditional, low-cost low-yield way of

    farming, the following elements are present:

    •  Farmers are often located in largely inaccessible

    rural areas, making it expensive for buyers to engage

    directly with them: Under these circumstances, should

    farmers find a market for their commodity, at all, the price

    obtained will be heavily discounted.

    •  Farmers often do not have the upfront cash

    requirements to transport commodities for sale to

    a central market: The surplus produced by one single

    farmer is insufficient to fill a truck and pay for its costs.

    •  Farmers do not have sufficient storage capacity to

    store a commodity for sale at a later date.

    •  Farmers have little say in the supply chain which

    is largely controlled by middlemen: Each level of

    intermediation results in less transparency, a lack of

    market, high transaction costs, and, u ltimately, lost value

    for the farmer.

    •  Farmers are adversely affected by poor quality

    controls: This co ntribu tes to po st-harv est los ses and

    lower prices for their produce.

    •  Farmers lack access to finance for agricultural inputs: 

    Without fertilisers, high-yielding seeds, and equipment,

    it’s impossible for farmers to increase income and

    improve their livelihood.

    66

    12/29

    8 19

    For over 40 years, ETG has been solving and addressing

    the constraints faced by farmers, in the following way:

    •   Allevia ting th e need fo r a farmer to trav el long

    distances to find a market for their commodity.

    ETG has achieved this by bringing the market directly

    to the farmer at farm-gate level. With a network of 500

    warehouses spread out across Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania,

    Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia, located in both

    rural and main agricultural-producing areas, a ready market

    is provided for the small-scale farmers’ surplus agricultural

    production. This type of procurement enables the farmer to

    bypass the middlemen and achieve the maximum price for

    their commodity.

      In 2009, ETG procured about one million metric tonnes of

    agricultural commodity in the region. This commodity was

    traded regionally and internationally.

    •  Providing service centres for farmers at ETG’s

    procurement warehouses. 

    ETG provides farmers with education on crop cultivation

    and husbandry as well as appropriate post-harvest

    handling (cleaning, drying, sorting and grading).

     This en ables t hem to bet ter respon d to the market

    requirements in terms of quality, quantity and

    standardisation.

    •  Providing essential inputs such as storage, fertilisers

    and equipment at affordable prices. 

    ETG is implementing a scheme to provide inputs on credit

    to farmers in order to enable them to farm without the

    burden of up-front cash requirements at the start of the

    planting season. Such a scheme will be supported by ETG

    guaranteeing a minimum off-take price for all commodity

    produced, including crop insurance, so that a farmer

      is aware of his minimum cash flow when taking the loan.

     

    ETG is committed to assisting small-scale farmersovercome traditional infrastructural challenges togo beyond subsistence farming and become highlyactive participants in the African economy.INNOVATIVE SUPPORT

    13/29

    In addition to improving the standard of living of local

    farmers and their families, ETG is committed to playing a

    significant part in the economic development of the regions

    in which it operates, and contributing to the improvement of

    the quality of life of the communities in those regions.

    0 21

    Through its processing facilities, ETG offers jobs to

    members of local communities, imparting skills and

    knowledge, and establishing infrastructures on which

    communities can further build their own economic

    growth.

    On a broader scale, ETG works closely with rural

    communities, community leaders, and local and national

    governments to explore and implement ways in which

    the benefits of international trade, and the resulting

    increased financial inflows, can be passed on to the

    people of the region.

    Where ETG owns farming operations, it not only employs

    people from the surrounding communities, but also

    works closely with those communities to find ways of

    uplifting their people. These initiatives include everything

    from making grazing land available to stock farmers,

    improving roads, offering practical training to farmers

    and students from the area, and developing sporting

    facilities with a view to building a sense of community

    pride and unity.

    ETG also involves itself directly with the communities of

    the various regions by offering financial and food support

    to people in need. At various times, the organisation has

    sought ways to improve the life of the many orphans

    in the regions through the donation of chocolates and

    biscuits.

    COMMITTED TO COMMUNITIES

    The business also offers financial assistance during times of community need by making

    donations of money or supplies to communities affected by floods, droughts or other

    disasters. Where possible, ETG also donates money for the building or upgrading of

    much needed schools and clinics, thereby enhancing the quality of life of the people and

    ensuring that they enjoy futures that offer better opportunities for employment.

    Farmers working with ETG enjoy a guaranteedmarket for their produce, access to good quality services, consistent and fair market pricescoupled with instant payments.

    Going forward, ETG will continue to deepen its procurement network,providing a more extensive range of value-added services to farmers.This commitment to ensure the sustainability and profitability of farmingundertakings will contribute to the growth of the African continent.

    OVERVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN AFRICA 

    4 25

    While the long term success of ETG has primarily been the result of its manyyears of proven expertise in the agricultural trade and export industry, the

    Group also boasts significant farming and warehousing assets, a trusted and

    reliable transport and port handling infrastructure, and extensive processing

    and beneficiation facilities.

    Trade and Export

    More than 80% of commodities procured by ETG are

    bought directly from farmers, who are paid cash-on-

    delivery at local field warehouses. These are located

    within reach of the farmers in each country from which

    ETG sources commodities. The remaining portion of

    ETG’s agricultural commodities is sourced from other

    smaller traders and commercial or semi-commercial

    farms.

    Once procured, the commodities are transported to the

    small buying centres, where they are graded,

    processed and standardised before being transferred

    to the larger ETG warehouses. From here,

    approximately 90% of the produce is repackaged and

    distributed locally or exported internationally, while the

    remaining 10% is processed further at ETG’s various

    processing plants.

    ETG also trades in fertilisers and pesticides. About

    half of the fertiliser traded by the Group is imported

    to satisfy tender programme. Fertilisers imported by

    ETG for its own account are distributed for resale to

    farmers in the various ETG operational areas.

    ETG’s physical trading unit has its headquarters in Dar es Salaam.

     The Group ha s a deri vative hed ging and corporat e finance u nit in

    Johannesburg, South Africa, which hedges group commodity exposures

    on the South African Futures Exchange as well as the Chicago Board of

     Trade, Kansas Board of Trade and the Lo ndon Future s Exchang e. Risk

    management, the reporting of group exposure to commodities, foreign

    exchange, freight, country and interest rate risk, are undertaken from the

    Group’s Johannesburg office.

    PROCESSING AND BENEFICIATION

    ETG’s key focus on supply chain management has seen the Group develop extensive procurement,

    storage and logistics networks in each country within which it operates. This is a key strategic and

    competitive differentiator for ETG.

    In 2002, the Group su bstantially increased investment in agricultural processing. Currently, ETG has 21 processing centres in

    Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, India and Mozambique. The agro-processing plants add value to commodities

    sourced in each country, creating jobs for the local communities and earning valuable foreign currency for the countries in

    which the Group operates.

    FARMING AND ASSET ACQUISITION

    6 27

    In 2006, the Group embarked on a strategic initiative to backward integrate through the acquisition of large-scale commercial

    farms and farmland. To date, it has acquired farming assets i n Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

    LOGISTICSThe ETG logistics operations unit is based in Dar es Salaam. An outstanding logistics network,

    incorporating a fleet of trucks, ensures that the Group has the necessary capacity to transport

    commodities procured or imported across Africa. By managing its own logistics, the Group can ensure

    that savings in logistical costs are transferred to the farmer. Importation costs of much needed farming

    inputs are also substantially reduced.

     

    Whilst ETG has its own fleet of commercial trucks, more than 90% of the commodities are transported by commercial

    transporters contracted to the Group in 2007. To reduce congestion in the port of Dar es Salaam the Group entered into a

     joint v enture w ith the Sharaf Gro up from th e UAE, as well as the Nati onal D evelopmen t Corpora tion of Tanzania, to d evelop

    two inland container depots to handle containerised cargo.

    WAREHOUSINGETG currently has a storage capacity of 1.69 million tonnes covering ten countries. The Group is

    differentiated from other companies by its ability to procure commodities at farm-gate level and store

    produce for extensive periods of time thereby providing markets to local communities throughout

    the year.

    While the majority of the Group’s warehousing capacity is in Mozambique, Tanzania and Malawi, ETG’s philosophy of ensuring it has the

    necessary infrastructure in place to support its business operations means that the Group has warehouse capacity in every country within

    which it operates. Warehouses in Senegal, Burundi, South Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger and Rwanda with an estimated capacity of

    21 000 megatons, are planned.

    Pulses

    Pulses are grown abundantly in various parts of Africa, making them one of the region’s major export commodities. ETG owns a number of

    processing plants that serve to complete the pulses supply and value chain. Procurement takes place at farm gate level, after which the raw

    commodity is processed, packaged and branded. The final product is exported primarily to Europe and Asia. Various pulses are processed,

    traded, and exported, including Pigeon Peas, yellow and Green Gram, mung dal and sugar beans. The Group exports over 150 000 tonnes

    of pulses from Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania.

    Pigeon Peas | ETG procures Pigeon Peas, at farm-gate level, from farmers in Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya. After

    procurement, the raw commodity is cleaned and prepared for export to consumers in Europe and Asia. Along with the export of raw Pigeon

    Peas, the Group has pigeon pea processing plants in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, where the raw commodity is processed, packed

    and branded. This final product is then shipped to various international destinations. ETG exports over one hundred thousand metric tons of

    Pigeon Peas per annum.

    Beans | Beans represent a major source of dietary protein and micronutrients for rural poor people. ETG procures a variety of beans,

    including sugar beans, white pea beans, khaki beans, butter beans, and others, throughout the region from Ethiopia to South Africa. The

    raw beans are cleaned and bagged at ETG’s various processing facilities before being stored to meet local and regional demand or exported

    internationally. The Group trades approximately thirty thousand metric tons of beans every year.

    ETG has a strong procurement unit that, in conjunction with its vast storage infrastructure across East,

    West and Southern Africa, makes the Group one of the largest p hysical agricultural procurers in Africa.

    Commodities procured include:

    Cereals

    Consumption habits within the Eastern, Central and Southern African region make cereals a significant staple food, with Rice one of the

    most popular food sources around the coastal regions and maize inland. ETG has developed its business around these consumption habits,

    effectively meeting the consumption requirements of the various communities.

    Maize |  As the most consume d cereal in the sub- Saharan region, maize suffers from a high d emand to supply rat io, primarily as a result of

    inconsistent weather patterns, poor farming techniques and political instability. White maize is the preferred choice of much of the population

    in this region, while yellow maize is predominantly used as animal feed.

    ETG procures white maize directly from the rural farmer (or smallholder), via its collection centres located throughout the region. The product

    is cleaned, graded and packaged before being supplied to communities via ETG’s established logistics network. The business model is

    designed to ensure that the supply chain addresses the needs of areas where a shortage of maize exists via a constant supply from areas

    with surplus production. ETG procures over half a million metric tonnes of white maize from the countries within which it operates, in the

    proportions indicated below.

    Wheat |  The shortage of Wheat in the regi on makes it nece ssary to import the commodity f rom destinations l ike North and South America,

    the Black Sea and Australia. The Group’s approach combines such an import programme with domestic procurement from local farmers as

    well as production on ETG-owned farms in Zambia.

    Rice | Since Rice is not readily produced on the African continent, most of the supply to the regions is via imports from Asia. ETGendeavours to meet the varying needs and budgets of its consumers by supplying different qualities of Rice as required. The Group imports

    almost 150 000 tonnes of Rice for distribution to its Eastern, Southern and Central African markets. Rice is also grown on the Group’s 8 000

    hectare farm in Tanzania.

    GROUP PHILOSOPHY

    ETG endeavours to invest in businesses that uplift its

    core activities, while creating economies of scale to

    support its small grower base over the long term.

     The Group i s commit ted to ameliora ting all its

    activities, in each country, by means of ongoing

    investment in its staff, infrastructure and processing.

     This als o contr ibutes t o the su stainabi lity of the

    farming activities in those regions and to the strength

    of the entire supply chain.

     Through th e Group's he ad office network in each

    country within which it operates, the Group has

    the ability to gauge the needs of the small growers

    it supports. Warehouse and processing facility

    managers are in constant contact with s mall growers,

    gaining an on the ground understanding of the

    demands and challenges faced by them.

     The Group b elieves in invest ing in hum an capita l to

    grow its business. Special attention is therefore paid

    to recruiting the most appropriate and qualified staff,

    and offering comprehensive, ongoing training at every

    employee level from top level management to factory

    and field workers.

    STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

    FUTURE

    FOCUS

     As the ETG business model continuesto provide highly attractive returnsto investors and business partners,the organisation has a philosophyof building on its achievements andprudently expanding its operationsfor the benefit of all stakeholders.

    2 43

    Providing Bigger Marketsfor Existing Small Growers

     The Group’s immediate priority is to achieve the full potenti al of itsexisting core businesses and grow volumes in these products to

    realise the full benefits of increased scale. In addition, by

    streamlining our logistical capacity we believe we will be able to

    offer small growers better prices for their produce and thereby

    stimulate production.

    New Products and Regions

    While the Group recognises the need to penetrate new products

    and regions as a sustainable growth strategy, the choice of 

    products and markets will be determined strictly in keeping with its

    identified core competency of adding value throughout the supply

    chain. The Group has already identified potential investments in

    products and regions that will significantly contribute to its expan-

    sion strategy and these will be investigated further, and pursued

    in the coming months and years.

     Adding Value v ia Vertical Int egration

    With a philosophy of enhancing value and always servicing the

    customer with top quality products, ETG will continue to add to

    its processing network. Investment in processing not only creates

    much needed jobs, but also increases foreign revenue inflows for

    the local governments in the respective countries in which the

    Group operates.

     Ongoing Strengthening ofLeadership and Management

     The success of E TG, to date, ca n largely be att ributed to the

    strength and vision of the Company’s leadership and the quality

    of its management at every level. To ensure the continued and

    sustainable growth of the Company, particular focus will be paid to

    deepening the management talent pool by training, mentoring and

    coaching employees who demonstrate management potential, while

    continuing to attract the most talented individuals to fill positions of

    management and leadership across the Group.

    ETG’s development model is driven by the organisation’s commitment to providing a comprehensive, end-to-end

    supply chain solution between the farm-gate in producer countries and the supermarket shelves of countries to

    which we export commodities.

    Since inception, business growth has been the result of the Group’s commitment to the communities and small

    scale farmers for whom it provides markets.

    Going forward, however, ETG has recognised that continued, sustainable growth will result from a focus on the

    following four key strategic imperatives:

    ETG is confident that this growth strategy, combined with the

    organisation’s established small grower support base, will offer

    significant opportunities for sustainable growth and see an overall

    uplifting of the agricultural markets within which the Group operates.

    In addition, the Group’s commitment to investing in infrastructure such

    as warehousing, silos, logistics and transportation, port and barge

    facilities, plus container terminals, ensures that ETG has the resources

    and capacity to continue delivering its exceptional range of value-

    adding services, while steadily expanding operations and enhancing

    long term sustainable markets for the small growers that have helped

    build the Company to where it is today.

    THE FUTURE OF AGRI-COMMODITIES

    4 45

    Ensuring the world’s growing population has enough to eat is the

    challenge facing politicians in both the developing and developed

    worlds, and the need to address that problem will ensure that

    commodities will be one of the most important asset classes of the

    next decade.

    More than a cycle

     The large share of agriculture in Afri ca’s GDP suggests that

    agriculture is key for overall economic growth – growing agriculture

    will consequently grow economies across the whole continent.

    Small farmers in Africa will be playing a pivotal role in feeding the

    world over the next decade or two.

     The cost of produc ing food in First World countries is e xtremely

    high and land is scarce. On the other hand, sub–Saharan Africa

    has enormous natural, physical and human potential, using less

    than 25% of the arable land and less than 14% of the irrigation

    potential. Agricultural commodity prices have fallen following the

    global economic downturn, and memories of food riots in 2007/08

    in a range of countries from Mexico to Morocco, are fading. But

    underlying secular changes to global supply and demand have

    made the future course of world food prices highly uncertain. It is

    likely that prices will not resume the long term downward trend in

    real terms that prevailed from 1975 to 2005.

    Globally, the demand for food is rising 3.3% per annum, whilst the

    supply of land increases by 1% per annum. With agricultural land

    in developed countries shrinking, as urbanisation expands, food

    production will be seen to be the critical resource which Africa can

    supply to the world. However, the ability of Africa to supply the

    world’s food requirements can only occur if interventions are made

    at numerous levels – from the provision of finance, to infrastructure

    development, to effective market linkages. For example, Africa’s use

    of fertiliser is only 2% of the world average and, as a result, cereal

    yields in sub-Saharan Africa are only 1.3t/ha compared to 3.5t/ha

    in Europe and 5.5t/ha in North America. Raising yields requires a

    combination of education through extension services, access to

    appropriate and timely inputs as well as access to finance to

    purchase inputs.

    Demand outstripping supply 

    Population growth is the key determinant of demand for food

    grains. In August 2009, the Department for the Environment, Food

    and Rural Affairs (Defra), launched a review of the UK’s food

    security in which it stated that the world population is expected to

    reach 9 billion by 2050, requiring a 70% rise in food production to

    prevent widespread hunger. Consumption patterns, too, are

    changing. As real incomes rise, particularly from very low levels of

    per capita income, so does daily calorie intake. Moreover, the

    proportion consumed as protein, particularly meat, increases. This

    has a leveraged effect, because meat production requires

    proportionally more grains. For example, seven kilogrammes of

    feedstock grains are needed to produce one kilogramme of beef.

     As globa l deman d for agri cultural produce

    increases, the small grower in the emerging

    market is in the ideal situation to benefit from this

    sustainable demand. ETG is well-positioned to

    assist the small farmer in getting his produce to

    the world in the most cost effective manner.

    The long term trends in agricultural commodities will provide some of the mostexciting production and processing opportunities across all asset classes in the

    next decade. The increase in demand for agricultural produce, both from local

    markets and other emerging markets such as India and China, will allow the Group

    to increase prices offered to small growers in Africa, on an ongoing basis.

  • 8/17/2019 Et g Cp Marketing Digital Fa

    26/29

    The focus of the donor community has

    shifted from food aid and now emphasises

    developing small-scale farmers and

    establishing food security. The stage is

    being set for food production in Africa

    to gain momentum. Africa’s farmers are

    unique in that they generally have access

    to land that is free (communally held) or

    can be used at a relatively low cost. This

    free/low-cost land provides farmers with a

    significantly reduced cost structure.

    CONCLUSION

     Annual growth in global cereal yields falls farshort of the pace required to match the expectedincrease in demand from the combination ofpopulation growth, dietary change and increasedbiofuels usage.

    6 47

     These demand trends nee d not lead to hig her agricultural prices if

    supply can keep pace. Growth in supply is the result of a

    combination of acreage expansion and increases in yields.

     According to the Fo od and Agriculture Org anisation (FAO) of the

    United Nations, growth in yields is slowing. Over the past 45 years,

    average annual growth in global cereal yields has been 2% per year,

    but over the past 20 years it has slowed to 1.3%. This falls far short

    of the pace required to match the expected increase in demand

    from the combination of population growth, dietary change and

    increased biofuels usage.

     This puts the onus of increasing supply on acreage expa nsion. But

    according to the FAO, over the last five decades, global cultivated

    acreage has expanded by just less than 15%, primarily through

    growth in South America and Africa. There is scope for additional

    significant acreage expansion in South America, Indonesia and the

    former Soviet Union. But much of this land is remote and will require

    considerable investment in infrastructure that can take years, or

    even decades, to build. Climate change, too, could play its part in

    the supply of suitable land for cultivation. Projected increases in

    temperatures through the impact of global warming are expected

    to have a dramatic impact on agricultural production in areas

    vulnerable to a reduction in water. The overall picture, therefore, is

    one of considerable uncertainty.

    While this combination of factors has led

    some analysts to question whether the

    sector finds itself in a “bubble” scenario, the

    fundamental factors that drive agricultural

    commodities and the improbability of

    finding technological substitutes for the end

    products mean that demand is likely to remain

    constant, and price fluctuations will be in

    reaction to inflationary factors.

    The challenge with regard to Africa’s small-

    scale farmers is more than facilitating the

    ability to sell crops – it is about providing

    access to a complete solution that ensures

    long term sustainability and food security,

    while fostering higher standards of living

    across the continent.
