7.1 Revenue Streams & Diversification
GoldenYield Agri’s revenue strategy is built on a diversified sales model designed to mitigate concentration risk and optimise pricing across multiple market channels. The revenue mix will evolve over the five-year projection period as the Company establishes market relationships and introduces value-added products.

7.2 Offtake Strategy
The Company will pursue a combination of SAFEX-linked spot sales, forward contracts, and direct supply agreements with major buyers. The forward contracting strategy will target hedging 40-60% of expected production pre-harvest, providing revenue visibility and downside protection. Key target buyers include Tiger Brands, Premier Foods (Mpumalanga Milling), Pioneer Foods, and regional livestock feed compounders.
7.3 Pricing Strategy
Pricing will be benchmarked to SAFEX spot and futures prices, adjusted for transport differentials, quality premiums, and delivery terms. The Company will target delivery during off-peak periods (August-November) when prices are typically 10-15% above harvest-period levels, enabled by on-farm storage capacity. For export sales, pricing will be based on regional parity levels adjusted for logistics costs and currency movements.
7.4 Export Market Development
From Year 2, the Company will actively pursue export opportunities in neighbouring SADC countries, starting with Botswana and Mozambique where established trade corridors and logistics infrastructure facilitate cross-border grain trade. Export volumes are projected to grow from 5% of total revenue in Year 1 to 15% by Year 5, providing geographic diversification and access to potentially higher margins.
