Wingara AG Limited (ASX: WNR), the owner and operator of value-add, mid-stream assets specialising in the processing, storage and marketing of agriculture produce for export markets, today provides an update to its current business operations.
As announced in commentary over the past six months, trading conditions continue to be subdued for the fodder market with pricing pressures eroding margins and production volumes reducing in line with lower demand.
The 2023-2024 Oaten hay cutting season is almost complete with a good spread of hay quality being available however, new season order commitments for 2025 are slow and sporadic. On this basis, the Company has paused the hay processing activity at its Epsom site while new season contracts are being negotiated. The Company will continue to provide storage and marketing services to both farmers and customers using its existing infrastructure, strong network and capable team; including co-ordinating tolling contracts on other processor sites to maintain scale and efficiencies.
As market conditions improve supply and demand pricing, the Company will recommence the processing element of its operations.
Wingara management are also continuing to actively pursue other market opportunities that align with the Wingara platform.
This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors of Wingara AG Limited.
