It acquires, owns and cultivates agricultural land assets primarily in the fertile Black Earth region in southwest Russia. Black Earth Farming was among the first foreign financed companies to make substantial investments in Russian agricultural land assets, and because of its early establishment, Black Earth Farming has now gained a strong market position in the Kursk, Tambov, Lipetsk, Samara, Voronezh, Kaluga and Ryazan areas, controlling 260,000 hectares of what perhaps is the world's most fertile soil. Black Earth Farming will continue to acquire farmland in order to draw full benefits of economies of scale in its operations. In 2007, Black Earth Farming harvested more than 50,000 hectares of crops, of which the greater part was wheat. Founded in 2005 by Michel Orloff, the company has been developed by the listed investment companies Vostok Nafta Investment Ltd and Investment AB Kinnevik, which together still are the principal shareholders in the company. __________ This press release is not for distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States (including its territories and dependencies, any State of the United States and the District of Columbia), Canada, Australia or Japan.
