Your tomorrow starts now. 

Smith Agri International are pleased to present this exceptional Australian Table Grape Breeding & Research Enterprise offered for sale for the first time. This multi-generational family program has and continues to produce exceptional varieties after decades of trials to deliver what is today considered to be market leading varieties with enormous opportunity for global expansion and market penetration. The commercialised varieties have been prepared by contracted Nurseries and are now being grown by select contracted Master Growers in Australia following PBR and IP protections. The same methodology of contracted assignment is well advanced in the USA. Recent export volumes and price returns have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from Exporting Agents and Fruit Buyers alike which has generated excitement and resulted in additional supply requests and orders. The existing Master Grower planted footprint in Australia is planned to more than double during 2024, which is a testament to the confidence in each variety, the opportunities to benefit from seasonal timings, highly desirable fruit characteristics and the strong projected financial returns. Those who understand the requirements of a Commercial Breeding Program i.e. industry knowledge, patience, tenacity, labour, tenure and care undertaken throughout the ‘trial - nursery - to supply-chain’ will be familiar with the level of diligence, research and dedication required in delivering these final and prized ‘ready for market’ varieties. In addition to the already commercialised varieties, there exists a strong R&D pipeline of additional varieties that are set to further solidify the enterprises global uptake and natural market share. This enterprise is now available for sale to a purchaser from within or opportunistically from outside the global fresh-food value chain and one that is ready to include these varieties and future pipeline into their existing stable. The successful purchaser stands to quickly benefit from the existing and expanding license agreements which provide very strong forecast income streams by way of Planting Royalty and ‘year on year’ Sales Royalty alike.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳: 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 Have you ever wondered how real Wagyu (translating to "Japanese cow") can come from Australia? Many believe it's exclusively Japanese, but let's clarify that misconception! Our recent blog post explores the fascinating world of Wagyu and Wagyu genetics. It turns out, while Wagyu originally hails from Japan, Australian farmers have successfully introduced and bred Wagyu cattle Down Under. These cattle even have 100% pureblood Wagyu genetics! Through meticulous breeding practices and adherence to high standards, Australian Wagyu has flourished, showcasing the same rich marbling and exquisite flavor that defines traditional Wagyu beef. This revelation highlights how Wagyu has become a global phenomenon, transcending borders and adapting to different climates and farming practices while preserving its renowned quality. For those curious about the origins and journey of Wagyu beef, I highly recommend reading the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gnBnurst

Meet our RoC Incubator "Shikhar Agro Pvt. Ltd". "The Government of Nepal has planned for a very long time to shift the slaughterhouses currently operating inside the valley to nearby places and has stopped registration of new slaughterhouses inside the valley. Sooner or later, every slaughterhouse inside the valley is required to be moved from the Kathmandu Valley locations. Few of the slaughterhouses have acquired land in such places but have failed to obtain permission from the local level. Considering the same, Shikar Agro Pvt. Ltd. a private company registered under the office of the company registrar, has been incorporated which has also obtained slaughterhouse permission from the local level authority in the name of Hamro Shikar Krishi Tatha Pashu Pakshi Badh Farm to operate at Lohonithok, Kanakot-9, Dhunibesi, Dhading, Nepal. Our primary objectives include operating the slaughterhouse under standard conditions including healthy raw material sourcing through health testing, proper and safe transportation, keeping live animals under clean and safe conditions, humane butchering, quality meat inspection and quality certifications, standard transportation of raw meat as well as other meat products including sausage, salami, minced meat etc." #RootsofCircularityinNepal #RoC #CircularEconomy #IHK #theEuropeanCommission #RoCIncubatorProgram #BagmatiCohort1 #circulareconomy

A warm welcome to Rodagria in the BEROCC community! 🌟 Rodagria is a young cooperative specializing in fruits, located in the village of Ogoru in Călărași County. Established by individuals coming from entirely different fields than agriculture, but with a strong attraction to nature, Rodagria is dedicated to cultivating cherries, strawberries, and berries. Although the Rodagria Cooperative officially came into existence in 2017, plans for this business had been in place since 2012. The founders, none of whom had a background in agriculture, claim that they were led into this entrepreneurial area by circumstance, inheriting land in the village of Ogoru, Dor Mărunt commune in Călărași County, as the first step towards what Rodagria represents today. The partners set out to practice agriculture responsibly, with the aim of bringing it to the attention of the end consumer. Rodagria Cooperative has the mission of promoting and ensuring the sale of Romanian fresh fruit production (strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blackberries) and processed products derived from them. Thus, the cooperative's activities focus on three main directions: logistics - both in terms of collection, conditioning, and supplying customers with fresh products; marketing and sales - promoting products, developing a unique identity; processing - exploiting derived products from primary products, investing in post-harvest production units. 🍓🍒 #Rodagria #Cooperative #FreshFruits
