Market opportunity

Rising global demand
and export potential

Supply volatility
= new opportunity

Climate stress in major producing regions is increasing supply risk and price volatility, creating room for new, reliable capacity from diversified geographies such as Central Asia.

Pricing
tailwinds

The average price of tomato paste on the global market has increased by 45% from 2021 to 2023, reaching historical highs, with volatility persisting into 2025-2026. The addressable market is growing.

Logistics
advantage

Lower delivered cost & diversified offtake: proximity to EU, EAEU, Middle East, and Asia enables shorter lead times and competitive freight economics—critical in a price-sensitive commodity ingredient market.
