The company has as of today gained control of 128,800 hectares, of which about 69,000 are in direct or indirect ownership, and the Company plans to continue to acquire farmland as long as land prices are attractive. The Company’s target is to control about 200,000 hectares by the end of 2008 and harvest about 52,700 hectares in 2008. Alpcot Agro plans to float its shares on a Swedish stock market before the end of 2008.
