All of the home-harvested beets are used by the Sugar Business. The
beets come from the nearby territories, which minimises transporta-
tion costs. Pulp, molasses, refined sugar, betaine, and sugar beet lime
are sugar processing co-products. Pulp is exported, and sugar beet
lime is used as soil amendment.
Two molasses desugarisation facilities recover sucrose extract to
produce additional sugar, and betaine is exported. Sugar and cereals
are sold under six brands.
Grain is supplied to compound feed mills of the Meat Business. The
breeding farm raises young pigs and improves pig breeds. The sow
farm grows piglets for fattening and young animals for breeding re-
placements. The meat processing plant produces finished products,
including those sold under own private brand. Refuse is reduced
further for the production of compound feed, thereby closing the
production cycle.
The Agriculture Business sells soybeans and sometimes sunflower
seeds to the Oil and Fats Business to produce oil. The oil is sold to
third-party companies and used by the in-house oil and fats plants
to make products under 11 brands.
Part of the meal is worked into feed for pigs in the Meat Business.
Industrial fats are used to make spreads and cheese products.

In 2021, Rusagro exported products to50
countries. The main trading partners
are South-West Asia and CIS countries.
TheCompany also continued to develop
exports to East Asian countries, particularly
China and Vietnam.
Rusagro's export revenues in 2021 totalled RUB 65.6 bn – up 28% year-on-year.
The key driver of this growth was an increase in export revenues from the Oil and
Fats segment to RUB 54.6 bn (+59%) and the Meat segment to RUB 6.1 bn (+47%).
Restrictive trade measures being in effect in Russia in 2021 and the declining grain
harvest (–26%) made the revenues in the Agriculture segment drop considerably,
amounting to RUB 1.1 bn against RUB 6.7 bn the year earlier.

Statement by
the Chairman
of the Board
of Directors
Dear Shareholders,
The Board of Directors commends Rusagro's
performance in 2021. Despite trade restrictions
and retail price regulation in Russia, the
Company achieved its highest ever revenue and
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation, resulting in a 71% increase in net profit
toRUB41.4bn.
Rusagro's senior management demonstrated excellent performance
in achieving the Company's strategic goals in 2021. During the year,
Rusagro consolidated its status as the largest vertically integrated
and diversified Russian agricultural holding, launched a pig-breeding
cluster in the Primorye Territory, boosted exports of a range of product
categories, retained its position in the retail market, upgraded its
human capital assets and significantly advanced the automation and
digitalisation of all business processes. During the reporting period,
Rusagro issued its first ESG report after international standards and
started the work on its first sustainability strategy.
Today Rusagro is the largest national producer of sunflower oil and
consumer margarine, second largest producer of industrial fats
and mayonnaise, third largest producer of sugar and fourth largest
producer of pork (with a very small difference with the third largest
company of 0.6 ths tonnes). Rusagro also ranks fourth among Russia's
top landholders in terms of its agricultural land bank size.
The Company is a successful player not only in the industrial goods
market, but also in the retail segment. For example, Rusagro's sugar
brands (Russkii Sakhar, Chaikofsky, Khoroshiy and Mon Café) account
for 48% of the Russian white cube sugar market, while the Brauni brand
holds 28% of the brown cube sugar market. The brands of oil and fats
products occupy a significant share of local markets: in the Urals, the
No.1 mayonnaise brand with a 42% share is Provansal EZhK , and the
No.1 margarine brand with a 59% share is Schedroe Leto (Generous
Summer). The Slovo Myasnika (Butcher's Word) brand is still only fifth
in the Russian market, but is increasing its share every year (9% in
2021).
In order to gain its competitive edge, Rusagro commits significant
resources to deliver on a digital transformation strategy and to find
high-end innovative solutions. For better management of these
resources, the Company established Rusagro-Technology and a unified
Mathematical Simulation Service in 2021 to centralise its IT services.
In pursuit of innovative solutions the Company held a Rusagro Tech
Challenge competition together with the Skolkovo Foundation. As
results, five projects were selected to launch joint pilots.

STRATEGIC REPORT
RUSAGROGROUP.RU/EN
With well-targeted increase in investments into the development of
human capital (from RUB 2.6m to RUB 17.1m over the past five years),
Rusagro enjoyed successful results in this essential for business
continuity component in 2021. The investments covered various
projects aimed at the improvement of staff training and development
system and at its automation. For example, the number of man-courses
taken doubled and more employees were recruited as mentors and
internal instructors in the last year.
In an effort to share Rusagro's success, the Board of Directors
recommended record dividends of RUB 8.8 bn (USD 119.7 mn) for
1H 2021 (USD 119.7 mn), or RUB 65.0 per GDR (USD 0.89 per GDR).
In September 2021, the Board of Directors also resolved to increase
the minimum level of dividend payments from 25% to 50% of the
Company's net profit.

Statement
by the CEO
Rusagro's core business segments recorded the following adjusted
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in
the reporting period.
The year-end results showed that the Agriculture Business was the
most profitable business, generating 48% of Rusagro's EBITDA before
intersegment eliminations and other operating income and reaching
RUB 23.3 bn (+53% from 2020). Revenue growth of 22% (to RUB 41.9
bn) against relatively stable production costs enabled the Group to
achieve a profit margin of 56% year-on-year (44% in 2020). The positive
changes in market prices for agricultural products and increased sales
volumes of sugar beet and wheat were the key revenue drivers.
The Oil and Fats Business, the Company's largest business by revenue
size (51% of Rusagro's revenue before intersegment eliminations and
other operating income), posted a 36% increase in EBITDA to RUB 12.8
bn. This was favoured by a 57% rise in revenues (to RUB 125.2 bn) from
the sale of bulk oil, industrial fats and dairy products, the positive effect
of which was partially offset by a higher growth rate in raw material
costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 2 p.p. and stood at 10%.
After a period of declining earnings from 2017 to 2019, the Sugar
Business showed a recovery in this indicator for the second consecutive
year. EBITDA rose by 41% in 2021 to RUB 9.0 bn thanks to a 29%
increase in revenue (to RUB 36.4 bn) and a 2 p.p. improvement in
EBITDA margin (to 25%) on the back of slower rise in sugar beet
procurement cost as compared to revenue growth.
The Meat Business was the only business of the Company to experience
a decline in profits in 2021. This was mainly due to higher feed and
veterinary costs and the cost of launching the pig-breeding cluster in
the Primorye Territory, which would only reach full production capacity
in the next few years. As a result, despite revenue growth of 22% (to
RUB 39.6 bn), EBITDA fell by 9% (to RUB 5.9 bn) and EBITDA margin —
by 5 p.p. (to 15%).
Dear Shareholders,
Rusagro's financial results hit a new record in2021.
The revenue rose by 40% year-on-year and stood
atRUB 222.9 bn, and adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
grew by 50% and reached RUB 48.1 bn. This growth
was achieved through successful implementation
of our strategic priorities, better adaptation
tonew market conditions, developed export sales
andfavourable pricing environment in the global
agri-food market.

Strategic report /
STATEMENT BY THE CEO OF RUSAGRO GROUP OF COMPANIES
STRATEGIC REPORT
RUSAGROGROUP.RU/EN
In 2021, Rusagro continued the expansion of its export areas, generating
RUB 65.6 bn in export revenues, but was forced to reduce the share
ofrevenues from export operations from 32% to 29%. This had to do
with export restrictions on agricultural products and sunflower oil during
the year, as well as high local demand for sugar and its by-products due
toreduced sugar production in Russia. As a result, export revenues from
the Agriculture Business went down by 83% (to RUB 1.1 bn) and those from
the Sugar Business— by 34% (to RUB 3.7 bn). Meanwhile, the Company
managed to increase export revenues from the Oil and Fats Business and
Meat Business by 59% and 47%, respectively. Despite export quotas for
crude sunflower oil and lower demand for consumer oil products in key
purchasing countries, the Oil and Fats Segment again accounted for the
highest share of export revenue among the Company's other businesses
(44%).
Rusagro invested RUB 13.8 bn to implement its growth strategy and
maintain its existing business in 2021. With no new major projects, capital
expenditure was down 2% year-on-year. More than half of the allocated
funds (58%) were absorbed by the Meat Business, where the Company
continued to invest in the construction of a pork production cluster in the
Primorye Territory, with facilities launched during 2021. Investments in the
Agricultural Business totalled RUB 2.7 bn, the bulk of which was spent
for the purchase of machinery and vehicles to work on a new land plot in
the Saratov Region and to deliver a batching plant project in the Central
Region. Investments in the Oil and Fats Business and Sugar Business
amounted to RUB 2.1 bn and RUB 1.0 bn, respectively.
To deliver on our strategic priorities and business development, we
projected an increase in capital expenditure in 2022 to cover the further
construction of a pig-breeding cluster in the Primorye Territory, expand
the capacity of our oil extraction plants and increase our agricultural
fleet. However, at the end of February 2022, Russia faced unprecedented
sanctions, the effects of which necessitated a review of the Company's
further investment programme and strategic plans.

strategy
The strategic business goal of Rusagro is to increase
returns for shareholders while adhering to the mission
of "Making people’s lives better and longer". In order
to achieve this goal in 2008, the Board of Directors
approved a strategic concept "From Field to Shelf",
which implementation is based on the Company's
vertically integrated business model in the area of food
production.
The strategy of the Company and its business units covers a period of five years and is annually
reviewed by the Board of Directors to redirect the efforts in order to address the changes
intheexternal environment and to effectively manage financial and human resources. The success
oftheCompany’s strategy rests upon a careful selection of long-term priorities and the exceptional
quality of the investment process that ensures a high return on equity.
In 2021, Rusagro decided to develop a sustainable development strategy, which aims towards
maintaining stable growth, adding more value for all stakeholders and enhancing the transparency
of non-financial information about the Company's activities. The Company plans to complete this
strategy in 2022, and consequently extend the list of its strategic priorities and tailor the corporate
governance system accordingly for their successful accomplishment.
Rusagro's strategy is a classified document, and its targets are exempt from public disclosure,
asthis entails significant risks and may prejudice the Company's success. For the demonstration
oftheCompany's success in implementing key priorities, the Annual Report contains an assessment

AREA OF FARMING LANDS
In 2021, Rusagro invested RUB 13.8 bn in achieving the desired goals – the projects to maintain and
to develop existing assets. The volume of investment dipped marginally – by 2% year-on-year. The
largest share of funds (58%, or RUB 8.1 bn) in the reporting period was allocated to the Meat Business,
which still continued the construction of a cluster in the Primorye Territory. Rusagro invested 19% of
the total budget (RUB 2.7 bn) in the Agriculture Business – down RUB 0.7 bn from the year earlier as
the expansion of the land bank necessitated the purchase of additional equipment and vehicles. The
reporting period also recorded higher investments in the Oil and Fats Segment – from RUB 1.8 bn to
RUB 2.1 bn – due to the projects for the relocation and expansion of oil extraction capacities. As all
major investment projects in the Sugar Business were completed, the investment to this segment was
cut by 33% and stood at RUB 1.0 bn.

Over the past five years, Rusagro has
significantly expanded its oil and fats
production capacity and has occupied leading
positions in Russia. In 2019, the Company leased
and gradually bought out two oil extraction
plants and one oil and fats plant owned by
Solnechnye Produkty, thus stepping up the
output of vegetable oil four-fold, industrial fats
– thirteen-fold, and bottled oil and mayonnaise
– ten-fold.

Seeking out to maintain market share in a
growing market and to lay the groundwork
for the promotion of pork products exports,
between 2017–2021 Rusagro invested in the
expansion of pork production in the Tambov
Region, the creation of a vertically integrated
cluster in Primorye Territory and the acquisition
of the Kapital-Agro assets in the Belgorod
Region. This drove up live-weight pork
production by 49% – from 207 ths to 309 ths
tonnes.
Amid limited opportunities to expand its Sugar
Business over the past five years, Rusagro has
focused on improving the productivity of its
plants and reducing sugar losses. 2018 saw
the upgrade of two sugar plants, resulting in a
8% increase in their capacity. In 2017 and 2019,
Rusagro launched two molasses desugarisation
facilities, which allowed an extra sugar
production of over 100 ths tonnes from the
same volume of beet.
The main objectives of Rusagro's Oil and Fats Business are to maintain leading brand positions in
home regions. In 2021 in the Urals, the Provansal EZhK brand ranked first in the mayonnaise market
and the Schedroe Leto (Generous Summer) brand – in the consumer margarine market. In Moscow,
second place in the mayonnaise market went to the Moscovsky Provansal brand, which appeared in
Rusagro's brand portfolio in 2019.

After the launch of its own brand at the end of 2016, Rusagro has been steadily upping the production
of its own-branded consumer pork products. Based on the 2021 results, sales volume of chilled semi-
finished products under the Slovo Myasnika (Butcher's Word) brand have risen from 3 ths to 23 ths
tonnes over the last five years, and the market share of semi-finished pork products (including those
with the addition of other meats) – from 2% to 9%

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATIONS
Rusagro approved the digital transformation
strategy to introduce automation systems
and develop innovative solutions for process
optimisation in each business segment. This
strategy is an integral part of the overall
development strategy of each business. Higher
profits from cost reductions, improved risk
control and enhanced productivity against
lower human errors and better decision-
making are the shared objectives of the digital
transformation strategy for all of the Company's
business segments.
For the next phases of the strategies to be
successfully implemented in 2021, it was
decided to centralise the IT service and create
a company called Rusagro-Technology. A
Mathematical Simulation Service was also set
up to support the Company's objectives in
working with technologies such as computer
vision – at the end of the year there were 10
people in the team with 22 projects in the
pipeline.

DEVELOPMENT
OF HUMAN
CAPITAL
Human capital development is central to
the sustainable growth of all Rusagro's
business segments. Between 2017 and
2021, the Company increased investments
in training and development seven-fold,
from RUB 2.6 mn to RUB 17.1 mn, having
built an effective system to support
employees at all levels and positions every
step of their way.
The institute of internal instructors
established in 2017 already had 585
employees in 2021 (+13% from 2020), and
the number of mentors grew to 1,133 (+23%
from 2020). The distance learning system
enabled Rusagro to markedly improve
its training performance: the number of
employees trained almost tripled over
the past five years – from 7,581 to 19,673.
Moreover, there was a significant increase
in the number of man-courses after the
launch of the SAP SuccessFactors platform
in 2020. For example, in 2017 this figure
stood at only 5,214 man-courses, whereas
in 2020 it was already at 42,808. In 2021,
we hit a record high of 87,344 man-courses
completed.

Agriculture
In 2021, Rusagro farmed 604 ths
hectares and grew 5 mn tonnes
ofagricultural products: sugar beets,
grains and oilseeds.
BUSINESS
Overview
Due to weather conditions in 2021, Russian agricultural
agricultural producers came against the need to reseed
winter crops. This led to a decrease in the wheat and barley
yields by 13.0 mn tonnes (–12%) and a 9.4 mn tonnes (–21%)
reduction in exports of these crops. The latter was also
added up by the imposition of duties. Market prices rose
for the second consecutive year for all the major crops,
including maize, sunflower, soybeans and sugar beet.

PRODUCTION
Rosstat's preliminary figures indicate that the
production of wheat, barley and maize in the
2021/2022 season was set at 108.6 mn tonnes,
10% (–12.1 mn tonnes) below the season earlier.
Such drop was caused by a decline in lower
wheat and barley harvest after a particularly
productive previous season, by 12% (–10.0 mn
tonnes) to 75.9 mn tonnes and by 14% (–3.0 mn
tonnes) to 18.0 mn tonnes, respectively.
Furthermore, both the area sown with these
crops and their yields decreased due to the
difficult wintering conditions, which led to a
high percentage of winter crops dying and
being reseeded by spring crops, mainly oilseeds.
Maize demonstrated a positive trend, with a 6%
increase in harvest (+0.8 mn tonnes), and stood
at 14.6 mn tonnes.
Comment:
This market review covers fewer than all
crops grown in Russia and includes the
crops holding a significant share of the
gross yield of Russian producers, including
Rusagro. Thus, the Report addresses sugar
beet, as well as wheat, barley and maize as
grain crops, and sunflower and soybeans as
oilseeds. Data for other crops can be found
on the Rosstat website.

Preliminary sunflower and soybean harvest
data for the 2021/2022 season indicate a 15%
increase of (up 2.7 mn tonnes) in the aggregate,
which totalled 20.3 mn tonnes. The sunflower
output posted a considerable rise of 17% (up 2.2
mn tonnes) and reached 15.5 mn tonnes, fuelled
by the growing area under this crop (+14%) due
to the reseeding of dead winter crops.

REVIEW OF RUSAGRO'S BUSINESS RESULTS
RUSAGROGROUP.RU/EN
In 2021, exports of the main crops considered
herein sat at 39.9 mn tonnes, down 22% (down
11.2 mn tonnes) from 2020. For example, ship-
ments of wheat, barley and maize fell by 9.4mn
tonnes (–20%) and those of sunflower and
soybean – by 1.8 mn tonnes (–63%). Exports
ofwheat dropped the most (down 8.1mn
tonnes, or –21%) as a result of lower yields
and government restrictions, as did sunflower
exports (down 1.3 mn tonnes, or –96%).
In 2021, Turkey, with a 21% share, topped the list
of Russia's biggest grain importers. Volume of
shipments thereto totalled 8.0 mn tonnes (+1%).
Even with purchase volume reduced by24%,
Egypt was the second significant buyer, pur-
chasing 5.1 mn tonnes of grain crops in there-
porting period.
The main crop imported in Russia is soybeans –
1.8 mn tonnes of this crop were imported in2021,
down 11% (–0.2 mn tonnes) from ayear earlier.
The downward trend is driven bythehigh level
of domestic oilseed production, the postponed
commissioning of new oil-extraction capacities,
and the simplied import procedure of geneti-
cally modified meal into Russia. The main im-
porters of soybeans are Brazil (46% of supplies)
and Paraguay (40%). The volume of all crops
imported into Russia was 2.1 mn tonnes (–13%).
Governmental restrictions
In 2021, Russia imposed a number of export
restrictions on grains and oilseeds. In addi-
tion to the quota of 17.5 mn tonnes for grain
exports, there were duties on wheat, corn
and barley. Duties on sunflower, soybean
and rapeseed were in effect in 2021 and will
continue to be so until August 2022.

PRICES
In 2021, the average annual price of agricultural
products in Russia kept rising for the second
year in a row. Thus, prices for wheat, barley and
maize rose by 15% (to 14.4 ths RUB/t), 28% (to
12.8 ths RUB/t) and 20% (to 14.4 ths RUB/t)
respectively. The key contributors to this trend
were a poor wheat and barley harvest in the
2021/2022 season and higher world prices
resulting from lower production due to adverse
weather conditions, with the latter being partly
offset by grain export duties.

Oil crops showed an even higher rate of price

flower prices went up by 73% and reached
41.4thsRUB/t, while soybean prices rose by
63% and stood at 43.7 ths RUB/t. That also
related the global market situation, involving
higher palm oil prices, growing demand in China
due to the gradual recovery of pork production
and the loss of the rapeseed crop in Canada due
to bad weather conditions.
Meanwhile, after a record low in sugar beet
prices in 2019, the prices were trending upwards
for the past two years, following a decline in
crop volumes amid adverse weather conditions
in 2020 and a subsequent rise in sugar prices.
In 2021, prices witnessed their highest level in
five years. According to preliminary data from
Rosstat, the price of sugar beet spiked by 48%
over the year and sat at 3.3 ths RUB/t annual
average.

Arable land Other land
In 2021, the total area of land under Rusagro’s management by the end of
the year amassed 689 ths ha, increasing by 52 ths ha (+8%) due to a land
lease agreement in the Saratov Region. The share of arable land is 88%. The
expansion of the land bank was mainly hindered by the major increase in
land prices in Russia against the background of high prices for agricultural
products and the availability of spare capital in the country.
The total storage capacity, including four elevators and five grain storage
sites, totalled 997 ths tonnes (+0%).

LEGAL STRUCTURE OF LANDS
Rusagro's agricultural land ownership structure changed in 2021. As at the
end of 2021, Rusagro owned half (50%) of all the Company's agricultural
land. With short-term land leases in the Saratov Region, the proportion of
land owned by the Company shrank from 54% to 50%. Other reasons for
the change in the lease share were the renunciation of leasehold rights on
several inefficient land plots and the acquisition of ownership in a number
of leasehold land plots with common ownership.

Comment:
The change in the crop rotation pattern
in2021 was brought about by the aban-
donment of barley cultivation due to its
low profit margin relative to other crops
(3%ofthe sown area in 2020), the reseeding
of some amount of wheat with sunflower
and the increase in fallow areas as new land
plots were leased in the Saratov Region.

Rusagro's 2021 investments in development and
maintenance of the Agriculture Business to-
talled RUB 2.7 bn, up 31% year-on-year. Higher
investments in business development were
related to the purchase of machinery to work
on a new land area in the Saratov Region and
the implementation of a batching plant project
in the Central Region. Meanwhile, the mainte-
nance required more funds given the need to
renew soil preparation and fertiliser equipment,
as well as to renovate passenger and light car
fleet. According to the year-end results, 66% of
investments were absorbed by development
projects.

IT AND INNOVATIONS
In 2017–2018, the Rusagro's Agriculture Business
developed a digital management transformation
strategy for 2018–2022 to increase efficiency along
the entire production chain. In 2021, the strategy's
goals were accomplished through the development
and implementation of five key planning algorithms
for business operations, which are an integral part
ofthe overall smart farming system of the Company.

Digital fields
Rusagro's field management automation
function is realised through digital field
twins containing information on electron-
ic field boundaries, crop history, handling
operations and nutritional characteris-
tics of the soil in the fields. Operational
field monitoring tasks are addressed by
analysing the satellite image-based NDVI
index and field scouting by agriscientists.
This optimises the use of machinery and
vehicles, crop area, fertiliser and CPA
quantities and application zones, and
allows for better control over the timing
sowing and harvesting.

Soil fertility recovery project
In 2021, Rusagro initiated a project to improve soil fertility based on fertility models generated for
each field in the study area with a view to increase the yield of cultivated crops. Such models will
represent the set of agronomically relevant soil properties and regimes which allow for most efficient
use of land resources and maximise yields without loss of quality. The first models were generated
following the year-end results – Rusagro will start the roll-out under these models from the beginning
of the 2022 field season. Model generation is expected to cover more fields in 2022.
AssistAgro is a machine vision technology for
agronomic decision-making
AssistAgro
1
was established in 2021 to develop crop management
technologies at Rusagro and to offer these technologies to the market.
AssistAgro mainly deals with the development of an automatic open
field plant diagnostic system based on photo analysis, yield forecasting,
recommendations for increasing returns per hectare and robot-assisted
operations management. With remote diagnostics and precision farming
tools, agricultural companies will also be able to improve control over
their carbon footprint and impact on soil fertility.
In 2021, the Company received Skolkovo resident status and
accreditation from the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications
and Mass Media of the Russian Federation as an IT company. In
December 2021, AssistAgro, together with Rusagro-Invest, won a
grant to implement and refine artificial intelligence in crop production
from the Skolkovo Foundation (VEB.RF Group) under the federal
Artificial Intelligence project of the Digital Economy of the Russian
Federation national programme. AssistAgro's project to introduce a
weed identification and crop density counting solution received a highly
positive evaluation by the competition members.
AssistAgro's first product, an automated field scouting and digital
agri-service management system, is now available to the market. The
second product – an advisory system with yield and profit forecasts for
different technology scenarios – is planned to be presented by the end
of next year, and an automated machinery and vehicles control solution
– in another year.
SoyuzSemSvekla genetics and breeding centre on accelerated creation of
advanced sugar beet hybrids
Together with Schelkovo Agrochem, Rusagro has been involved in the development of yield-
enhancing sugar beet hybrids since 2017. SoyuzSemSvekla, a genetics and breeding centre,
was opened in the Voronezh Region in 2019. The Centre focuses on creating new high-yielding,
disease-resistant sugar beet hybrids that are equal in basic biological and morphological
characteristics. The sugar beet hybrids of our own breeding are registered in the National Register
of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use in Russia. SoyuzSemSeekla has been selling the
seeds of its hybrids in all key beet-growing regions since 2021.
SoyuzSemSvekla genetics and breeding centre works in the framework of the Federal Scientific
and Technical Programme for the Development of Agriculture for 2017–2025, the Sub-programme
for the Development of Selection and Seed Production of Sugar Beets in the Russian Federation
according to the designed comprehensive scientific and technical project “Development of
Highly Competitive Sugar Beet Hybrids of Domestic Breeding and the Organisation of their
Seed Production System”. In 2019, a commission of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture qualified
this project for governmental support, which was received in 2020–2021. SoyuzSemSvekla was
granted Skolkovo resident status in 2021.

OPERATING RESULTS
PRODUCTION
The gross grain harvest suffered a decline upon
the refusal to sow barley (18 ths ha in 2020)
and unfavourable weather conditions for winter
crops: due to extreme wintering conditions, as
well as low moisture levels and high tempera-
tures during the grain filling period, wheat yields
fell from 5.1 to 4.1 t/ha. As a result, the wheat
production totalled 713 ths tonnes (–29%)
and barley – 2 ths tonnes (–98%). However,
the Company still boosted the gross harvest
ofmaize by 51% (to 163 ths tonnes) byreducting
its sowing period and optimising its harvesting
time.
Another positive development was associated
with higher gross yield of oil crops, which was
attained through the expansion of planting
area. Thus, the soybean output rose by 21% (+60
ths tonnes) and the sunflower output – by 7%
(+5 ths tonnes) owing to the 22% (+35 ths ha)
and 26% (+6 ths ha) increase, respectively, in
planting areas under these crops. The growth of
the soybean crop was restrained by high tem-
peratures and lack of rainfall during the soybean
blossom period, and that of sunflower – by its
use as a crop to reseed winter wheat die-off
without basic autumn tillage. This reduced
soybean yield by 2% to 1.7 t/ha and sunflower
yield by 15% to 2.5 t/ha.

Rusagro's 2021 total output was 4,956 ths
tonnes, up 494 ths tonnes (+11%) from a
year earlier. The higher figures were largely
attributed to the increased gross sugar beet
yield, amounting to 3,637 ths tonnes, up 748 ths
tonnes (+26%) year-on-year. Such results were
achieved through rising crop yield to 40.5 t/ha
(+17%) thanks to wind erosion control activities
and record yields in recent years on irrigated
land. The area under sugar beet expanded by
8% (+6 ths ha) and amassed 90 ths ha.

RUSAGRO’S SALES VOLUME
OF OIL CROPS
ths tonnes
In 2021, sales volumes of Rusagro's Agriculture
Business climbed by 13% and reached to 4,838
ths tonnes compared to 2020. The positive
dynamics is associated with the growth of the
sugar beet harvest and a higher level of wheat
carry-over at the end of 2020. Sales of sugar
beet went up by 22% (+637 ths tonnes) and
wheat – by 17% (+114 ths tonnes) year-on-year.
Grain sales, which fell by a total of 8% (–76
ths tonnes), were affected by the abandon-
ment of barley cultivation as a relatively
low-margin crop and the transfer of some
maize volumes to 2022 in expectation of
better prices. Barley sales fell by 91% (–112
ths tonnes) and maize – by 52% (down 78 ths
tonnes) compared to the previous year.
Oil crops sales also declined (–5%, down 19
ths tonnes). Sunflower sales volumes dropped
by 24% (down 18 ths tonnes) year-on-year
due to lower sunflower carry-overs at the end
of 2020 and the transfer of some volumes to
2022 due to the expectation of higher prices.
The level of soybean sales remained roughly
at the previous year's level.
All sugar beet (100%) of the Agriculture Busi-
ness is sold to Rusagro's sugar plants. Part
of the grain crops goes to the Meat Business
for feed production – in 2021, the share of
internal sales slipped down from 37% to 18%
due to heightened third-party demand. The
share of oilseeds supplied to Rusagro's plant
spiked from 3% to 15% upon launching an oil
extraction plant to process soybeans in the
Primorye Territory.
Domestic sales became more profitable
against the backdrop of export restrictions,
while export shipments of agricultural prod-
ucts fell by 63% (down 174 ths tonnes). For
example, 87 ths tonnes of grain and 14 ths
tonnes of oilseeds were sold outside Russia –
down 26% and 91% respectively from the year
earlier. All the grain crops were sold to Asian
countries – Japan, China, and Korea.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Rusagro's agricultural business posted record
financial performance in 2021. Due to favourable
pricing conditions – market prices for agri-
cultural commodity prices were trending
upwards for the second consecutive year – and
a bumper sugar beet harvest, revenues stood
at RUB41.9bn, up 22% (up RUB 7.5 bn) above
the previous year. The Company increased its
EBITDA margin from 44% to 56% by selling
asignificant volume of products at 2020
production cost. As a result, adjusted earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amorti-
sation (EBITDA) went up by53% (up RUB 8.1 bn)

In 2021, Rusagor’s Oil and Fats
Business processed 1.4 mn tonnes
ofsunflower seeds cultivated bylocal
agricultural producers.
Overview
A lower sunflower harvest in 2020 (–13% compared to 2019)
drove the sunflower oil production in the 2020/2021 season down
by9%. This, together with strong global demand for vegetable
oils as thefinal carry-overs run out, improved domestic sunflower
oil pricing. Russia imposed restrictive measures on the export
ofsunflower seeds and sunflower oil and froze maximum retail
prices to curb the price development.

Vegetable oil production in the 2020/2021 season fell by 7%, reaching 6.8 mn tonnes. Sunflower oil
was the core driver of the decline as its output dropped by 9% and stood at 5.3 mn tonnes due to a
lower sunflower harvest in 2020 (–13% from 2019 level). For 2021 calendar year, Russia produced 5.0
mn tonnes of sunflower oil, down 14% year-on-year. This downturn was partly contained by export
duties on sunflowers. With a 17% increase in the sunflower harvest in 2021, sunflower oil production in
the 2021/2022 season can yet rise to 5.9 mn tonnes (+10%).
Higher demand against stagnant household incomes in 2021 caused production of industrial fats in
Russia to rise by 6%, amounting to 1.3 mn tonnes. This growth mainly concerned universal fats (+8%,
or 28 ths tonnes), cocoa butter analogues (+31%, or 15 ths tonnes) and confectionery fats (+19%, or
12 ths tonnes). The output mix of the different categories of industrial fats is determined by strong
demand from the domestic confectionery and dairy industries and shows a slight year-to-year
variation.

KEY
PLAYERS
CRUDE VEGETABLE OIL
The 2020/2021 season witnessed seven players,
jointly holding 57% of the total domestic
production of crude sunflower oil. With a 13%
share (+1.0 p.p. against the 2019/2020 season)
and crude sunflower oil output of 664 ths
tonnes in the 2020/2021 season, Rusagro
topped the major producer list, according to
the All-Russian Union of Oils and Fats and
Company's estimates. Estimates showed that
Yug Rusi (South of Russia) could account for

RUSAGROS’ PLACE AMONG
PRODUCERS OF PACKAGED
VEGETABLE OIL IN RUSSIA IN 2021
The Russian industrial fats market in 2021
featured three major players, with a combined
share of 81%. The market leader is EFKO – in
2021 the company claimed 48% (+0.9 p.p.) of
the domestic industrial fats market. Rusagro
secured its second place and a 22% share. Cargill
is traditionally in third place – its share rose up
by 1.5 p.p. and stood at 11%.
Five players account for more than half of
national packaged vegetable oil output
(56%). The largest of these is Yug Rusi. As this
company does not belong within the Russian Oil
and Fats Union, Rusagro expertly estimated its
production volumes at 420 ths tonnes, and its
share in Russian production at 22% (+0.3 p.p.).
With a share of 6% (–1.2 p.p.), Rusagro may go
after the fifth place in the ranking.

CRUDE VEGETABLE OIL

On 1 September 2021, Russia introduced
a floating export duty on sunflower oil
exported outside the EEU and will have it
place until 31 August 2022. This duty is 70%
of the difference between the benchmark
price (USD 1,000/t) and the indicative price
(arithmetic average of monthly market
prices), minus the adjustment factor
(USD50/t). In 2021, the export duty on sun-
flower oil hardly weighed on export volumes,
but still it curtailed the influence of soaring
world prices on domestic prices.

Contracting domestic production of vegetable oil in the 2020/2021 season pushed exports down
by 14% season-on-season. This has to do with smaller amount of crude sunflower oil shipments,
which totalled 2.7 mn tonnes as of season-end (–19% from the season earlier). Export volumes are
anticipated to increase in the new season as there are projections of output growth in January–August
2022 on the back of a higher sunflower harvest in 2021.
Turkey, Iran, China and Egypt have been the main buyers of Russian crude sunflower oil for the past
few years. In the 2020/2021 season, Turkey and Iran accounted for 28% (+8 p.p.) and 27% (+14 p.p.) of
all Russian exports, respectively. As Turkey has zero duties on sunflower oil imports, supplies to this
country increased by 12%, totalling 757 ths tonnes. Sales to Iran amounted to 731 ths tonnes, posting
a noticeable increase (+61%) on the back of growing demand and a lower spread for sunflower oil
compared to soybean and palm oil.

Russia imports a small amount of consumer oil
products – mainly olive oil from Spain and Italy.
Vegetable oil imports in 2021 were 25 ths tonnes
(+1%), including 10 ths tonnes from each of
these two countries. Imports of mayonnaise and
mayonnaise-based sauces continued to decline
(–37%, or 2 ths tonnes year-on-year), influenced
by stagnating imports of popular in Russia
Korean sauces and lower imports in the Far East.
In 2021, Russia cut down exports of the major
categories of consumer oil products by 25%
(down 213 ths tonnes year-on-year). Due to
more favourable conditions for exporting oil in
bulk, bottled vegetable oil shipments recorded
the most significant drop, by 32%, or 210 ths
tonnes, and footed up 446 ths tonnes. Exports
of consumer margarine and spreads fell by 7%
(down 7 ths tonnes) and stood at 85 ths tonnes.
Supplies of mayonnaises and mayonnaise-
based sauces showed a 3% increase and
amounted to 94 ths tonnes.

The average annual price for sunflower oil in Russia rose by 60% in 2021 compared to the 2020
average, reaching 89.1 ths RUB/t, excl. VAT. The escalation of market prices during the year was
driven by strong global demand for vegetable oils on the back of declining final carry-overs and
lower oil production in Russia for the 2020/2021 season. Most of the growth was recorded between
January and May, while starting from June prices began the adjustment trend inspired by the
expectations of high sunflower production in the 2021/2022 season, both in Russia and in other
counties across the world. Domestic prices were also constrained by current export duties on
sunflower and sunflower crude oil.
Higher inflation and vegetable oil prices in 2021 fuelled up the producer prices for the major categories
of consumer oil and fats products. Thus, the market prices for packaged sunflower oil rose by 54% – to
88.2 RUB/kg excl. VAT, and for mayonnaise and margarine – by 29 and 23% (to 97.0 and 66.3 RUB/kg
excl. VAT), respectively. The price of spreads went up by 11% and came out at 144.1 RUB/kg, excl. VAT.

In 2021, Rusagro invested RUB 2.1 bn into
development and maintenance of the Oil and
Fats Business, The 15% year-on-year increase
in investments was attributable to the costs
of a project to relocate oil and fats production
capacities between sites and to increase the
capacities of the Balakovsky Oil Extraction

IT AND INNOVATIONS
In 2020, Rusagro's Oil and Fats
Business approved a 2021–2026
digital transformation strategy aimed
at optimising costs and improving
productivity through advanced
automation systems. The greatest
focus in 2021 was on automation
ofsunflower procurement
management, output and storage of
finished oil andfats products.
OIL EXTRACTION
Digital twins of oil extraction plants
and raw material management models
based on theDigital Farmer platform
andtransportation management systems
(TMS) and yard management systems (YMS)
Optimisation of the sunflower transportation cost
andtiming, and its storage and processing locations
20222021
Digital Farmer – transfer to a digital interface for
interaction with suppliers
In 2021, Rusagro successfully launched a desktop and mobile
application, Digital Farmer, to automate work with raw material
suppliers. More than 1,500 agricultural producers in the three
regions where the Oil and Fats Business operates were already
using the app as at the end of the year. In good time, we expect to
roll out the app to other Rusagro regions as well. The Company
also expressed a willingness to provide access to the app to non-
competitors of Rusagro.
In users' opinion, this additional method of interaction saves time
and simplifies the agricultural produce selling procedure. With
the digital service on offer, suppliers have the opportunity to use
transport ordering, digitally signed purchase and sale options,
exchange information on deliveries and professional advices, and
receive up-to-date analytics..

innovative products with improved consumer properties. For
example, since 2021 the Company has been involved in a project to
produce compound fats from micro-organisms for use in various
sectors of the food industry. Also, the Company is looking into
unique alternatives to existing cocoa butter substitutes on the

RUSAGRO’S PRODUCTION
OF INDUSTRIAL FATS IN 2021
Following a turndown in demand for finished
products on domestic and global markets and
a simultaneous increase in demand for crude
oil, Rusagro's output of consumer oil products
in 2021 declined by 12% and stood at 297 ths
tonnes (down 41 ths tonnes). The production of
bottled oil fell by 20% (down 30 ths tons) and
amounted to 120 ths tonnes, mayonnaise and
mayonnaise-based sauces – by 4% (down 5
ths tonnes) to 139 ths tonnes, margarines and
spreads – by 13% (down 6 ths tonnes).
Rusagro's crude vegetable oil production in 2021 decreased by 3% (down 23 ths tonnes) and amounted
to 649 ths tonnes. Due to weakening crop, the Company processed 1.4 mn tonnes of sunflowers, 6%
less than a year earlier. This led to a 5% drop (down 33 ths tonnes) in oil output, standing at 639 ths
tonnes. In addition to sunflower oil, 58 ths tonnes of soybean oil were processed and 10 ths tonnes of
soybean oil were produced (there was no soybean oil production in 2020). The production of meal was
maintained at last year's level due to the processing of soybeans, which have a higher meal yield than
sunflowers. Production volume was 594 ths tonnes.
Rusagro produces all the main types of industrial fats, except cocoa butter analogues. The bulk of
the products mix is represented by universal margarines and fats that are the most in-demand at the
domestic market. In 2021, the Company stepped up its production of industrial fats by 11%, totalling
364 ths tonnes, through the launch of an additional line in July 2020 for filling industrial fats into tank
trucks and the increase in productivity of the puff pastry margarine production line.

Sales of dairy products amounted to 30 ths

as ingredients for instant products, as cream
powder for instant coffee and as additives for
meat and confectionery products rose by 6%
and totalled 15 ths tonnes. Sales volume of
consumer dairy products grew by 9% as sales of
cheese and butter increased.
Sales of consumer oil products fell by 5%
(down 17 ths tonnes) to 325 ths tonnes. All
categories posted negative growth during
the reporting period. Margarines and spreads
(–18%, or down 8 ths tonnes) saw the biggest
drop, mainly due to high product stocks in key
export countries. Bottled oil and mayonnaise
and mayonnaise-based sauces (48% and
41% of total sales of consumer oil and fats
products) decreased by 2% and 4%, to 157 ths
and 133 ths tonnes, respectively.
In 2021, Rusagro's industrial oil and fats sales
volume increased by 2% (up 25 ths tonnes) and
totalled 1,308 ths tonnes. The upward trend was
contributed to by higher sales of industrial fats,
which rose by 8% (up 25 ths tonnes to 335 ths
tonnes) compared to 2020, when quarantine
measures dampered demand for this type of
products. Sales grew to 391 ths tonnes (+2%,
or up 6 ths tonnes) on the back of an attractive
crude oil price environment.
In 2021, Rusagro won ten-
ders to supply liquid frying
fats to several leading inter-
national companies in the
HoReCa segment in 2022.
As a result, the Company
became Russia's largest
supplier of deep frying oils in
this segment.

Exports
In the reporting period, 41% of all oil and fats
products sold by the Rusagro were destined
for export, its total volume amounting to 882
ths tonnes – down 4% year-on-year. Industrial
exports remained more or less consistent with
the previous year (575 ths tonnes): exports of
meal decreased (–17%, or 33 ths tonnes), but
supplies of crude oil (+7%, or 23 ths tonnes) and
industrial fats (+32%, or 12 ths tonnes) increased.
More than half (51%, or 185 ths tonnes) of the

Export volumes of consumer oil and fats

– to 107 ths tonnes) as a result of a 37% (down
31 ths tonnes) drop in bottled oil shipments,
reaching 54 ths tonnes, which was due to more
beneficial conditions for exporting oil in bulk.
Uzbekistan is the largest buyer of bottled oil
and margarines from Rusagro; totalling 29 ths
tonnes of bottled oil (54% of exports) and 10 ths
tonnes of consumer margarines (41% of exports)
in 2021. Mayonnaise sales outside Russia rose
by 6% and amounted to 24 ths tonnes, 25% of
which was sold to Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
JSC Zhirovoy Kombinat (Fats Plant), part of the
Rusagro Oil and Fats Business, won first place in the
"Agribusiness Exporter of the Year" nomination in
the "Large Business" category of the "Exporter of the
2021 Year" federal competition hosted by the Russian
Export Center. The awards ceremony was held on 10
December in Moscow at the Made in Russia forum.
The ceremony was attended by Vladimir Aleksandrov,
General Director of Rusagro's Oil and Fats Business.
Rusagro was pressing forward the sales of consumer
oil and fats products in China in 2021. For example, the
Company supplied sunflower oil under the Leto Krasno
brand to the Hema network (Alibaba Group Holding
Limited) for the first time in August. With a view to
develop online sales, a speciality store of oil and fats
products called Hangzhou Rusagro was opened on the
JD.com marketplace, featuring both bottled oil under
Leto Krasno brand and mayonnaise under the Ya lublu
gotovit brand – Moscovsky Provansal. In November,
the Company successfully sent to China a whole train
of bottled sunflower oil of the Schedroe Leto, Ya lublu
gotovit, BONISSIMO, and Leto Krasno brands.

Brands
In 2021, 42% (+2 p.p.) of oil and fats products
sales and 60% (–3 p.p.) of Rusagro's Oil and
Fats Business revenue came from the consumer
segment. Rusagro’s oil and fat products
traditionally occupy leading positions in the
home regions. Thus, according to AC Nielsen
data for 2021, Provansal EZhK mayonnaise
ranked first in the Urals with a 42% share, while
Moskovsky Provansal was number two in the
Central Russian with a 22% market share. As
of the year-end, the Schedroe Leto consumer
margarine brand is the number one on the Urals
market with a share of 59%, and the Saratovsky
Provansal brand is in second place on the Volga
Region market with a share of 28%. These two
brands also hold prominent positions in the
Russian market – they are in third and second
place respectively (each with 12% share).
FINANCIAL RESULTS
In 2021, Rusagro's Oil and Fats Business
generated RUB 125.2 bn in revenue, which grew
by 57% (+ RUB 45.5 bn) due to higher market
prices for industrial and consumer oil and fats
products on the back of strong global demand
for vegetable oils. The production cost of sell
goods climbed up more slowly than selling
prices, however driving the profit margin down
from 12% to 10%. As a result, adjusted earnings
before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA)
posted less growth than revenues (+36%) and
stood at RUB 12.8 bn.

The unfavourable epizootic situation in 2021 dampened the growth
of pork production in Russia – it remained almost level with
theprevious year. Average market prices for livestock went up
by 26% year-on-year, spurred by rising poultry prices and higher
pig growing costs. Meanwhile, Russian producers achieved a 34%

In 2021, exports of pork (half-carcasses, large
cuts, industrial cuts and semi-finished products)
and pork offal from Russia showed a 7% year-
on-year decrease and amounted to 203 ths
tonnes (down 14 ths tonnes). This mainly covered
the reduced offal deliveries (–24%, or –20 ths
tonnes), which was partially compensated for by
a 4% increase in pork exports (up 5 ths tonnes).
The negative growth in pork offal deliveries was
mainly caused by lower deliveries to Hong Kong
(–59%, or –23 ths tonnes). Due to high demand
on the domestic market, the pork exports
experienced just a light decline.

Russia, and Russia is still Vietnam's largest supplier of pork and second

Hong Kong fell from 18% to 8%, resulting from the lower buying interest in
China on the back of a gradual recovery of domestic production and tighter

PRICES
In 2021, the average market price for live pigs
went up by 26% and reached 110.8 RUB/kg, excl.
VAT. The year-on-year increase was due to the
epizootic situation in the pork market and a rise
in poultry prices on the back of avian influenza,
a shortage of hatchery eggs resulting from the
reduced supplies from Europe and growth in
exports (+11% year-on-year). The price escalation
was also influenced by the appreciation of
production facilities and fodder resources as
a result of the rising cost of cereals and meal.
In addition to the above, traditional seasonal
factors had a bearing on prices during the year.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Rusagro's Meat Business is represented by three vertically integrated
clusters: two clusters in Central Russia – in the Tambov and Belgorod
Regions, and one in the Russian Far East – in the Primorye Territory.
The cluster in the Primorye Territory was launched in 2021. Each
cluster comprises in-house breeding farms, livestock breeding
sites, a feed mill, a slaughterhouse and meat processing plant, and
aslaughterhouse refuse recycling plant.
LIVESTOCK BREEDING
Rusagro operates 23 commercial pig farms and
five herd breeding farms (the launch of two more
sites in Primorye Territory is scheduled for 2022).
In 2023, following completion of the remaining
two pig farms and full occupancy of all pig farms
in Primorye Territory, the Company's maximum
breeding sow herd size will be approximately 120 ths
sows. Depending on production figures, this size of
pig stock could produce around 390 ths tonnes of
live-weight pork for slaughter each year.
The Company's pig farms operate to international
standards and use the latest science and technology
in pig breeding and feeding. These pig farms are
modern highly-automated environmentally safe
production facilities, giving close attention to the
observance of biosecurity requirements and having a
manure removal and waste handling system in place.

Slaughtering and meat processing plants of
the Company cover all stages of processing
and production of finished goods: slaughter
line, deboning shop, chilled small and large cuts
shop, offal production shop, and slaughterhouse
refuse recycling shop. In 2021, the slaughtering
capacity was 680 heads per hour, including 130
heads per hour at the slaughterhouse in the
Primorye Territory, and 440 heads per hour at
the deboning shop (the launch of the deboning
shop in the Primorye Territory is scheduled for
2022)
1
. The main categories of products include
half-carcasses, large and small cuts, chilled
semi-finished products and offal. The Meat
Business has the Food Safety Management
System in place to drive out risks at all
production stages and adheres to the principle
of compliance with the Technical Regulation
on Meat Safety. All animals for slaughter come
from the Company's own pig farms.
The slaughterhouse refuse recycling shop
ensures deep processing of slaughter and
deboning waste. Blood is used to produce blood
meal; dead animal carcasses, scraps, bones and
rejected products are used to produce meat and
bone meal and fodder or technical fat. Some of
the products are formulated into feed, and some
are sold to other companies.
The livestock's feed requirements are fully
covered by the Company's three feed mills with
an annual production capacity of approximately
1.4 mn tonnes (+47% year-on-year), including
about 1 mn tonnes in Central Russia and 0.4
mn tonnes in the Primorye Territory. The mills
have granulated animal feed production lines in
place for all processing cycles. The production
technology laboratories offer chemical,
technical and bacteriological analyses with a
high degree of accuracy.
The storage capacity of the elevator in 2021
totalled 280 ths tonnes, including 120 ths
tonnes in the Primorye Territory. Moreover, the
Meat Business has grain crops storing sleeves
with a simultaneous storage capacity of 410
ths tonnes. With in-house storage facilities, the
Company can purchase ingredients at the most
optimal time during periods of low prices.

In 2021, Rusagro's investments in the Meat
Business totalled RUB 8.1 bn, down 8% against
the previous year. The bulk of the funds (88%)
were allocated to business development,
mostly related to the launch of the vertically
integrated cluster project in the Primorye
Territory. Rescheduling this project was the
main contributor to the Company's year-on-
year increase in capital expenditure in the Meat
Business.
The Company spent 12% of its budget to
support the current capacities of the Meat
Business. Funds were used to overhaul a
number of the sites, to restore the integrity of
the buildings and improve the safety of the
livestock against the outside environment at
production sites, as well as to replace the tractor
fleet to ensure timely and quality application
of the liquid fraction of manure and removal of
fallen animals.

LIVESTOCK FOR SLAUGHTER
IN 2021
In the reporting period, the size of the commercial slaughter livestock rose
by 2% (up 51 ths head) due to increased capacity and improved productivity
of the slaughterhouse by upgrading the butchers' skills and reducing
thedowntime. However, new outbreaks of COVID-19, delays in equipment
deliveries and a rescheduled launch of the deboning line in the Primorye
Territory resulted in a 3% reduction in the size of the deboned livestock
(down 50 ths heads).
Compound feed production in 2021 increased by 1% (up 9 ths tonnes) to 895
ths tonnes through the improved labour productivity. In order to enhance
the quality of its products, the Company re-equipped its production
laboratories and upgraded its equipment.
In 2021, Rusagro's commercial herds grew by 2% and totalled 2.6 mn
heads. Commercial pork production was 309 ths tonnes, 0.9 ths tonnes
(+0.3%) higher than in the previous year. Despite the high number
ofAfrican swine fever (ASF) outbreaks, the abnormal summer heat
and issues with the quality of feed ingredients, the Company managed
toachieve positive results. That was made possible by prompt measures
to prevent the introduction of the virus to the sites, increased livestock
security and the establishment of a fodder quality control department
with thehelp of international experts. Moreover, the reporting period
saw thelaunch ofaproject in the Primorye Territory, where the first 5 ths
tonnes oflivestock were produced, as well as the increased productivity
ofthemain herd at Central Russia's sites.

favourable pricing environment in the industrial customer channel.
As part of its retail market penetration strategy, Rusagro continued to

(Butcher's Word), in the Russian market despite rising market prices.
Sales of own-brand products went up by 16% and stood at 23 ths tonnes.

half-carcasses and the accomplishment of targets for the development of the half-finished products

In 2021, Rusagro increased its exports of
meat products by 19% to 37 ths tonnes (up 6
ths tonnes), representing 16% (+2 p.p.) of the
Company's meat products sales. The key driver
of this growth was a vastly improved customer
base in 2020, a rapid review of output products
and a reorientation of supplies between open
markets. Almost half of the exported volume
(46%) fell within the "large cuts and industrial
cuts" category, which experienced the largest
growth (46% (+5 ths tonnes) during the
reporting period. The remaining 38% and 16%
were exports of half-carcasses and by-products,

Rusagro accounts for 36% of deliveries to near-

for Rusagro's meat products are Ukraine
and Belarus – 47% and 32% of all exports,
respectively. Opening a representative office
in Vietnam helped to double its share over the
past year, from 8% to 16%. All three destinations
showed an increase in supplies, partly due to
lower exports to Hong Kong as a result of the
port closure.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The higher market prices for pork products
in 2021 increased Rusagro's meat segment
revenues by 22% and reached RUB 39.6 bn (up
RUB 7.2 bn). However, adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA) margin still dropped from 20% to
15% due to increased costs. Thus, expenditure
on feed ingredients, such as cereals and meal,
amino acids, vitamin and mineral supplements,
grew. The costs of the sites launched in 2021
in the Primorye Territory also had a large
bearing as the stage of their production cycle
had not yet allowed compensating for the
costs of raising livestock. As a result, adjusted
EBITDA showed a year-on-year decrease of 9%,
amounting to RUB 5.9 bn.

According to the Union of Russian Sugar Producers (Soyuzrossakhar),
sugar production for 2021 calendar year fell marginally (–2%), reaching 5.6
mn tonnes. The 1H production (in the 2020/2021 season) amounted to 0.4
mn tonnes, and the 2H production (in the 2021/2022 season) – to 5.2 mn
tonnes. About 0.3 mn tonnes more could be produced in 2022 before the
end of the 2021/2022 season.
The sugar output decline is attributable to decline of sugar content of sugar
beet to 17.3% (–2 p.p.) in 2021/2022 season, with concurrent increase in
beet processing volumes amid better crop results. Thus, in 2021 the plants
processed 37.7 mn tonnes of beet (+7% in 2020), and in the 2021/2022
season they processed 39.0 mn tonnes, which is 25% more than in the
previous season.
With annual sugar consumption at 5.8–6.0 mn tonnes in Russia, domestic
demand during the reporting period was covered by the 2020-end high
carry-overs (5.3 mn tonnes).

With a 15% share (+1.4 p.p.), Rusagro ranks third.
The variance in companies' share of total sugar

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
In 2021, white sugar exports from Russia fell by 62% (down 755 ths tonnes) and amounted to 454 ths
tonnes. Reduced domestic sugar output drove down supplies to near-abroad countries, in particular
year-on-year exports to CIS countries dropped by 65% (down 594 ths tonnes). Supplies to far-abroad
countries totalled 2 ths tonnes (down 84 ths tonnes), returning to pre-2020 levels.
Belarus, which has traditionally been the largest supplier, ramped down the sugar production and thus
their imports of white sugar to Russia continued the downward trend for the third consecutive year. In
2021, this figure dropped by 12% year-on-year and reached 158 ths tonnes.

The year-average price of sugar in Krasnodar in

positive price trend is due to the poor sugar beet
harvest in the last two seasons after a record
high harvest in the 2019/2020 season, which
led to prices falling to their lowest level in 10
years. The recovery in market prices were also
influenced by the dollar and rising global prices

ASSETS OVERVIEW
SUGAR PLANTS
In 2021, maximum sugar beets processing capacity of Rusagro’s plants
remained flat with the previous year – 53,850 tonnes of beets per day. The
maximum production capacity of the Company during the season time
(from August to July) is about 900 ths tonnes of beet sugar, excluding
sugar from molasses
1
.
Rusagro's sugar beet processing plants produce two main by-products –
pulp and molasses. The plants pelletise the pulp and sell it to third parties,
while the molasses is used for additional sugar production and betaine
production. The Company operates two desugarisation facilities at the
Znamensky and Chernyansky sugar plants, with a total processing capacity
of 310 ths tonnes of molasses per season. This enables the Company to
produce an additional 120 ths tonnes of sugar and 30 ths tonnes of betaine

The Company's product portfolio includes five sugar brands of different price brackets: Russkii Sakhar,
Chaikofsky, Brauni, Mon Café and Khoroshiy, as well as the Tyoplye Traditsii brand. Over years, the
Company lead the way in the consumer sugar market, and the Russkii Sakhar, Chaikofsky, Brauni and
Mon Cafe brands hold the first positions in their relevant segments. The Company's sugar brands are
also the most sought-after brands among Russian consumers – Russkii Sakhar and Chaikofsky brands
enjoy consistently high recognition and loyalty.
Due to the lack of new capital-intensive projects in 2021, Rusagro's
investments in development and maintenance of the Sugar Business
posted the negative growth (down 33% year-on-year) and amounted to
RUB 1.0 bn. About half (45%) of the investments in the reporting period
were allocated to maintain the existing facilities of the Sugar Business
– automation, replacement of equipment, reconstruction of production
facilities and augmentation of the operational reliability. The development
projects included final works on the desugarisation station in the Belgorod
Region and expansion of pulp granulation capacities.

AUTOMATION
AND INNOVATION
The strategic goal of Rusagro's Sugar
Business is to reduce sugar losses
in all sugar beet production cycles,
and Industry 4.0's best practices
andsolutions – from physical devices
to bio-engineering solutions – are
being used to achieve this goal. The
most active work is focused in three
key areas, which include raw material
management, production, and
storage and logistics of products.
Product innovations
In addition to technology-related projects, Rusagro's Sugar Business
is exploring innovative products as alternatives to traditional sugar.
In 2021, for example, the Company decided to launch long-term
projects in 2022 to produce a new generation of zero-glycaemic
index sweeteners to replace fructose and synthetic sweeteners
indiabetic and dietary products, and to produce sweet proteins from
micro-organisms for use in various food industries.

PRODUCTION
The beet processing volume in 2021 totalled 4.6 mn tonnes (+13%) and
in the 2021/2022 season – 4.7 mn tonnes (+27%). Similar to the last year,
75% of the beets were purchased from Rusagro's Agriculture Business. In
the reporting season, the plants worked for 74 to 131 days (74 to 100 days
in the 2020/2021 season), from 1 September 2020 to 16 January 2021.
The average sugar content of beets at a time of reception was 19.0% (not
including sugar recovered from molasses), down 1 p.p. against the previous
season figure.
For the last year, Rusagro produced 791 ths tonnes of sugar, +4% year-on-
year (up 27 ths tonnes). This figure includes 84 ths tonnes (–20%) of sugar
that was recovered from molasses processed of beets harvested in the
2020/2021 season, and 12 ths tonnes of sugar from sugar beets from tolling
arrangements. The total sugar output in the 2021/2022 season was 733
ths tonnes, +18% season-on-season (up 31 ths tonnes), excluding molasses
sugar.

SALES
In 2021, sugar sales amounted to 769 ths
tonnes, down 5% year-on-year (down 43 ths
tonnes). The negative growth was caused
bylower sugar carry-overs at the end of
2020 due to cut-back in sugar production as
compared to 2019. In addition to sugar, we sold
180 ths tonnes of pulp (–24%), 25 ths tonnes
of betaine (–7%) and 11 ths tonnes of cereals
(–40%). Thesales of pulp and betaine were
driven down by the decline in beet processing
volume in the 2020/2021 season. In the
reporting year, around 76% of all products sold
were in theB2B segment and 24% – in the B2C
segment.

Consumer segment
In 2021, 30% of sugar sales (+8 p.p.) fall on the consumer segment. Sugar
sales of the own branded products amounted to 146 ths tonnes, 4% below
the 2020 level. During the reporting period, Russkii Sakhar and Chaikofsky
brands retained theire leading positions in the Russian white cube sugar
market, while Brauni led the way in the brown cube sugar market.
According to AC Nielsen's survey for November 2021, the combined market
share of Rusagro's four sugar brands – Russkii Sakhar, Chaikofsky, Mon
Cafe and Khoroshiy – was 48% (+2 p.p.) on the cube white sugar market:
Russkii Sakhar gained 33% market share (+1 p.p.) and Chaikofsky – 14% (+3
p.p.). Brauni accounted for 28% (–1 p.p.) of the brown cube sugar market in
Russia.
According to Tiburon data, in 2021 Russkii Sakhar and Chaikofsky brands
again showed a high level of brand recognition – for Russkii Sakhar it was
86%, for Chaikofsky – it stood at 61%.

Exports
In 2021, Rusagro exported 202 ths tonnes of products, down 21% year-on-

supplies is pulp; its exports in the reporting period totalled 167 ths tonnes
(–18%). The top pulp purchasers were Ireland (51 ths tonnes, +283% year-
on-year), Norway (24 ths tonnes, –20%), and China (23 ths tonnes, –45%).
Exports of betaine amounted to 23 ths tonnes (–15%), including 9 ths
tonnes (+79%) destined for Belgium. Due to insignificant growth in Russian
sugar output in 2021, sugar exports almost halved in that period (–48%)
and reached 12 ths tonnes.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
In 2021, Rusagro's Sugar Segment revenues rose by 29% to RUB 36.4 bn
(up RUB 8.2 bn), despite declining sales volumes (–5%) on the back of lower
sugar production in the 2020/2021 season. As some of the sugar sold in
the reporting period was produced in the previous season with a lower
production cost, the growth rate of sugar sales revenue was higher than
the growth of sugar beet procurement costs. This resulted in an increase in
adjusted EBITDA margin by 2 p.p. to 25% and in adjusted EBITDA by 41% to
RUB 9.0 bn (up RUB 2.6 bn).

system affects its investment appeal, the confidence of the investment commu-
nity and its business reputation, and aims to continuously improve and compre-

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
AND ETHICS
A new version of 2014 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (hereinafter
– the Code) was approved in 2017. The Code encompasses as follows:
basic rules, principles and values of the Company and its employees;
standards of business and social conduct;
ethical standards for internal and external corporate relations;
principles of social commitment towards employees, shareholders, busi-
ness partners, the state and society.
The Code is modelled on generally accepted rules of corporate ethics and
business conduct, international laws and documents that define best
corporate governance practice. It is a valuable instrument for creating a
strong corporate culture and a well-defined system of corporate values that
determine and shape the Company’s reputation, its competitive perfor-
mance and effectiveness.
The Code applies to all Rusagro Group companies. Its provisions cover, and
apply to, members of the Board of Directors, senior executives, and all other
employees of the Company.
In addition to complying with the code, all employees must obey
international anti-corruption acts, such as:
The UK Bribery Act;
The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA);
The Company’s anti-corruption regulations and other current anti-
bribery laws that are applicable to the Company and its employees.
THE COMPANY’S CODE OF CONDUCT
FOR THE PREVENTION OF INSIDER TRADING
As a public company, Rusagro has extensive
responsibilities on establishing and observing a special
procedure for the disclosure of information that can
materially affect the value of the Company’s securities.
In 2011, the Company adopted, and since then has in place,
a Code of Conduct for the Prevention of Insider Trading
(Rev. 2) that applies to all of its employees and members
of the Board of Directors.
The Company uses the relevant global best practices to
ensure that all securities market participants have equal
access to sensitive information in an effort to prevent
misuse of insider information – information that could
affect the value of the Company's securities.
Other than understanding and observing the Company's
Code of Conduct for the Prevention of Insider Trading, the
employees must adhere to international acts on the use
and disclosure of insider information, such as:
Cyprus Market Abuse Law (2016);
Market Abuse Regulation EU directive (596/2014);
UK Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) (2000);
Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the UK
Financial Services Authority;
UK Criminal Justice Act (1993) and other applicable
laws and/or the improvement notices of the regulatory
authorities.
On 12 November 2021, the Company's Board of
Directors resolved to amend the Code of Conduct
for the Prevention of Insider Trading by reducing the
time frames to start the Annual Blackout period for
Securities transactions from 60 to 30 calendar days.
The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
is available on the Company's website
The Code of Conduct for the Prevention
of Insider is available

duct for the prevention of insider trading

practice, the Company communicates to the investment community in a
timely manner all information that could have a material effect on the value
of the Company's securities:

Storage Mechanism FCA, the Company released its reports in the
new iXBRL (iXBRL – Extensible Business Reporting Language)

The shareholders' right to participate in Rusagro's profits is exercised
through the dividend policy. In August 2013, the Meeting of Shareholders
approved the dividend policy providing for annual payments of at least
25% of the Company's net profit. In 2021, a decision was taken to raise
the minimum payment threshold to 50% of the Company's net profit.
Payment is made twice a year based on the financial results for the first
half and second half of the year. Securities owned by the Company do not
participate in the payment of dividends.
Rusagro's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on 17 April 2021 approved a
record dividend for 2020 set at USD 1.23 per GDR (USD 6.15 per share). The
total dividend payout amounted to USD 165.5 mn. This is equivalent to
RUB12.6 bn, or 50% of the Company's net profit for 2020.
Dividends for the first half of 2021 worth RUB 8.75 bn (USD 119.7 mn) were
paid on 14 September 2021. No securities held by the Company, which
amounted to 2,135,313 GDRs, were included in the dividend payment. As a
result, payments per GDR stood at USD 0.89 (USD 4.45 per share).

Risk
management
Rusagro devotes significant resources to identifying,
assessing and recognising risks in its business decision-
making process. The Company is committed to observing the
national and international standards in risk management: its
going concern is to monitor the risks and to update its risk
management toolkit in order to maximise the Company’s
value and reduce the risk impact severity. The Company
identifies seven main types of risks having the greatest
impact on the business performance. The 2020–2021
assessment also covered the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the Company's performance.
At the time of reporting, risks were being reassessed
and revised on the back of the dramatically changed
macroeconomic situation in March 2022.

Political risks
Changes in state policy relating to price control, as well as export-import and tax regulation
Changes in the state policy as pertaining to control over prices for
products sold by Rusagro, as well as to export-import and tax regu-
lation, could exert negative influence on the Company's performance.
Thus, touching the price ceiling and introducing tariffs and quotas
for the export of agro-food products impedes the ability to maximise
revenue, and higher taxes translate into lower net profit.
The Company monitors any changes in the state policy and re-
sponds accordingly, promptly re-tailoring Rusagro's strategy.
The Company takes a proactive position and negotiates with
government officials, whenever possible, the introduction of restric-
tive measures and their impact on business
Market risks
Reduction in product prices
The Company's financial performance is linked to price levels for sugar,
pork, agricultural crops, vegetable oils and products thereof. The price
level depends on a number of factors which the Company cannot
fully control. The key reasons for possible price reductions could be as
follows:
Higher competitive supply or competitive struggle;
Erosion in household purchasing power;
Slumping global prices.
Diversification of the Company’s product portfolio by extending the
product range and developing retail brands;
Development of the sales channels, contracting with major
industrial partners and retail chains;
Development of export sales and expansion into new markets;
Maintenance of ample stocks of finished products intended for sale
during seasonal price hikes;
Continuous monitoring of the market situation to obtain a true and
fair view of the prevailing trends and to ensure a sound basis for
forecasting the market developments
Operational risks
Reduced revenues as a result of lower yields due to climate change and weather anomalies
Extreme weather such as drought, frost, excessive moisture, strong
winds, hail, damping-off may lead to reduced yield, which affects the
revenue of the Agriculture, Meat, Sugar, and Oil and Fats Businesses.
An integrated approach to weather forecasting based on weather
station data.
Monitoring of the crops on a regular basis;
Digitalisation of strategic planning and operational processes in the
Agriculture Business;
Automation of the optimal scheduling of sugar beet digging, piling
and delivery, as well as harvesting and exporting of grains and
pulses;
Automated quality control of handling operations;
Development of sprinkling and irrigation systems;
Climate-driven selection

Description Management
Animal and plant diseases
Climatic changes and evolution cause new dangerous diseases of the
livestock and plants to emerge that can adversely affect the produc-
tion results of the Agriculture, Sugar, Meat Businesses of the Company.
The most hazardous diseases are sugar beet diseases, pests, highly
dangerous virus and infectious diseases of pigs, such as ASF, por-
cine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, swine foot-and-mouth
disease, and atypical pneumonia.
Transport and inventory flow control and decontamination;
Prevention of physical contact of farm-bred pigs with wild animals;
Health monitoring of pigs reared at the Company's production
facilities;
Monitoring of ASF disease incidents in Russia;
Pest control by treating plants and seeds with insecticides and
fungicides
Epidemics and pandemics
The occurrence of epidemics and pandemics in Russia (in particular
COVID-19) could have a negative impact on the Company's profits as
a result of restrictions on the business activities of the Company and
its counterparties. In particular, there are risks of plant shutdowns,
loss of productivity when switching to work from home, delays in the
execution and implementation of commercial contracts, freezing of
construction and repair jobs.
Establishment of a prompt response headquarters to develop an-
ti-crisis measures and monitor their implementation;
Restricted movements of employees between the Company's offices
and production sites, as well as less travel to other regions and
countries;
Distribution of additional personal protective equipment and anti-
septics, additional disinfection measures;
Comprehensive communication programme to keep employees
informed, launch of dedicated hotlines for employees;
Support for employees to carry out regular testing and vaccinations
Process-related errors
Human errors in the planning and implementation of technological
operations can have negative consequences on production results and
production costs. Agronomic errors are detrimental to the results of
the Agriculture and Sugar Businesses, and poor technology at a meat
processing plants – to the the results of the Meat Business.
Monitoring and better management of the personnel, including
through the development of effective motivation systems;
Development of standards, regulations and instructions for the im-
plementation of process-related operations and their enforcement;
Automation and digitalisation of planning processes, management
of production activities
Losses due to higher cost of meat business project in the Primorye Territory and its delayed launch
The risk of higher costs for a pig farming project in the Primorye Terri-
tory is associated with the remoteness of the construction region from
industrial centres, the lack of qualified engineering and labour person-
nel in the region and weather conditions. This can lead to higher costs
and longer delivery times for construction materials, cash flow gaps
due to failure to submit supporting construction documents on time,
and additional costs to deal with excessive rainfall and the effects of
typhoons.
The Company scheduled and is currently implementing the
measures to protect its areas against natural phenomena common
for the Primorye Territory, including the construction of additional
surface water collection and drainage systems;
The construction contracted large-scale companies with their own
logistics network both in Russia and abroad, in-house engineering
and operation personnel. This increases the cost of project imple-
mentation, but mitigates the risk of longer timelines

protection agents. The Group also returns packaging from crop protection agents and fertilizer to
counterparties and performs soil deacidification efforts on farmland.

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT
Dividends
Pursuant to its Articles of Association the Company may pay dividends out of its profits. In August 2013 the
Board of Directors has approved a new dividend policy with payout ratio of at least 25% of the Group’s
profit for the year applicable starting from the year ended 31 December 2013. On 13 September 2021 the
Board of Directors has approved a new dividend policy with increased payout ratio to at least 50% of the
Group’s profit for the year. To the extent that the Company declares and pays dividends, owners of Global
Depositary Receipts (hereafter also referred as “GDRs”) on the relevant record date will be entitled to
receive dividends payable in respect of Ordinary Shares underlying the GDRs, subject to the terms of the
Deposit Agreement.
The Company is a holding company and thus its ability to pay dividends depends on the ability of its
subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company in accordance with the relevant legislation and contractual
restrictions. The payment of such dividends by its subsidiaries is contingent upon the sufficiency of their
earnings, cash flows and distributable reserves. The maximum dividend payable by the Company`s
subsidiaries is restricted to the total accumulated retained earnings of the relevant subsidiary, determined
according to the Russian law.
In 2021 the Company distributed RR 10,770,584 thousand of remaining dividends for 2020 and
RR 8,755,947 thousand of interim dividends for 2021. The remaining dividends for 2020 amounted to
RR 400.30 per share and interim dividends for 2021 amounted to RR 325.42 per share.
Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2021, the Board of Directors recommends the payment of
additional dividends out of the profits for 2021 in the amount of RR 11,928,542 thousand. Given that the
Company has already paid interim dividends for the 2021 in the amount of RR 8,755,947 thousand, the
total dividend out of the profits for 2021 and prior years' undistributed reserves amounts to RR 20,684,489
thousand.
The proposed dividend is subject to approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. These
consolidated financial statements do not reflect the dividends that have not been approved on the reporting
date.
Share capital
There were no changes in the share capital of the Company during 2020 and 2021.

INDEPENDENT AUDIТORS' REPORT ТО ТНЕ MEMBERS
OF
ROSAGROPLC
Report оп the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ROS AGRO
PLC (the "Company') and its subsidiaries (the "Group'), which are presented on pages
1 to 68 and comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December
2021, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including а summary of significant accounting
policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give а true and fair
view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and
of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
Ьу the European Union (''IFRS-EU') and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies
Law, Сар. 113, as amended from time to time (the "Companies Law, Сар.113').
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs").
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ''Auditors'
responsibllities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our
report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of
Ethics (Including lnternational Independence Standards) for Professional Accountants of
the lnternational Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (''IESBA Code') together with
the ethical requirements in Cyprus that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibllities in accordance with
these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide а basis for our opinion.

Кеу audit matters
Кеу audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as а whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide а separate opinion on these matters.
Assessment of fair value of investment in 1,1,С GK Agro - Belogorie
Please refer to the Note 10 in the financial statements.
The key audit matter
This issue has become а key focus area
for our audit due to the significance of the
amounts and the subjective nature of the
valuation of investment in LLC GK Agro
Belogorie.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We involved our own valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the
assumptions and methodologies used Ьу the Company.
Among others, our audit procedures included:
At 31 December 2021, the carrying
amount of investment in LLC GK Agro
-
-
Belogorie at fair value through other
comprehensive income amounted to RUB
-
8 556 556 thousand.
evaluating the principles and the integrity of the Company's
discounted cash flow model
assessing the reasonaЫeness of the Company's assumptions
including projected ЕВIТDА margins and discount rates
assessing the accuracy of the Company's historic financial
information to support evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the
The fair value of this investment was
measured using а discounted cash flow
model based prirnarily on unobservaЫe
inputs and involving significant
management judgment.
discounted cash flow model
We also considered the adequacy of the Company's disclosures with
regard to fair value measurement of this investment.
Acquisition of Assets frorn Solnechnye producty
Please refer to the Note 4 and Note 15 in the financial statements.
The key audit matter
During 2018, the Group entered into а
transaction involving the acquisition of
secured deЬt from а third
-
party group of
companies Solnechnye Producty
(SolPro), which were classified as short
term and long-term investments and
initially recognized at fair value.
During 2021 the Group purchased assets
of SolPro in the amount of RUB 28 202
943 thousand and recognised а reversal of
expected credit loss allowance for the
loans receivaЫe from SolPro in the
amount of RUB 4 804 688 thousand due
to settlement of the debts in the excess of
the carrying amount recognised.
At 31 December 2021, the carrying
amount of investment
ш SolPro
recognised at amortised cost amounted to
RUB 1591 805 thousand
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We assessed whether the assets acquired Ьу the Group from SolPro meet
definition of business under IFRS 3 Ьу analysing whether elements of
definition of the business are present.
We assessed whether the Group might have obtained control over SolPro
assets before acquisition of those assets Ьу analysing the rights of the
Group as the main creditor over the relevant activities of SolPro during
the bankruptcy process.
We also considered the adequacy of the Group's disclosures with regard
to this transaction.
Given the overall complexity of the
transaction and the judgements applied in
this calculation we consider this to Ье а
key audit matter.
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsiЫe for the other information. The other information comprises the
consolidated management report, which we oЬtained prior to the date of this report, and the Company's Annual
Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon, which is expected to
Ье made availaЫe to us after that date.
Ош opinion оп the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as required Ьу the Companies Law, Сар.113.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsiЬility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to Ье materially
misstated. If, based оп the work we have performed, we conclude that there is а material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report thatfact.
With regards to the consolidated management report, our report in this regard is presented in the
"Report оп
other Legal requirements"
section.
When we read the Company's Annual Report, if we conclude that there is а material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and if not corrected, we will bring
the matter to the attention of the members of the Company at the Company's Annual General Meeting and we
will take such other action as may Ье required.
Responsibllities of the Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial
statements
The Board of Directors is responsiЫe for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give а true
and fair view in accordance with IFRS-EU and the requirements of the Companies Law, Сар. 113, and for such
internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to еnаЫе the preparation of consolidated
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsiЫe for assessing the
Group's aЬility to continue as а going concern, disclosing, as applicaЫe, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to either liquidate the
Group or to cease
operations, or there is по realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors and those charged with governance are responsiЫe for overseeing the Group's financial
reporting process.

Auditors'
responsiЬilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonaЫe assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as а whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes
our opinion. ReasonaЫe assurance is а high level of assurance but is not а guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs will always detect а material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements сап arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonaЫy Ье expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide а basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
а material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonaЫeness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made Ьу the Board ofDirectors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence oЬtained, whether а material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's aЬility to continue as а going concern. If we
conclude that а material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to
the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence oЬtained up to the date of our
auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as а
going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation,
structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in а manner that achieves а true and fairview.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities of the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsiЫe for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsiЫe for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
Report оп other legal requirements
Pursuaпt to the additioпal requirements of the Auditors Law 2017, L.53(1)/2017, as amended from time to time
("Law L.53(1)/2017'), and based оп the work undertaken in the course of our audit, we report the following:
In our opinion, the consolidated management report, the preparation of which is the responsibility of
the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law,
Сар 113, and the information given is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the business and the Group's environment oЬtained
in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the consolidated management
report.
Other Matters
Reporting responsibilities
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as а body in
accordance with Sectioп 69 of Law L.53(1)/2017 and for по other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion,
accept or assume responsibllity for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report
may
соте to.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
(IN THOUSANDS OF RUSSIAN ROUBLES, UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE)
1. Background (continued)
Russian Federation. The Russian Federation displays certain characteristics of an emerging market. Its
economy is particularly sensitive to oil and gas prices. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue
to develop and are subject to frequent changes and varying interpretations (Note 31) which contribute
together with other legal and fiscal impediments to the challenges faced by entities operating in the Russian
Federation. The Russian economy continues to be negatively impacted by ongoing political tension in the
region and international sanctions against certain Russian companies and individuals.
Starting in 2014, the United States of America, the European Union and some other countries have imposed
and gradually expanded economic sanctions against a number of Russian individuals and legal entities.
The imposition of the sanctions has led to increased economic uncertainty, including more volatile equity
markets, a depreciation of the Russian rouble, a reduction in both local and foreign direct investment inflows
and a significant tightening in the availability of credit. As a result, some Russian entities may experience
difficulties accessing the international equity and debt markets and may become increasingly dependent
on state support for their operations. The longer-term effects of the imposed and possible additional
sanctions are difficult to determine.
In February 2022, following the recognition of self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk and the
commencement of military operations in Ukraine by the Russian Federation, additional sanctions were
introduced by the United States of America, the European Union and some other countries against Russia.
Moreover, there is an increased risk that even further sanctions may be introduced. This may have
significant adverse impact on Russia’s economy. These events have led to depreciation of the Russian
rouble, increased volatility of financial markets and significantly increased the level of economic uncertainty
in the Russian business environment. Also, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has continued to create
additional uncertainty in the business environment. Management is taking necessary measures to ensure
sustainability of the Group’s operations and support its customers and employees. However, the future
effects of the current economic situation and the above measures are difficult to predict, and management’s
current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic had no significant impact on business activity, the Group is taking actions
to reduce COVID-19 exposure and support its personnel. The specifics of the Group's business does not
allow transferring all personnel to distance work. However, the Group did utmost to increase the share of
employees handling their duties remotely. All employees were provided with personal protective equipment
and antiseptics, and all surfaces and common areas at offices and enterprises were given additional
disinfection. Maintaining business processes and additional focusing on occupational safety helped the
Group to demonstrate strong operating and financial results in 2021.
The consolidated financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact of the Russian
business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business
environment may differ from management’s assessment.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus
Companies Law, Cap.113. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, as modified by the initial recognition of financial instruments based on fair value, financial
instruments categorized at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive
income, biological assets that are presented at fair value less point-of-sale costs and agricultural produce
which is measured at fair value less point-of-sale costs at the point of harvest. The Group entities registered
in Russia keep their accounting records in Russian Roubles in accordance with Russian accounting
regulations (RAR). These consolidated financial statements significantly differ from the financial statements
prepared for statutory purposes under RAR in that they reflect certain adjustments, which are necessary to
present the Group’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance
with IFRS as adopted by the EU.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are
set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise
stated.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the EU requires
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in
the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement

2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are disclosed below in Note 2.2.
2.2 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated
financial statements and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the
process of applying the accounting policies. Judgements that have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and estimates that can cause a significant
adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The estimation of the useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment is a matter of judgement based
on the experience with similar assets. The future economic benefits embodied in the assets are consumed
principally through use. However, other factors, such as technical or commercial obsolescence and wear
and tear, often result in the diminution of the economic benefits embodied in the assets. Management
assesses the remaining useful lives in accordance with the current technical conditions of the assets and
estimated period during which the assets are expected to earn benefits for the Group. The following primary
factors are considered: (a) expected usage of the assets; (b) expected physical wear and tear, which
depends on operational factors and maintenance programme; and (c) technical or commercial
obsolescence arising from changes in market conditions.
Were the estimated useful lives to differ by 10% from management’s estimates, the impact on depreciation
for the year ended 31 December 2021 would be to increase it by RR 1,201,860 or decrease it by
RR 1,468,940 (2020: increase by RR 894,928 or decrease by RR 1,093,800).
Fair value of livestock and agricultural produce
The fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs of livestock at the end of each reporting period is
determined using the physiological characteristics of the animals, management expectations concerning
the potential productivity and market prices of animals with similar characteristics. The fair value of the
Group’s bearer livestock is determined by using valuation techniques, as there were no observable market
prices near the reporting date for pigs and cows of the same physical conditions, such as weight and age.
The fair value of the bearer livestock was determined based on the expected quantity of remaining farrows
and calves for pigs and cows, respectively, and the market prices of the young animals. The fair value of
mature animals is determined based on the expected cash flow from the sale of the animals at the end of
the production usage. The cash flow was calculated based on the actual prices of sales of culled animals
from the Group’s entities to independent processing enterprises taking place near the reporting date, and
the expected weight of the animals. Future cash flows were discounted to the reporting date at a current
market-determined pre-tax rate. In the fair value calculation of the immature animals of bearer livestock
management considered the expected culling rate.

* Cows were bred for the purpose of production of milk and in 2021 were sold to external party.
The fair value of consumable livestock (pigs) is determined based on the market prices multiplied by
the livestock weight at the end of each reporting period, adjusted for the expected culling rates.
The average market price of consumable pigs being the key input used in the fair value measurement was
101.7 Russian Roubles per kilogram, excluding VAT, as at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020:
88.7 Russian Roubles per kilogram, excluding VAT).
Should the market prices used in determination of fair value of consumable livestock have been 10%
higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the fair value of the consumable livestock
as at 31 December 2021 would be higher/lower by RR 583,222 (31 December 2020: RR 465,891).
The fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs for agricultural produce at the time of harvesting was
calculated based on quantities of crops harvested and the prices on deals that took place in the region
of location on or about the moment of harvesting and was adjusted for estimated point-of-sale costs
at the time of harvesting.
The average market prices (Russian Roubles/tonne, excluding VAT) used for fair value measurement
of harvested crops were as follows:

Sugar beet 3,677

Wheat 12,907

Should the market prices used in determination of fair value of harvested crops have been 10% higher/lower
with all other variables held constant, the fair value of the crops harvested in 2021 would be higher/lower
by RR 4,041,059 (2020: RR 3,237,356).
The fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs for unharvested crops as at 31 December 2021 was
calculated based on expected yield, degree of readiness for each crop and the forward market prices. As
at 31 December 2020 unharvested crops were carried at the accumulated costs incurred, which
approximated the fair value.

Winter wheat 13,001
Winter rapeseed 45,568
Should the forward market prices used in determination of fair value of growing crops have been 10%
higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the fair value of the crops as of 31 December 2021 would
be higher/lower by RR 181,700.
Fair value of investment in LLC GK Agro-Belogorie
Key inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of investment in LLC GK Agro-Belogorie
are disclosed in Note 10 and Note 30. Change in fair value of investment in LLC GK Agro-Belogorie is
accounted within Fair value reserve line of Statement of financial position.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating
units (“CGUs”) have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the
use of estimates as further detailed in Note 25.
D
eferred income tax asset recognition
The recognised deferred income tax asset represents income taxes recoverable through future deductions
from taxable profits and is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. Deferred income tax
assets are recorded to the extent that realisation of the related tax benefit is probable and in relation to
losses carried forward it is also based on management judgement about deductibility of expenses included
in the related profit tax base. The future taxable profits and the amount of tax benefits that are probable in
the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management and extrapolated results
thereafter. The business plan is based on management expectations that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The key assumptions in the business plan are EBITDA margin and pre-tax
discount rate (Notes 25, 26).
Tax legislation
Russian tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations (Note 31).
Assessment of existence of control over the Group of companies Solnechnye producty
Management assessed the existence of control over Group of companies Solnechnye producty (hereinafter
“Solnechnye producty”) in terms of control criteria set out in IFRS 10. The Group’s rights in relation to
Solnechnye producty being in the stage of bankruptcy are by nature protective and do not result in power
over investee. Additionally, the Group has no ability to exercise its rights in order to influence variable
returns from Solnechnye producty, meaning that at least two essential control existence criteria are not
met. Thus, management of the Group believes that control over Solnechnye producty does not exist.
Estimated credit loss measurement of loans issued to Solnechnye producty
Key inputs and assumptions used in the estimated credit loss measurement of loans issued to Solnechnye
producty are disclosed in Note 15.
Depreciation of right-of-use assets
Extension and termination options. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and
circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a

termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease
term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). For leases of buildings,
machinery, equipment and vehicles, the following factors are normally the most relevant:
If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain
to extend (or not terminate) the lease.
If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is
typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate) the lease.
Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including historical lease durations and the costs and
business disruption required to replace the leased asset.
As for the land leases historical lease durations were used in determining the terms of right-of-use assets
depreciation. Based on the management assessment and previous experience, lease term was set as
10 years as a minimum for the contracts with prolongation option.
Discount rates used for determination of lease liabilities
The Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as a base for calculation of the discount rate because the
interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is
the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value
to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, collateral and conditions.
10% increase in discount rate at 31 December 2021 would result in a decrease in lease liabilities of
RR 271,024 (31 December 2020: RR 253,307). 10% decrease in discount rate at 31 December 2021 would
result in an increase in lease liabilities of RR 299,321 (31 December 2020: RR 283,833).
2.3 Foreign currency and translation methodology
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Group’s consolidated entities is the Russian Rouble (RR), which is
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The Russian Rouble has
been chosen as the presentation currency for these consolidated financial statements.
Translation of foreign currency items into functional currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Russian Roubles at the official exchange rate
of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBRF) at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into
the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting
from the settlement of the transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities at year-
end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within ‘finance income or
costs’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income within ‘Other operating income/(expenses), net’. Translation at year-
end rates does not apply to non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost. Non-monetary items
measured at fair value in a foreign currency, including equity investments, are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Effects of exchange rate changes on non-
monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are recorded as part of the fair value gain or
loss.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Group accounting
Consolidation
Subsidiaries are those investees, including structured entities, that the Group controls because the Group
(i) has power to direct relevant activities of the investees that significantly affect their returns, (ii) has
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investees, and (iii) has the ability to
use its power over the investees to affect the amount of investor’s returns. The existence and effect of
substantive rights, including substantive potential voting rights, are considered when assessing whether
the Group has power over another entity. For a right to be substantive, the holder must have practical ability
to exercise that right when decisions about the direction of the relevant activities of the investee need to be
made. The Group may have power over an investee even when it holds less than majority of voting power
in an investee. In such a case, the Group assesses the size of its voting rights relative to the size
and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders to determine if it has de-facto power over the investee.
Protective rights of other investors, such as those that relate to fundamental changes of investee’s activities
or apply only in exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from controlling an investee.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group (acquisition date)
and are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries other than those
acquired from parties under common control. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date,
irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The Group measures non-controlling interest on a
transaction by transaction basis, either at: (a) fair value, or (b) the non-controlling interest's proportionate
share of net assets of the acquiree.
Goodwill is measured by deducting the fair value of net assets of the acquiree from the aggregate
of the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquiree, the amount of non-controlling interest
in the acquiree and fair value of an interest in the acquiree held immediately before the acquisition date.
Any negative amount (“negative goodwill, bargain purchase”) is recognised in profit or loss, after
management reassesses whether it identified all the assets acquired and all liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed and reviews appropriateness of their measurement. The consideration transferred for
the acquiree is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities
incurred or assumed, including fair value of assets or liabilities from contingent consideration arrangements
but excludes acquisition related costs such as advisory, legal, valuation and similar professional services.
Transaction costs related to the acquisition and incurred for issuing equity instruments are deducted from
equity; transaction costs incurred for issuing debt as part of the business combination are deducted from
the carrying amount of the debt and all other transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered. The Company
and all of its subsidiaries use uniform accounting policies consistent with the Group’s policies.
Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests
which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. Non-controlling interest forms a separate
component of the Group’s equity.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence (directly or indirectly), but not control,
generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights. Investments in
associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost,
and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of changes in net
asset of investee after the date of acquisition. Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying value
of the investment in associates. Other post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of an
associate are recognised as follows: (i) the Group’s share of profits or losses of associates is recorded

in the consolidated profit or loss for the year as the share of results of associates, (ii) the Group’s share of
other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented separately,
(iii) all other changes in the Group’s share of the carrying value of net assets of associates are recognised
in profit or loss within the share of results of associates.
However, when the Group’s share of losses in an associate is equal or exceeds its interest in the associate,
including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent
of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Purchases of non-controlling interest
The Group applies the economic entity model to account for transactions with owners of non-controlling
interest. The difference, if any, between the carrying amount of a non-controlling interest acquired and the
purchase consideration is recorded as capital transaction in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
Purchases of subsidiaries from parties under common control
Business combinations involving entities under common control (ultimately controlled by the same party,
before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory) are accounted for using
the predecessor basis of accounting. Under this method the consolidated financial statements
of the acquiree are included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the earliest
period presented or, if later, the date when common control was established. The assets and liabilities of
the subsidiary transferred under common control are accounted for at the predecessor entity’s IFRS
carrying amounts using uniform accounting policies on the assumption that the Group was in existence
from the date when common control was established. Any difference between the carrying amount of net
assets, including the predecessor entity's goodwill, and the consideration for the acquisition is accounted
for in these consolidated financial statements as an adjustment to retained earnings within equity.
Disposals of subsidiaries and associates
When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is
remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised
in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for
the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity, are accounted for as if the Group had
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate
share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss
where appropriate.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for
impairment, if any.
Assets under construction are accounted for at purchase cost less provision for impairment, if required.
Costs of minor repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Cost of replacing a major part or
component of property, plant and equipment items is capitalized and the replaced part is retired.
Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds
with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit or loss for the year within other operating

income and expenses.
2.6 Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment other than land and assets under construction is calculated
using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to the residual values over their estimated useful lives:
Asset category
Useful life, years
Buildings
15
-
50
Constructions
5
-
50
Machinery, vehicles and equipment
2
-
20
Other
4
-
6
Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the month following the date they are ready for use.
The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain
from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in
the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The residual value of an asset is nil if the Group expects
to use the asset until the end of its physical life. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed,
and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
2.7 Biological assets and agricultural produce
Biological assets of the Group consist of unharvested crops (grain crops, sugar beets and other plant crops)
and pigs livestock.
Livestock is measured at their fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs. Fair value at initial recognition
is assumed to be approximated by the purchase price incurred. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that
would be necessary to sell the assets. All the gains or losses arising from initial recognition of biological
assets and from changes in fair-value-less-cost-to-sell of biological assets less the amounts of these gains
or losses related to the realised biological assets are included in a separate line “Net gain/ (loss)
on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce” above the gross profit line.
At the year-end unharvested crops are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs. A gain
or loss from the changes in the fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs of unharvested crops less the
amount of such gain or loss related to the realisation of agricultural products is included as a separate line
“Net gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce" above the gross profit line.
Upon harvest, grain crops, sugar beets and other plant crops are included into inventory for further
processing or for sale and are initially measured at their fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at the
time of harvesting. A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of agricultural produce at fair value less
estimated point-of-sale costs of unharvested crops less the amount of such gain or loss related to the
realisation of agricultural products is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Bearer livestock is classified as non-current assets; consumable livestock and unharvested crops are
classified as current assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.
2.8 Goodwill
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial
position. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Group tests goodwill
for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill
is allocated to the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the business combination. Such units or groups of units represent the lowest level at
which the Group monitors goodwill and are not larger than an operating segment. Gains or losses on
disposal of an operation within a cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated include the
carrying amount of goodwill associated with the operation disposed of, generally measured on the basis of
the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit which is retained.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Intangible assets
The Group’s intangible assets other than goodwill have definite useful lives and primarily include capitalised
computer software, patents, trademarks and licences. Acquired computer software licences, patents and
trademarks are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring them to use.
Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives:
Asset category
Useful life, years
Trademarks 5-12
Software licences 1-3
Capitalised internal software development costs 3-5
Other licences 1-3
If impaired, the carrying amount of intangible assets is written down to the higher of value in use and fair
value less costs to sell.
2.10 Impairment of non-current assets
The Group’s non-current assets except for deferred income tax, biological assets and financial assets are
tested for impairment in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. The Group makes
an assessment whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at each reporting date, except
for goodwill which is tested at least annually regardless of whether there are any indications
of impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made.
IAS 36 requires an impairment loss to be recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs
to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to
arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its life.
2.11 Financial instruments
Financial instruments – key measurement terms
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The best evidence of fair value is the
price in an active market. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability take place
with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is measured as the product of the quoted price
for the individual asset or liability and the number of instruments held by the entity. This is the case even if
a market’s normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held and placing orders to
sell the position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.
Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models or models based on recent arm’s length
transactions or consideration of financial data of the investees are used to measure fair value of certain
financial instruments for which external market pricing information is not available. Fair value
measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements
at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements
are valuations techniques with all material inputs observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is,
as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three measurements are valuations not
based on solely observable market data (that is, the measurement requires significant unobservable
inputs). Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the end of the
reporting period.
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of
a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had
not taken place. Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents (including employees
acting as selling agents), advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities
exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts,
financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.11 Financial instruments (continued)
Amortised cost (“AC”) is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition
less any principal repayments, plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any allowance for
expected credit losses (“ECL”). Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs deferred at initial
recognition and of any premium or discount to the maturity amount using the effective interest method.
Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and amortised
discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are
included in the carrying values of the related items in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The effective interest method is a method of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant
period, so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest (effective interest rate) on the carrying amount.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
(excluding future credit losses) through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, if
appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial instrument. The effective interest rate discounts
cash flows of variable interest instruments to the next interest repricing date, except for the premium or
discount which reflects the credit spread over the floating rate specified in the instrument, or other variables
that are not reset to market rates. Such premiums or discounts are amortised over the whole expected life
of the instrument. The present value calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the
contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. For assets that are purchased or originated
credit impaired (“POCI”) at initial recognition, the effective interest rate is adjusted for credit risk, i.e. it is
calculated based on the expected cash flows on initial recognition instead of contractual payments.
Initial recognition and measurement of financial instruments
A financial instrument is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. Fair value
at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only
recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other
observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs
include only data from observable markets. After the initial recognition, an expected credit loss allowance
is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost, resulting in an immediate accounting loss.
All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the time frame established by
regulation or market convention (“regular way” purchases and sales) are recorded at trade date, which is
the date on which the Group commits to deliver a financial asset. All other purchases are recognised when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – measurement categories
The Group classifies financial assets in the following measurement categories: fair value through profit and
loss, fair value through other comprehensive income and amortised cost. The classification and subsequent
measurement of debt financial assets depends on: (i) the Group’s business model for managing the related
assets portfolio and (ii) the cash flow characteristics of the asset. Equity investments at fair value through
other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income
in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other
net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or
loss.
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – business model
The business model reflects how the Group manages the assets in order to generate cash flows – whether
the Group’s objective is: (i) solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets (“hold to collect
contractual cash flows”,) or (ii) to collect both the contractual cash flows and the cash flows arising from the
sale of assets (“hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell”) or, if neither of (i) and (ii) is applicable, the
financial assets are classified as part of “other” business model and measured at fair value through profit
and loss.
Business model is determined for a group of assets (on a portfolio level) based on all relevant evidence
about the activities that the Group undertakes to achieve the objective set out for the portfolio available at
the date of the assessment. Factors considered by the Group in determining the business model include
the purpose and composition of a portfolio, past experience on how the cash flows for the respective assets
were collected, how risks are assessed and managed, how the assets’ performance is assessed and how
managers are compensated.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.11 Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets – classification and subsequent measurement – cash flow characteristics
Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to hold contractual cash
flows and sell, the Group assesses whether the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI). Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when
determining whether their cash flows are consistent with the SPPI feature. In making this assessment, the
Group considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e.
interest includes only consideration for credit risk, time value of money, other basic lending risks and profit
margin.
Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that is inconsistent with a basic lending
arrangement, the financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss. The SPPI
assessment is performed on initial recognition of an asset and it is not subsequently reassessed.
All financial instruments except those that are measured at fair value meet the SPPI criteria and are
recognised at amortised cost. The Group has some instruments that meet SPPI and are held for trading
and to collect,those that are recognised at fair value through profit and loss and at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Financial assets – reclassification
Financial instruments are reclassified only when the business model for managing the portfolio as a whole
changes. The reclassification has a prospective effect and takes place from the beginning of the first
reporting period that follows after the change in the business model.
Financial assets impairment – credit loss allowance for expected credit loss
The Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss for debt instruments measured
at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income and for the exposures arising from
loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, for contract assets. The Group measures expected
credit loss and recognises Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets at each reporting date.
The measurement of expected credit loss reflects: (i) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is
determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, (ii) time value of money and (iii) all reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period
about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.11 Financial instruments (continued)
Debt instruments measured at amortised cost and contract assets are presented in the consolidated
statement of financial position net of the allowance for expected credit loss. For loan commitments and
financial guarantees, a separate provision for expected credit loss is recognised as a liability in the
consolidated statement of financial position. For debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive
income, changes in amortised cost, net of allowance for expected credit loss, are recognised in profit or
loss and other changes in carrying value are recognised in other comprehensive income as gains less
losses on debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group applies a three-stage model for impairment, based on changes in credit quality since initial
recognition. A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1.
Financial assets in Stage 1 have their expected credit loss measured at an amount equal to the portion of
lifetime expected credit loss that results from default events possible within the next 12 months or until
contractual maturity, if shorter. If the Group identifies a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, the asset is transferred to Stage 2 and its expected credit loss is measured based on expected
credit loss on a lifetime basis, that is, up until contractual maturity but considering expected prepayments,
if any. Refer to Note 30 for a description of how the Group determines when a significant increase in credit
risk has occurred. If the Group determines that a financial asset is credit-impaired, the asset is transferred
to Stage 3 and its expected credit loss is measured as a Lifetime expected credit loss. The Group’s
definition of credit impaired assets and definition of default is explained in Note 30. For financial assets that
are purchased or originated credit-impaired, the expected credit loss is always measured as a Lifetime
expected credit loss. Note 30 provides information about inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques
used in measuring expected credit loss, including an explanation of how the Group incorporates forward-
looking information in the expected credit loss models.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade and other receivables.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables have been grouped based on shared
credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 month before each
balance sheet date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The
historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic
factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP
and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant
factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.
Financial assets write-off. Financial assets are written-off, in whole or in part, when the Group
exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of
recovery. The write-off represents a derecognition event. The Group may write-off financial assets that are
still subject to enforcement activity when the Group seeks to recover amounts that are contractually due,
however, there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Financial assets – derecognition
The Group derecognises financial assets when (a) the assets are redeemed or the rights to cash flows from
the assets otherwise expire or (b) the Group has transferred the rights to the cash flows from the financial
assets or entered into a qualifying pass-through arrangement whilst (i) also transferring substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the assets or (ii) neither transferring nor retaining substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership but not retaining control.
Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to
an unrelated third party without needing to impose additional restrictions on the sale.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.11 Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets – modification. The Group sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual
terms of the financial assets. The Group assesses whether the modification of contractual cash flows is
substantial considering, among other, the following factors: any new contractual terms that substantially
affect the risk profile of the asset, significant change in interest rate, change in the currency denomination,
new collateral or credit enhancement that significantly affects the credit risk associated with the asset or a
significant extension of a loan when the borrower is not in financial difficulties.
If the modified terms are substantially different, the rights to cash flows from the original asset expire and
the Group derecognises the original financial asset and recognises a new asset at its fair value. The date
of renegotiation is considered to be the date of initial recognition for subsequent impairment calculation
purposes, including determining whether a SICR has occurred. The Group also assesses whether the new
loan or debt instrument meets the SPPI criterion. Any difference between the carrying amount of the original
asset derecognised and fair value of the new substantially modified asset is recognised in profit or loss,
unless the substance of the difference is attributed to a capital transaction with owners.
In a situation where the renegotiation was driven by financial difficulties of the counterparty and inability to
make the originally agreed payments, the Group compares the original and revised expected cash flows to
assets whether the risks and rewards of the asset are substantially different as a result of the contractual
modification. If the risks and rewards do not change, the modified asset is not substantially different from
the original asset and the modification does not result in derecognition. The Group recalculates the gross
carrying amount by discounting the modified contractual cash flows by the original effective interest rate (or
credit-adjusted effective interest rate for POCI financial assets), and recognises a modification gain or loss
in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – measurement categories
Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for (i) financial
liabilities at fair value through profit and loss: this classification is applied to derivatives, financial liabilities
held for trading (e.g. short positions in securities), contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a
business combination and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition and (ii) financial
guarantee contracts and loan commitments.
Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss
The Group may designate certain liabilities at fair value through profit and loss at initial recognition. Gains
and losses on such liabilities are presented in profit or loss except for the amount of change in the fair value
that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability (determined as the amount that is not
attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk), which is recorded in other
comprehensive income and is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. This is unless such a
presentation would create, or enlarge, an accounting mismatch, in which case the gains and losses
attributable to changes in credit risk of the liability are also presented in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – derecognition
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of
financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there
is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Such a right of set off (a) must not be contingent on a future event and (b) must be legally enforceable in
all of the following circumstances: (i) in the normal course of business, (ii) in the event of default and (iii) in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy. There were no offsets of financial assets and liabilities as at
31 December 2021.

Presentation of results from sugar trading derivatives
The Group was engaged in raw sugar derivative trading transactions through an agent on ICE Futures US
primarily in order to manage the raw sugar purchase price risk (Note 30). As such transactions are directly
related to the core activity of the Group, their results are presented above gross profit as 'Net gain from
trading derivatives' in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Management believes that the presentation above gross profit line appropriately reflects the nature of
derivative operations of the Group.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash held on demand with banks, bank deposits with
original maturity of less than three months, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost because: (i) they are held
for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI, and (ii) they are not designated
at fair value through profit and loss. Features mandated solely by legislation, such as the bail-in legislation
in certain countries, do not have an impact on the SPPI test, unless they are included in contractual terms
such that the feature would apply even if the legislation is subsequently changed.
Restricted balances are excluded from cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the consolidated
statement of cash flows. Balances restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period are included in non-current assets.
2.13 Investments
Bank deposits with original maturities of more than three months and less than twelve months are classified
as short-term investments and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Bank deposits with original maturity of more than twelve months are classified as long-term and are carried
at amortised cost.
Bond held for trading are securities which are acquired solely to generate a profit from short-term
fluctuations in price or trader’s margin or are included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term trading
exists. These financial assets are classified as part of “other” business model and measured at fair value
through profit and loss. Business model is determined for a group of assets (on a portfolio level) based on
all relevant evidence about the activities that the Group undertakes to achieve the objective set out for the
portfolio available at the date of the assessment. Factors considered by the Group in determining the
business model include the purpose and composition of a portfolio, past experience on how the cash flows
for the respective assets were collected, how risks are assessed and managed, how the assets’
performance is assessed and how managers are compensated.
2.14 Prepayments
Prepayments classified as current assets represent advance payments to suppliers for goods and services.
Prepayments for construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment and prepayments for
intangible assets are classified as non-current assets. Prepayments are carried at cost less provisions for
impairment, if any. If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will
not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the year.
2.15 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted
average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour,
other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes
borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
selling expenses.

2.15 Inventories (continued)
Raw materials intended for the operating activities of the Group, finished goods and work in progress are
classified as current assets. Materials intended for construction are classified as non-current assets as
“Inventories intended for construction”.
2.16 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at their fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent
periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method; any difference
between the amount at initial recognition and the redemption amount is recognised as interest expense
over the period of the borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily
take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are capitalised as part of
the costs of those assets.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues up to the date when the assets are substantially ready
for their use or sale.
The Group capitalises borrowing costs that could have been avoided if it had not made capital expenditure
on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs capitalised are calculated at the Group’s average funding cost (the
weighted average interest cost is applied to the expenditures on the qualifying assets), except to the extent
that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Where this occurs,
actual borrowing costs incurred less any investment income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings are capitalised.
2.17 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised when the counterparty has performed its obligations under
the contract, and are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Value added tax
Output value added tax related to sales is payable to tax authorities on the earlier of (a) collection of the
receivables from customers or (b) delivery of the goods or services to customers. Input VAT is generally
recoverable against output VAT upon receipt of the VAT invoice. The tax authorities permit the settlement
of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to purchases where all the specified conditions for recovery have not
been met yet is recognised in the consolidated statements of financial position and disclosed separately
within other taxes receivable, while input VAT that has been claimed is netted off with the output VAT
payable. Where provision has been made for impairment of receivables, impairment loss is recorded for
the gross amount of the debtor, including VAT.
2.19 Other taxes payable
Other taxes payable comprises liabilities for taxes other than on income outstanding at the reporting date,
accrued in accordance with legislation enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
2.20 Income tax
Income taxes have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with legislation
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The income tax charge or credit
comprises current tax and deferred income tax and is recognised in profit or loss for the year.
Current tax
Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in respect
of taxable profits or losses for the current and prior periods.

2.20 Income tax (continued)
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet liability method, on tax losses carry forward
and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the initial recognition exemption, deferred
income taxes are not recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a
transaction other than a business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred income tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, which are expected to apply to the period when
the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded
only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is
sufficient future taxable profit available against which the deductions can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries
and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by
the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are netted only within the individual companies of the Group.
The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at the end of each reporting period.
Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than
not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities.
The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for
penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate
of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period.
2.21 Employee benefits
Payroll costs and related contributions
Wages, salaries, contributions to the Russian Federation state pension and social insurance funds, paid
annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year, in which
the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group.
Pension costs
The Group contributes to the Russian Federation state pension fund on behalf of its employees and has no
obligation beyond the payments made. The contribution was approximately 21.1% (2020: 21.2%) of the
employees’ gross pay and is expensed in the same period as the related salaries and wages.
The Group does not have any other legal or constructive obligation to make pension or other similar benefit
payments to its employees.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the equity instruments is
recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined
by reference to the fair value of the instruments granted measured at the grant date. For share-based
compensation made to employees by shareholders, an increase to share-based payment reserve in equity
is recorded equal to the associated compensation expense each period.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.22 Provisions for liabilities and charges
Provisions for liabilities and charges are non-financial liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. They are
accrued when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present
value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense within finance costs. Where
the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
2.23 Revenue recognition
Revenue is income arising in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities. Revenue is recognised in the
amount of transaction price. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects
to be entitled in exchange for transferring control over promised goods or services to a customer, excluding
the amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised net of discounts and value added
taxes.
Sales of goods. Sales are recognised when control of the good has transferred, being when the goods are
delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the goods, and there is no unfulfilled
obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the goods have
been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the
customer, and either the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the contract, the acceptance
provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been
satisfied.
Revenue from the sales with discounts is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the
estimated discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the
expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant reversal will not occur.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration
is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
If the Group provides any additional services to the customer after control over goods has passed, revenue
from such services is considered to be a separate performance obligation and is recognised over the time
of the service rendering.
Contract assets and liabilities are not separately presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position as they are not material.
Commodity loans. The Group provides and obtains commodity loans from other grain traders at the point
of transhipment by entering into sales and purchase agreements. Commodity loans are usually returned
within several months by reverse transactions between the same parties on identical terms.
These transactions are in substance commodity loans, rather than sale and purchase transactions.
Therefore, revenue and cost of sales attributable to these transactions are eliminated from the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
No commodity loans were obtained/provided in 2021.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.23 Revenue recognition (continued)
Sales of transportation services.
Revenue from providing transportation services is recognised in the accounting period in which these
services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service
provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided because the
customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously.
Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each
separate performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices. Where these are not directly
observable, they are estimated based on expected cost-plus margin.
Interest income. Interest income is recorded for all debt instruments, other than those at fair value through
profit and loss on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. This method defers, as part of
interest income, all fee received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate. Interest income on debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss calculated at nominal
interest rate is presented within ‘finance income’ line in profit or loss.
2.24 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided
to the Group’s chief operating decision maker. Segments whose revenue, result or assets are ten percent
or more of all the segments are reported separately.
2.25 Government grants
Government grants comprise compensation of interest expense under bank loans and government grants
relating to costs and property, plant and equipment.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities
as deferred government grants and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected
lives of the related assets. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit
or loss as other operating income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are
intended to compensate.
Compensation of interest expense under bank loans is credited to profit or loss over the periods
of the related interest expense unless this interest was capitalised into the carrying value of assets
in which case it is included in non-current liabilities as government grants and credited to profit or loss
on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant.
The loan is recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement. The benefit of the below-market rate of interest is measured as the difference between
the initial carrying value of the loan determined in accordance with IFRS 9 and the proceeds received.
The differences between nominal and market interest rate is recognized as interest expenses and
government grants in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or in
the consolidated statement of financial position.
Government grants are recognized at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received, and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants cash inflows are presented in the financing activities section of the consolidated
statement of cash flows.

2.26 Dividends
Dividends are recorded as a liability and deducted from equity in the period in which they are declared and
approved, appropriately authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Group. Any dividends declared
after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue are
disclosed in the subsequent events note.
2.27 Share capital and share premium
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Any excess of the fair value of
consideration receivable over the par value of shares issued is recorded as share premium in equity. Share
premium can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution of dividends,
and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital.
2.28 Treasury shares
Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company’s equity instruments, the consideration paid,
including any directly attributable incremental costs, net of income taxes, is deducted from equity
attributable to the Company’s owners until the equity instruments are cancelled, reissued or disposed of.
Where such equity instruments are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any
directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity
attributable to the Company’s owners.
2.29 Amendments of the consolidated financial statements after issue
Any changes to these consolidated financial statements after issue require approval of the Group’s
management and the Board of Directors who authorised these consolidated financial statements for issue.
2.30 Right-of-use assets
The Group leases various land, buildings, machinery, equipment and vehicles. Assets arising from a lease
are initially measured on a present value basis.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term
on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use
asset is depreciated over the underlying assets’ useful lives. Useful lives of right-of-use of land is limited by
contract terms but are not less than 10 years for contracts with prolongation option (Note 12). Depreciation
on the items of the right-of-use assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives as follows:
Useful lives in years
Land 1 to 50
Buildings 1 to 20
Machinery and equipment 1 to 7
Vehicles 1 to 5

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.31 Lease liabilities
Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable,
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or
rate as at the commencement date,
the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that
option.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of land plots, buildings, machinery, equipment
and vehicles across the Group. These terms are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of
managing the assets used in the Group’s operations. The majority of extension and termination options
held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. Extension options (or period after
termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or
not terminated). Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included
in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, which is generally the case for leases of the Group, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used,
being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar
value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, collateral and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:
where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point,
adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received,
makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and collateral.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate,
which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments
based on an index or rate take place, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use
asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance costs. The finance costs are charged to profit
or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets
are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a
lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture
with value of RR 300 or less.
2.32 Adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations
During the current year the Group adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on
1 January 2021.

2.32 Adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations (continued)
The following amended standard became effective from 1 January 2021, but did not have any material
impact on the Group:
The Group has initially adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9,
IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16) from 1 January 2021.
The Group applied the Phase 2 amendments retrospectively. Since the Group had no transactions for which
the benchmark rate had been replaced with an alternative benchmark rate as at 31 December 2020, there
is no impact on opening equity balances as a result of retrospective application.
The following amended standard became effective from 1 April 2021, but did not have any material impact
on the Group:
The Group has adopted COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 – Amendment to
IFRS 16 issued in March 2021. Prior to this amendment IFRS 16 introduced an optional practical expedient
with limited applicability period for leases in which the Group is a lessee – i.e. for leases to which the Group
applies the practical expedient, the Group is not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions that
are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic are lease modifications. The amendment
in 2021 extended the availability of the practical expedient by one year. The Group has applied the
amendment retrospectively. The amendment has no impact on retained earnings at 1 January 2021
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2021 and earlier
application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in
preparing these consolidated financial statements.
Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
The amendments specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for
the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments apply for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are
first applied. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying the amendments is
recognised as an opening balance adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity, as
appropriate. The comparatives are not restated. The Group has determined that there will be no
uncompleted contracts before the amendments become effective.
Deferred Income Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
(Amendments to IAS 12)
The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give
rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences e.g. leases and decommissioning liabilities. The
amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. For leases and
decommissioning liabilities, the associated deferred income tax asset and liabilities will need to be
recognised from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect
recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other
transactions, the amendments apply to transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
The Group accounts for deferred income tax on leases applying the ‘integrally linked’ approach, resulting
in a similar outcome to the amendments, except that the deferred income tax impacts are presented net in
the consolidated statement of financial position. Under the amendments, the Group will recognise a
separate deferred income tax asset and a deferred income tax liability. As at 31 December 2021, the taxable
temporary difference in relation to the right-of-use asset is RR 7,346,538 (Note 12) and the deductible
temporary difference in relation to the lease liability is RR 6,665,845 (Note 12), resulting in a net deferred
income tax liability of RR 50,718 (Note 26). Under the amendments, the Group will present a separate
deferred income tax liability of RR 394,803 and a deferred income tax asset of RR 344,085. There will be
no impact on retained earnings on adoption of the amendments.

pledged as collateral for the Group’s borrowings (Note 15).
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from changes in meat and crops prices. The Group does
not anticipate that crops and meat prices will decline significantly in the foreseeable future except some
seasonal fluctuations and, therefore, has not entered into derivative or other contracts to manage the risk
of a decline in respective prices. The Group reviews its outlook for meat and crops prices regularly in
considering the need for active financial risk management.

10. Long-term investments (continued)
On 20 August 2019 the Group acquired 22.5% of ownership interest in LLC GK Agro-Belogorie, one of the
largest pork producers in Russia and a large landholder in Belgorod region. Total cash consideration
transferred under the deal amounted to RR 8,500,000.
Key business areas of investee include industrial pig farming and meat processing, milk livestock, crop and
feed production.
Investment in LLC GK Agro-Belogorie is classified as investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income. The management considers that the Group does not have significant influence over
LLC GK Agro-Belogorie due the following:
The Group has no power to appoint the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing
body of LLC GK Agro-Belogorie;
Group management does not participate in the policy-making processes, including decisions about
dividends or other distributions;
There were no material transactions or interchange of managerial personnel between the Group and
LLC GK Agro-Belogorie since the share acquisition date;
No essential technical information was interchanged between the Group and LLC GK Agro-
Belogorie.
The fair value of the investment determined applying the level 3 valuation model amounted to RR 8,500,000
at acquisition date.
Subsequent to the initial recognition this investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income. As at 31 December 2021 the fair value of the acquired investment amounted to RR 8,556,556
(31 December 2020: RR 8,556,556). The fair value of the investment has not changed significantly since
2020.
The fair value of the investment has been determined based on discounted cash flow calculation using the
actual financial data and budgets of LLC GK Agro-Belogorie covering a five-year period and the expected
market prices for the key products for the same period according to leading industry publications. Cash
flows beyond the five-year period were projected with a long-term growth rate of 1.8% per annum (2020:
1.8% per annum).
The assumptions used for calculation and sensitivity of fair value measurement are presented in Note 30.
Bonds held to collect were denominated in Russian Roubles and mature in 2038. Nominal interest rate on
bonds equals 10.5%. Bonds held for trading were acquired with the intention of generating a profit from
short-term price fluctuations and for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements were classified
as trading investments with measurement at fair value through profit or loss.

12. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Group leases various lands, buildings, machinery, equipment and vehicles. Rental contracts are
typically made for fixed periods of 12 months to 49 years but may have extension options as described
below.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability from the date when the leased
asset becomes available for use by the Group.
As for the land lease, contracts include monetary agreements in which payments do not depend on an
index or a rate and non-monetary agreements based on a fixed volume of harvested crops. Based on
management’s assessment and previous experience, the lease term was set as 10 years as a minimum
for contracts with prolongation option. This term is justified by payback period of particular investment
projects, which depend on the time to analyse composition of the land and the roll-out and purchase price
of necessary fertilizers and equipment.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the
Group. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the
Group’s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the
Group and not by the respective lessor. For not tacitly renewable leases with contractual terms less than
12 months the lease term (and lease enforceability) is not considered to go beyond initial contract term.
The Group applies the exemption for short-term leases for such agreements.

In November 2018 the Group entered into a transaction with JSС Rosselkhozbank (hereinafter – “RSHB”)
for the acquisition of debt of Group of companies Solnechnye producty and its subsidiaries and related
companies. The gross value of total consideration for this acquisition amounted to RR 34,810,446 and the
payment will be made by the Group in cash in accordance with the payment schedule deferred over
20 years.
The deferred liability due to RSHB is presented within bank loans. The fair value of this liability at inception
date was RR 19,897,813 determined using the effective interest rate of 10.7% (applying level 2 valuation
model). The liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost with an effective interest rate of 10.7%.
The liability is collateralised by the 20-year bonds of RSHB in the amount of RR 19,900,000 at the interest
rate of 10.5% per annum purchased by the Group.
The fair value of the loans acquired in this transaction determined applying the level 3 valuation model
amounted to RR 23,410,231.
The fair value of the acquired loans has been determined based on the fair value of the collateral. The
collateral fair value is represented by the fair value of the underlying rights of claim determined with
reference to the assets pledged and other assets of the borrower / guarantors, taking into account
bankruptcy procedure period and discount rate, applicable to distressed assets. The fair value of the
production companies as a part of the assets pledged was determined based on discounted cash flow
calculations.
The difference of RR 3,412,418 between the fair value of the consideration and the fair value of loans
acquired represented day-one gain was initially deferred for the period of 5 years being the average term
of the acquired loans.

15.
Borrowings (continued)
As at 31 December 2019 the bankruptcy procedure expected to be finalised by the end of 2020. In 2020
COVID-19 pandemic caused the overall slowdown of bankruptcy procedures leading to the shift of expected
finalization to the end of 2021. As at 31 December 2020 the acquired loans amounted to RR 18,580,203
(including RR 4,875,725 of interest receivable on these loans) and recognised within Short-term
investments (Note 4).
In 2020 part of loans issued was repaid and the Group started to participate in auctions to buy some of the
assets of Solnechnye producty. An expected credit loss allowance for loans receivable in the amount of RR
4,804,688 was recognized because of the excess of gross carrying value of these loans as at 31 December
2020 over their collateral fair value mainly driven by the bankruptcy procedures terms’ increase. The
collateral fair value is represented by the fair value of the underlying rights of claim determined with
reference to the assets pledged and other assets of the borrower / guarantors, taking into account
bankruptcy procedure period and discount rate, applicable to distressed assets. The fair value of the
production companies as part of the assets pledged was determined based on discounted cash flow
calculations using the actual financial data and budgets of pledged Solnechnye producty production units
covering a five-year period and the expected market prices for the key products for the same period
according to the leading industry publications.
The assumptions used for the calculations to which the fair value is most sensitive were:
WACC after-tax discount rate of 12.3%;
Discount rate applicable to distressed assets of 20.3%.
If the revised estimated WACC after-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows used in the
valuation models of the loans acquired and discount rate applicable to distressed assets had been 1.0%
higher than management’s estimates, with all other assumptions held constant, the Group would need to
increase the credit loss allowance by RR 1,990,099.
During the year ended 31 December 2021 the Group acquired on a public auction the key production assets
of two oil extraction plants: OJSC Atkarskiy MEZ and LLC Volzhskiy Terminal and fat plant JSC Zirovoj
kombinat, subsidiaries of Solnechnye Producty, for total consideration of RR 28,202,943 (Note 11). These
assets were pledged as a collateral for loans issued to Solnechnye Producty. After these asset acquisitions
major part of corresponding loans issued were repaid. We assessed whether the assets acquired by the
Group from Solnechnye Producty meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3. The Group acquired no
processes or outputs in the transaction and, therefore the Group accounted for it as an acquisition of assets
rather than a business combination.
As at 31 December 2021 the expected credit loss allowance for loans receivable in the amount of RR
4,804,688 recognized as at 31 December 2020 was reversed in full amount.
As at 31 December 2021 the acquired loans amounted to RR 1,591,805 (including RR 417,713 of interest
receivable on these loans) and are recognised within Short-term investments (Note 4). Redemption of
remaining loans issued is expected to be finalized by 30 June 2022.
As at 31 December 2020 the day-one gain amounted to RR 552,748 and is recognised within Trade and
other payables (Note 16). As at 31 December 2021 the day-one gain was fully realised.
In November 2015 the Group entered into a transaction with VEB for the acquisition of debt (loans and
bonds) of PJSC Group Razguliay and its subsidiaries (hereinafter “Razguliay Group”). The total
consideration for this acquisition amounted to RR 33,914,546 and was paid by the Group in cash. As at
31 December 2021 the debts were fully repaid.
For the purpose of financing of this transaction, the Group raised a thirteen-year loan from VEB
in the amount of RR 33,914,546 at 1% per annum. The fair value of this loan at inception date was
RR 13,900,000 determined using the effective interest rate of 13.23%. The loan is measured at amortized
cost with an effective interest rate of 13.23%. The loan is secured by a thirteen-year deposit placed by the
Group with VEB in the amount of RR 13,900,000 (Note 10) at the interest rate of 12.84% per annum.

18. Government grants
During 2020-2021 the Group received government grants from the Tambov and Belgorod regional
governments and the Federal government in form of partial compensation of the investments into
acquisition of equipment for agricultural business and sugar processing and the investments into
reconstruction and modernisation of the pig-breeding farms and the slaughter house. The receipts of these
grants in 2021 amounted to RR 94,896 (2020: RR 291,966). These grants are deferred and amortised on
a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
In 2020-2021 the Group obtained government grants for reimbursement of interest expenses on bank loans
received for construction of the pig-breeding farms in the Far East and Tambov. The government grants
related to interest expenses capitalised into the carrying value of assets, were similarly deferred and
amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. The deferred government
grants, related to capitalised interest expense, amounted to RR 1,337,153 (2020: RR 995,874).

25. Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill Impairment Test
The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 December 2021 and 2020 was tested for impairment.
The recoverable amount of the Group’s cash-generating units has been determined based on a value-in-
use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Group management
covering a five-year period and the expected market prices for the Group’s key products for the same period
according to leading industry publications. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are projected with a long-
term growth rate of 4% per annum (31 December 2020: 3.5% per annum).
The assumptions used for value-in-use calculations to which the recoverable amount is most sensitive
were:

* EBITDA margin is calculated as the sum of operating cash flows before income tax and changes in working capital divided by the
amount of cash flow received from trade customers.

26. Income tax (continued)
Starting from 1 January 2017 the amendments to the Russian tax legislation became effective in respect
of tax loss carry-forwards. The amendments affect tax losses incurred and accumulated since 2007 that
have not been utilised. The 10-year expiry period for tax loss carry-forwards no longer applies. The
amendments also set limitation on utilisation of tax loss carry forwards that will apply during the period from
2017 to 2020, later this period was prolonged to 2024. The amount of losses that can be utilised each year
during that period is limited to 50% of annual taxable profit.
In the context of the Group’s current structure tax losses and current income tax assets of different
companies may not be set off against taxable profits and current income tax liabilities of other companies
and, accordingly, taxes may accrue even where there is a net consolidated tax loss. Therefore, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are offset only when they relate to the same taxable entity.

foreseeable future. For those temporary differences that will reverse in the foreseeable future
correspondent deferred income tax liabilities was recognized in the amount of RR 186,170 (2020: nil)
On 13 September 2021 the Board of Directors has approved a new dividend policy and increased minimal

29. Segment information
Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur
expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM)
and for which discrete financial information is available. The CODM is a person or a group of persons who
allocates resources and assesses the performance of the Group. The functions of CODM are performed
by the Board of Directors of ROS AGRO PLC.
Description of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenue
The Group is organised on the basis of four main business segments:
Sugar – processing of raw sugar and production of sugar from sugar-beet;
Meat – cultivation of pigs and meat processing;
Agriculture – agricultural production (cultivation of sugar-beet, grain and other agricultural crops);
Oil and Fat – vegetable oil extraction and processing.
Certain of the Group's businesses are not included within the reportable operating segments, as they are
not included in the reports provided to the CODM. The results of these operations are included in “Other”
caption. The Company, JSC Rusagro Group and LLC Group of Companies Rusagro that represent
the Group's head office and investment holding functions and earn revenue considered incidental
to the Group's activities are included in "Other" caption.
There were no changes in approach to the identification and measurement of operating segment profit or
loss, assets and liabilities.
Factors that management used to identify the reportable segments
The Group’s segments are strategic business units that focus on different customers. They are managed
separately because of the differences in the production processes, the nature of products produced and
required marketing strategies.
Financial information reviewed by the CODM includes:
Quarterly reports containing information about income and expenses by business units (segments)
based on IFRS numbers, that may be adjusted to present the segments results as if the segments
operated as independent business units and not as the division within the Group;
Quarterly reports with a breakdown of separate material lines of IFRS consolidated statement
of financial positions and IFRS consolidated statement of cash flows;
In addition to the main financial indicators, operating data (such as yield, production volumes, cost
per unit, staff costs) and revenue data (volumes per type of product, market share) are also reviewed
by the CODM on a quarterly basis.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities
The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on the Adjusted EBITDA figure for
the period. Adjusted EBITDA figure is not an IFRS measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to IFRS
operating profit in this Note.
In 2020 the Group updated its EBITDA calculation within Other operating income/(expenses) outlining non-
recurring items in order to reflect more precisely the operating activities of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA
is defined as operating profit before taking into account:
depreciation and amortisation;
non-recurring other operating adjustment (Note 23);

29. Segment information (continued)
the difference between the gain on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce
recognised in the year and the gain on initial recognition of agricultural produce attributable
to realised agricultural produce for the year and revaluation of biological assets attributable
to realised biological assets and included in cost of sales;
share-basetion;
provision/ (reversal of provision) for net realisable value of agricultural products in stocks
provision / (reversal of provision) for impairment of loans issued.
Transactions between operating segments are accounted for based on financial information of individual
segments that represent separate legal entities.
Analysis of revenues by products and services
Each business segment except for the “Agriculture” and “Oil & Fat” segments is engaged in the production
and sales of similar or related products (see above in this note). The “Agriculture” segment in addition to its
main activity of growing and harvesting agricultural crops, was engaged in the cultivation of dairy cattle
livestock until October, 2021 when assets of Rusagro-Moloko were sold to a third party. Related revenue
from sales of milk and other livestock products was RR 116,611 (2020: RR 205,997). The “Oil and Fat”
segment in additional to its main activity of vegetable oil extraction and processing is engaged in the
production of milk products, including dry milk textures and cheese products. Related revenue from milk
products was RR 4,866,075 (2020: RR 3,787,225). Dairy Products segment are included in Oil and Fat
segment in 2021 financial year, 2020 financial year results were corrected accordingly.
For the amount of revenue from services, which comprise mainly grain elevator services and processing of
sugar beet for third party agricultural enterprises, see Note 19.

30. Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including commodity price risk,
foreign exchange risk, cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets
and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group does not
use derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk exposure, except in 2020 for raw sugar commodity
price risk management as described below.
Operating risk management is carried out on the level of the finance function of the Group’s business
segments with overall monitoring and control by management of the Group. The management is
implementing principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as
foreign exchange risk, interest-rate risk, credit risk, use of non-derivative financial instruments, and
investing excess liquidity.
Credit risk
The credit risk represents the risk of losses for the Group owing to default of counterparties on obligations
to transfer to the Group cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
Activities of the Group that give rise to credit risk include granting loans, making sales to customers on
credit terms, placing deposits with banks and performing other transactions with counterparties giving rise
to financial assets.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date without taking account of any collateral
held is as follows:

As at 31 December 2021 the Group has collateral against RR 56,176 of its trade receivables (31 December
2020: RR 46,887). The Group has geographical concentration of credit risk in the Russian market since the
majority of the Group’s customers conduct their business in the Russian Federation.

Credit risk grading system. For measuring credit risk and grading financial instruments by the amount of
credit risk, the Group applies two approaches – an Internal Risk-Based (IRB) rating system or risk grades
estimated by external international rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s – “S&P”, Fitch, Moody’s). Internal
and external credit ratings are mapped on an internally defined master scale with a specified range of
probabilities of default as disclosed in the table below:
Master scale credit risk grade Corresponding internal
ratings
Corresponding ratings of
external international rating
agencies
Corresponding
PD interval
Excellent 1 – 6 AAA to BB+
0.01% - 0.05%
Good 7 – 14 BB to B+ 0.06% - 1%
Satisfactory 15 – 21 B, B-
1% - 5%
Special monitoring 22 – 25 CCC+ to CC-
6% - 99.9%
Default 26 – 30 C, D-I, D-II
100%
Each master scale credit risk grade is assigned a specific degree of creditworthiness:
Excellent – strong credit quality with low expected credit risk;
Good – adequate credit quality with a moderate credit risk;
Satisfactory – moderate credit quality with a satisfactory credit risk;
Special monitoring – facilities that require closer monitoring and remedial management; and
Default – facilities in which a default has occurred.
The IRB system is designed internally, and ratings are estimated by management. Various credit-risk
estimation techniques are used by the Group depending on the class of the asset. There are three
commonly used types of such systems:
Model-based – In this system, credit risk ratings are assigned by internally developed statistical
models with the limited involvement of credit officers. Statistical models include qualitative and
quantitative information that shows the best predictive power based on historical data on defaults.
Expert judgement-based – In this system, credit risk ratings are assigned subjectively by experienced
credit officers based on internally developed methodology and different qualitative and quantitative
factors. This approach is based on expert methodology and judgements rather than on sophisticated
statistical models.
Hybrid – This rating system is a combination of the two systems above. It is developed by using
historical data combined with expert input.
The Group applies IRB systems for measuring credit risk for the following financial assets: cash and cash
equivalents, bank deposits, bonds held for trading.
The table below discloses the credit quality of cash and cash equivalents balances and bank deposits
based on credit risk grades at 31 December 2021.

Expected credit loss measurement. Expected credit loss is a probability-weighted estimate of the present
value of future cash shortfalls. An expected credit loss measurement is unbiased and is determined by
evaluating a range of possible outcomes. Expected credit loss measurement is based on four components
used by the Group: Probability of Default, Exposure at Default, Loss Given Default and Discount Rate.
Exposure at Default is an estimate of exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected
changes in the exposure after the reporting period, including repayments of principal and interest, and
expected drawdowns on committed facilities.
the borrower is more than 90 days past due on its contractual payments;
international rating agencies have classified the borrower in the default rating class;
the borrower meets the unlikeliness-to-pay criteria listed below:
- the borrower is deceased;
- the borrower is insolvent;
- it is becoming likely that the borrower will enter bankruptcy.
Forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL models. The Group identified certain key
economic variables that correlate with developments in credit risk and ECLs. As with any economic
forecast, the projections and likelihoods of occurrence are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty,
and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Group considers
these forecasts to represent its best estimate of the possible outcomes and has analysed the non-linearities
and asymmetries within the Group's different portfolios to establish that the chosen scenarios are
appropriately representative of the range of possible scenarios. The Group regularly reviews its
methodology and assumptions to reduce any difference between the estimates and the actual loss of credit.
Such backtesting is performed at least once a year.
The results of backtesting the ECL measurement methodology are communicated to Group Management and
further steps for tuning models and assumptions are defined after discussions between authorised persons.

30. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group did not recognise any expected credit loss allowance in respect of loans issued because of
significant excess of its collateral value over the gross carrying value of these loans.
Neither past due nor impaired trade receivables relate to the customers who have a long-standing
relationship with the Group and a sound trading history.
Concentrations of trade receivables by type of customer are as follows:
31 December 202

The majority of the customers do not have independent ratings. To minimize the risk of default on payment
of amounts due by counterparties for supplied goods or rendered services the Group regularly revises the
maximum amount of credit and grace periods for each significant customer.

Financial assets are impaired when there is evidence that the Group will not receive the full amount due or
receive the full amount later than contracted. Factors to consider include whether the receivable is past
due, the age of the receivable and past experience with the counterparty.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through
an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses,
Group Treasury aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. The
Group Treasury analyses the net debt position as disclosed in Note 15.

Market risk
Market risk, associated with financial instruments, is the risk of change of fair value of financial instruments
or the future cash flows expected on a financial instrument, owing to change in interest rates, exchange
rates, prices for the commodities or other market indicators. From the risks listed above
the Group is essentially exposed to the risks associated with changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
commodity prices.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s income and operating cash flows are exposed to changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings. Borrowings at variable rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value
interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to maintain most of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments. The
Group does not have formal policies and procedures in place for management of fair value interest rate
risk.
Interest rates under most of the Group’s borrowings are fixed. However, the terms of the contracts stipulate
the right of the creditor for a unilateral change of the interest rate (both increase and decrease), which can
be based, among other triggers, on a decision of the CBRF to change the refinancing rate.
Bank deposits and loans issued bear fixed interest rate and therefore are not exposed to cash flow interest
rate risk.
The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a continuous basis. Various scenarios are considered
taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Based on these
scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift.
For each scenario, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for
liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
During the year ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 the Group was not exposed to the cash
flow interest rate risk as all of the Group’s borrowings had fixed rates.

30. Financial risk management (continued)
Foreign exchange risk
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, foreign exchange risk arises on cash in banks, short-term investments,
trade and other receivables, borrowings and trade and other payables denominated in foreign currency
(Notes 3, 4, 5, 15 and 16).
At 31 December 2021, if the Russian Rouble had weakened/strengthened by 30% (31 December 2020:
30%) against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before taxation and
equity would have been RR 732,838 (2020: RR 562,822) higher/lower.
At 31 December 2021 if the Russian Rouble had weakened/strengthened by 30% (31 December 2020:
30%) against the Euro with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before taxation and equity
would have been RR 20,922 (2020: RR 170,149) lower/higher.
Purchase price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk arising on investments held by the Group and classified
in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note
10). The Group does not manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities.
Sales price risk
Changes in white sugar prices are closely related to changes in world raw sugar prices. The storage
facilities of own sugar plants permit to build up stocks of white sugar to defer sales to more favourable price
periods.
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from changes in meat and crops prices (Note 9).
Fair value estimation
The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Group using available
market information, where it exists, and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgement is
necessarily required to interpret market data to determine the estimated fair value. The Russian Federation
continues to display some characteristics of an emerging market and economic conditions continue to limit
the volume of activity in the financial markets. Market quotations may be outdated or reflect distress sale
transactions and therefore not represent fair values of financial instruments. Management has used all
available market information in estimating the fair value of financial instruments.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
The fair value of floating rate instruments is normally their carrying amount. The estimated fair value
of fixed interest rate instruments is based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received
discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity.
Discount rates used depend on credit risk of the counterparty.
Liabilities carried at amortised cost
The fair value of floating rate instruments is normally their carrying amount. The estimated fair value
of fixed interest rate instruments with stated maturity was estimated based on expected cash flows
discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity.

For the purposes of measurement, IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” classifies bonds held to collect, loans
issued, long-term borrowings to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Other financial instruments except bonds
held for trading are classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of bonds held-for trading is derived from open active markets and is within level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy.
The fair values in level 2 and level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were estimated using the discounted cash
flows valuation technique. The fair value is based on discounting of cash flows using 10.7-15.6% (2020:
9.9-20.3%) discount rate.
The valuation technique, inputs used in the fair value measurement for level 3 measurements and related
sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in those inputs in relation to the investment at fair value
through other comprehensive income (Note 10) are as follows at 31 December 2021:

30. Financial risk management (continued)
The valuation technique, inputs used in the fair value measurement for level 3 measurements and related
sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in those inputs in relation to the investment at fair value through
other comprehensive income (Note 10) are as follows at 31 December 2020:
Inputs used
Range of inputs
(weighted average)
Reasonable

Sensitivity

± 0.5%
± 274,518
Sensitivity of fair value to valuation inputs for financial assets and financial liabilities, if changing one or
more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not be
significant. For this purpose, significance was judged with respect to profit or loss, and total assets or total
liabilities, or, when changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income, total equity.
There were no changes in the valuation technique for level 3 recurring fair value measurements during the
year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: none).
Capital management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximize participants’ return while
sustaining a reasonable level of financial risks. The Group does not have a quantified target level
of participants’ return or capital ratios. To fulfil capital management objectives while providing for external
financing of regular business operations and investment projects, the Group management compares
expected return of these operations and projects with the costs of debt and maintains prudent financial risk
management as described above.
The Group companies complied with all externally imposed capital requirements throughout 2021 and
2020.
31. Contingencies
Tax legislation
Russian tax and customs legislation which was enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting
period, is subject to varying interpretations when being applied to the transactions and activities of the
Group. Consequently, tax positions taken by management and the formal documentation supporting the
tax positions may be challenged tax authorities. Russian tax administration is gradually strengthening,
including the fact that there is a higher risk of review of tax transactions without a clear business purpose
or with tax incompliant counterparties. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of
taxes for three calendar years preceding the year when decisions about the review was made. Under
certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods.
Russian transfer pricing legislation is generally aligned with the international transfer pricing principles
developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with certain specific
features. Transfer pricing legislation provides for the possibility of additional tax assessment for controlled
transactions (transactions between related parties and certain transactions between unrelated parties) if
such transactions are not on an arm’s length basis. Management has implemented internal controls to be
in compliance with current transfer pricing legislation.
Tax liabilities arising from controlled transactions are determined based on their actual transaction prices.
It is possible, with the evolution of the interpretation of the transfer pricing rules, that such prices could be
challenged. The impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated; however, it may be significant
to the financial position and/or the Group’s operations.

31. Contingencies (continued)
Starting from 2015 new rules were put in place establishing when foreign entities can be viewed as managed
from Russia and consequently can be deemed Russian tax residents. Russian tax residency means that such
legal entity’s worldwide income will be taxed in Russia.
The tax liabilities of the Group were determined on the assumption that the foreign companies of the Group were
not subject to applicable Russian taxes, because they did not have a permanent establishment in Russia and
were not Russian profit tax residents by way of application of the new tax residency rules. However, the Russian
tax authorities may challenge this interpretation of relevant legislation in regard to the foreign companies of the
Group. The impact of any such challenge cannot be reliably estimated currently; however, it may be significant
to the financial position and/or the overall operations of the Group.
The Group’s Management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate, and the
Group’s tax and customs positions will be sustained. Accordingly, at 31 December 2021 no provision for potential
tax liabilities had been recorded (2020: no provision). Management will vigorously defend the Group's positions
and interpretations that were applied in determining taxes recognised in these consolidated financial statements
if these are challenged by the authorities.
Social obligations
Some production companies of the Group have collective agreements signed with the employees. Based on
these contracts the companies make social payments to the employees. The amounts payable are determined
in each case separately and depend primarily on performance of the company. These payments do not satisfy
the liability recognition criteria listed in IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”. Therefore, no liability for social obligations
was recognised in these consolidated financial statements.
Legal proceedings
From time to time and in the normal course of business, claims against the Group may be received. On the basis
of its own estimates, management is of the opinion that no material losses will be incurred in respect of claims.
There are no current legal proceedings or other claims outstanding which could have a material effect on the
results of operations and financial position of the Group.
Operating environment of the Group
The uncertainties related to the operating environment of the Group are described in Note 1.
32. Commitments
Contractual capital expenditure commitments
As at 31 December 2021 the Group had outstanding contractual commitments in respect of purchases
or construction of property, plant and equipment in the amount of RR 6,705,623 (31 December 2020
RR: 6,974,843).
33. Subsequent events
Dividends. Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2021, the Board of Directors recommends the payment
of additional dividends out of the profits for the year 2021 to the amount of RR 11,928,542. Given that the
Company has already paid interim dividends for 2021 to the amount of RR 8,755,947, the total dividend out of
the profits for 2021 would amount to RR 20,684,489. The dividend per share will be fixed at the dividend record
date set on 1 April 2022. The proposed dividend is subject to approval by the shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the dividends that have not been approved on
the reporting date.
