VI. INDUSTRY OF THE GROUP AND ITS PLACE IN THE INDUSTRY

Frozen Food Industry;

The frozen food sector, which is among the main business lines in which Kerevitaş operates, is a food industry branch that operates from the supply of raw materials suitable for freezing, (seed selection, production, purchase) to transporting raw material to the facilities under suitable conditions, from being stored in the premises to selection, picking, washing, sizing and processing with product-specific techniques and to the monitoring of customer results as a result of storage, loading, transportation, distribution, and consumption, by deep freezing and being packed in the appropriate ways and techniques.

According to Turkish Food Codex, "quick frozen food" means the food in which the maximum crystallization temperature zone is exceeded as soon as possible, depending on the type of product, provided by a suitable freezing process known as quick freezing, where all points of the product are at –18°C or lower after the temperature has reached a constant value and in which this situation is constantly maintained and marketed in such a way as to carry these characteristics.

Fast freezing process is the best food preservation method for preserving food quality, flavor, smell, and nutritional content. Food is stored in its most natural state thanks to quick freezing at -40°C, which freezes the water in the foods into ice crystals and inhibits the microorganisms that cause spoilage from growing, as well as limiting chemical and biological changes. Cold storage, cold transportation and similar processes which must be implemented in order for the foodstuffs that need to be kept in a cold environment to maintain their compliance with the food safety criteria and their properties at every stage, starting from the production stage to consumption, such as shipping, storage and sales, is called "Cold Chain". Maintaining the temperature of - 18°C in all links of the Cold Chain from production to shipment and sales point is of high importance for our frozen product groups. Consumers who purchase food kept in -18°C cabinets at retail locations are advised to put them in their home freezers or cook them within 2 hours.

Today, it is provided to freeze fruits and vegetables processed using the IQF (Individual Quick Freezing Process) technique in frozen food facilities, individually by deep-freezing. With this method, the raw materials supplied from the source and in the season are cleaned and individually frozen at -40°C cold in a short period of 5-8 minutes by applying IQF. The procedure involves freezing the water in the products, giving them a lengthy shelf life without the usage of chemicals. Freezing food: This is the process of freezing cell sap together with the ingredients that make up the food without cracking the core membrane, by applying the IQF method. Since the products are collected in full season and frozen in their freshest form and at low temperatures, they retain their freshness and nutritional value until the moment of consumption.

Frozen food investments began in Turkey in the early 1970s for export, and the Frozen Food Market began to flourish in 1990, with Kerevitaş's goods being sold to the domestic market for the first time. Today, it has become a category that is sold in both retail and out-of-home consumption channels, including different categories such as Pizza, Pastry, Puff Pastry, Ravioli, Pita, Vegetable-Fruit, Potato & Potato Croquettes, Desserts, Meat Products and Coated Products, Canned Products and Frozen Bakery. Reaching 13 times the value in the last 6 years, the Retail Frozen Food Market has reached a value of TRY 5.5 billion* with a growth of 136% in 2024Q1 compared to the same period of previous year.

Since the 1930s, this market has grown to nearly \$290 billion per year. Consumption per capita is over 30 kg in countries such as the U.S., Germany, and the UK. In the Frozen Food and Canned Food Turkey market, in 2024Q1 per household consumption is 2.5 kg, which shows that there is growth potential.

Vegetable Oil/Fat Industry;

The production of vegetable oil in the world is mainly covered by palm oil, as well as soy, rapeseed, and sunflower. In our country, a large part of the oilseed and vegetable oil production is obtained from sunflower. Other than that, cotton seed (chewed), soy, rapeseed, aspire, corn, and olive are among the key ingredients used for vegetable oil production. Margarine is the fat category most open to branding. Sunflower oil is the largest category of the market.

Compared to the same period last year, the Turkish consumer oil market has grown by 48% in 2024Q1 and reached a turnover value of TRY 18 billion**. In the same period, the margarine category, which is the most open to branding oil category, reached a value of TRY 2.4 billion*** with a growth of 52% in turnover value.
