씨감자 회사 HZPC 수익 기대치를 그대로 유지합니다.

Despite the fact that the conflict in Ukraine is affecting HZPC’s sales, HZPC is keeping its profit forecast intact after three quarters in the 2021-2022 financial year.

HZPC expects the volume of seed potatoes traded by HZPC and its licensees to reach a tonnage just above 900,000 tons. This is about the same as the tonnage in 2020-2021; a year in which the results were strongly affected by the economic impact of the corona crisis. However, it is 1% lower than the volume estimate after the second quarter. This expected drop in sales was largely caused by the war in Ukraine.

For the entire fiscal year, HZPC expects to realize a turnover of EUR 342 million (about USD 361 million) (in 2020-2021 this was EUR 314 million (about USD 331 million)) with a gross margin of almost EUR 62 million (about USD 65,4 million) (9% more compared to the previous fiscal year).

운영 비용은 49만 유로(약 51.6만 달러)를 약간 상회할 것으로 예상됩니다(전 회계연도보다 1.9만 유로(약 2만 달러) 감소). 이러한 기대로 인해 EBITDA는 12.6만 유로(약 13.3만 달러)(이전 회계연도보다 7만 유로(약 7.3만 달러) 증가)가 되었습니다.

Over the year 2021-2021 HZPC has realized a net profit of EUR 1.4 million(about USD 1.47 million). This financial year a net profit of EUR 6.6 million (about USD 6,9) is expected. This is limited lower than the profit that was expected after the second quarter. These profit figures do not yet include the costs of the Connecting Growers program.

재배자를 연결하다

Connecting Growers is a program in which certificates of shares are purchased and offered to active seed potato growers of HZPC Holding B.V. in the European Union. Last year more than EUR 1.3 million (about USD 1,37 million) was spent on this. The agreement is that per year a maximum of EUR 1.5 million (about USD 1,58 million) will be spent.

우크라이나

일반적으로 HZPC delivers seed potatoes to Ukraine. Also for this year orders have been placed. However, until now only a limited part has been delivered and the major part has been canceled. In the press, HZPC has openly expressed its solidarity with Ukraine and its people.

그럼에도 불구하고 대부분의 러시아로의 배송은 계속되었습니다. 감자는 중요한 식량작물이다. 씨앗과 묘목은 모든 식량 생산의 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 시작입니다. 따라서 이는 식량 안보를 위한 필수 요건입니다. 이는 정치적, 경제적 안정과 전 세계 사람들의 복지를 위해 필수적입니다.

Gerard Backx, CEO of HZPC 보유:

“우크라이나 전쟁은 여러 제품의 가격과 특히 유럽의 많은 재배자들의 선택에 큰 영향을 미쳤습니다. 2022분기 이후 유럽의 감자 재배자들은 다른 주요 농산물의 가격 상승으로 인해 XNUMX년 수확을 위해 감자를 심는 것을 다소 꺼리는 것이 분명해졌습니다.”

“우크라이나 전쟁 발발 이후 유럽의 씨감자 판매가 정체되었습니다. 추가 매출이 거의 발생하지 않거나 추가 매출로 인해 취소된 주문이 보충됩니다. 평상시에는 3월과 4월에 유럽 매출의 몇 퍼센트를 항상 실현합니다. 올해는 없어졌네요.”

지적재산권 중국

In the 2020-2021 annual report, HZPC shared that it is important to keep a sharp eye on its intellectual property and that HZPC intervenes when its varieties are used illegally. This is happening and has happened in China. During the last few years, HZPC has conducted various lawsuits about its intellectual property and related matters.

These often lead to payments of fines and overdue licenses. Only when these matters have been fully completed will the income from them be recorded in the books. On the basis of the current state of affairs HZPC expects a payment of 3 – 4 million euros in the future.

기대

세계의 현재 상황은 미래를 불확실하게 만듭니다. 높은 인플레이션은 대부분 완전 경쟁 시장의 농업 부문 기업에 영향을 미칩니다. 정치적 불안정과 탈세계화로 인해 국제 무역이 제한되고 운송 비용이 더 높아집니다.

HZPC is convinced that the potato acreage in the world will increase even further. Seed potatoes are needed for this. HZPC is active in various continents and expects that the use of her varieties in the world will continue to increase.

지난 XNUMX 년 동안 HZPC has built large-scale yield trials into its hybrid potato breeding program for the first time at several locations around the world. HZPC is very satisfied with the results of these trials. The selected hybrid potato varieties will be provided with resistance genes in the coming years.

그 후 HZPC will start with the market introduction of these varieties. HZPC can supply both seed potatoes of these varieties and botanical seeds. The last creates a large potential, especially for the markets to which currently no seed potatoes can be delivered.

HZPC is a leading player in this field. HZPC has been working on the hybrid potato breeding program for more than ten years and it is still going according to the original plan. Externals attribute great economic value to such a program. More information about the breeding program can be found at  www.hzpc.com/hybrid.
