Company secures sufficient soft wheat supply,
with up to three months of inventory.
Forafric Global PLC (Nasdaq: AFRI, or “Forafric”), a vertically
integrated agribusiness serving Africa, today announced that it
achieved record high crushing volume over the first half of 2022,
with more that 276,000 Metric Tons (MT) of soft wheat processed in
Morocco, its largest market. Furthermore, Forafric has been able to
successfully navigate the international grain markets to secure
enough soft wheat to constantly have between 2.5 and 3 months of
inventory.
When excluding new capacity acquired over the last 12 months,
crushing volume totaled 241,000 MT, still a record for the company.
241,000 MT represents a 9% increase over the same period last year,
27% over 2020, and 38% over pre-COVID 2019.
“Both of these key metrics – record first-half crushing volume
and stable inventory levels – are very positive indicators for
Forafric. Given the instability in international grain markets,
especially as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, Forafric’s
crushing volume and inventory show that our advanced procurement
capabilities allow us to not only withstand, but thrive in, these
chaotic market conditions,” said Saad Bendidi, Chairman of
Forafric. “Forafric raised capital in the public markets to
increase our capacity and footprint in Morocco as well as Africa as
whole. We believe that adding production lines and inventory are
key components of our overall strategy to take Forafric’s business
to the next level.”
