 high quality protein meal for the agricultural market (including the feedstock industry) and is leveraging this by-product to expand into the plant-based meats and proteins markets. Presently, the Cootamundra facility is capable of crushing canola, safflower and sunflower seeds with a current processing capacity of more than 33,000 metric tons per annum. Edible oils and protein meal serve as the largest outlet for oilseed derivative products. The food industry demands healthy oils for cooking and dining. A key example being Canola Oilseed — in which Australia produces over 15-20% of the global Canola seed trade. Australian oilseed production, due to relative proximity and high-quality output, are well-placed to supply the rapidly expanding consumer export markets of the Asia-Pacific as well as satisfy increased domestic demands.

The Company enters into standard sales contracts with customers for the purchase of these products, which detail the duration and amount of the product to be delivered during the course of the contract, compliance with applicable government regulations and tax payment obligations.

The Company intends to address the increased global demand for sustainable premium cold-pressed and non-GMO products by expanding its existing cold-pressing capacity from 33,000 metric tons to 65,0000 metric tons initially per annum through its new multi-seed crushing plant at Emerald, Queensland with a projected cold-pressing capacity of 80,000 metric tons per annum allowing the Company to market itself as the largest cold-pressed player in the APAC region.

The Company’s Manufacturing Process

The Company’s cold pressing oil plant is currently the largest in Australia and has seed processing capacity of up to 40,000 metric tons per annum. “Cold pressing” refers to oils obtained through pressing and grinding oilseeds without the use of chemicals or solvents at temperatures that do not exceed 122°F (50°C) and produces high energy canola meal used in stock feed by most species of animals worldwide. As a result of cold pressing, oil and meal retain most of their nutritional values, antioxidants and healthy omega fatty acids (including omega 3 and omega 6) and, including Polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid) that lower serum cholesterol and .contain zinc and vitamins like vitamin A, C, E, D lecithin, potassium, bioflavonoids and phenols, which help in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood, protecting the liver from oxidative damage, and suppressing oxidative stress. 16Moreover, cold pressing methods is safer as they avoid the
