automated pellet packaging is available in most but not all production facilities. The focus on quality control delivers 98.5% (Jan-Aug

Sourcing; security of supply with traceability – BioMar has the flexibility to draw on many suppliers given it has no vertical integration

into input supply. The group has centralised sourcing for key inputs to maximise its pricing power. That said, it can incorporate local

sourcing to de-risk the supply logistics and look to suppliers/supply that is aligned with its sustainability goals and has the necessary

traceability where required. There is also collaboration between R&D and formulation to enable faster adoption and effective nutrient

availability to each species and specific requirements for each development phase. In addition, the group is tracking supplier performance

to drive supplier selection and enhance collaboration. Lastly, it also tracks monthly prices and analyses these against global indices and

benchmarks.
