Notes to the Editor:
Black Earth Farming Ltd. is a leading farming and land owning company operating
in Russia. 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 and Ryazan areas, controlling 280,000 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 approximately 52,000 hectares of crops,
of which the greater part was wheat.
Founded in 2005 by Michel Orlov, the company has been developed by the listed
investment companies Vostok Nafta Investment Ltd. and Investment AB Kinnevik
(publ).
