The title of “Investor without borders” is an extremely important distinction for FEERUM. In 2018, export was responsible for over 70 pct. our revenues. We base our business not only on the economic calculation, but also on values that are important in every latitude. Customers in more than a dozen countries appreciate us, we are currently implementing, among others, contract for the construction of five drying and storage complexes in Tanzania, which is the largest project of this type in this country. At the beginning of this year, we started implementing contracts worth around 50 million EUR in Ukraine. Thanks to many years of cooperation with cereal producers, we perfectly understand the needs of our customers. We believe that a high quality product combined with financing is the key to export success, not only in Europe, but also in Africa and other countries around the world – said Daniel Janusz, president of the Management Board of FEERUM JSC.
