This Agreement provides GrowMax with the benefit of an ongoing future revenue stream and lower market risk once production of phosphate rock commences and also provides Kisan with a secure future supply of phosphate rock. This Agreement marks an important step in the Company’s strategy to optimize its existing projects and assets and is consistent with our recently-announced objective to become a cash-generating fertilizer business.”
