GMB trades in and processes the following grains:  Maize/Corn  Wheat  Soya beans  Small grains (millet, sorghum, rapoko)  Sugar beans  Groundnuts  Coffee  Maize meal, Wheat Flour  Stockfeeds

 Strategic Grain Reserve current capacity utilization is approximately 9%.  Commercial Value Addition business current capacity utilization is approximately 60%

GMB intends to expand as follows: (i) Maize meal processing business from 150mt/day to 500mt/day  The GMB therefore requires a maize milling plant with a capacity of at least 20tons/hour. (ii) Wheat processing business from 20mt/day to 240mt/day  The GMB therefore requires a flour milling plant with a capacity of 10tons/hour (iii) Small grains processing from 1mt/day to 30mt/day  The GMB therefore requires a small grains processing plant that can produce 30 ton/day.

GMB intends to expand as follows: (iv) Stock feeds production from 10mt/hr to 20mt/hr.  The GMB therefore requires additional stock feed manufacturing capacity of 20mt/hr. (v) Rehabilitation of our grain silos at 12 locations The above intentions have been on hold for a very long time due to liquidity challenges because the expansion activities are capital intensive. Our budget for the above expansions is USD25million and USD31m for silo rehab.

GMB is experiencing the following challenges Lack of funding for capital projects Obsolete equipment and machinery Lack of maintenance on infrastructure

• We welcome this German Exploration Network Initiative. • We look forward to a mutual cooperation in doing business together.
