Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM listed fertiliser producer, provides the following update on sales of its organic, multi-nutrient, direct application fertiliser, KP Fértil®, from its 100% owned Arapuá Fertiliser Project in Brazil ('Arapuá').

OVERVIEW

§ Orders to the end of April 2024 totaled 17,388 tonnes, equating to c. 50% of total 2023 volume ordered and c. 25% of 2024 sales guidance of 70,000 tonnes

§ Invoiced orders totaled 8,396 tonnes, with the remaining expected to be invoiced through Q2 2024

§ Extensive sales campaign has been initiated in preparation of stronger market seasonality in second half of the year

Brian McMaster, Chairman of Harvest, said: "We're pleased by the initial response to our new marketing campaign, which in April alone, generated orders comparable to those received from January to March 2024. This places us at 25% of our annual guidance of 70,000 tonnes, instilling confidence as we move into the more robust seasonal phase of the year. While we recognize the ongoing challenges in the market, we maintain cautious optimism about meeting our year-end targets. We'll closely monitor market conditions and adjust our strategies as necessary.

In the first four months of 2024, Harvest received new orders totalling 17,388 tonnes for its KP Fértil® product produced at its Arapuá Fertiliser Project in Brazil, of which 8,396 tonnes were invoiced by end of the period and the remaining orders are expected to be invoiced through Q2 2024. The orders to date represent c. 50% of the total volume placed in 2023.

Despite the ongoing tightness in market prospects, there are signs pointing towards improvement in the second half of the year, particularly as it aligns with the seasonal strength of our target crops. Harvest's marketing campaign has been positively received, suggesting that new and existing buyers are returning to the marketplace as macroeconomic conditions normalise. Moving forward, we maintain our guidance target of 70,000 tonnes for the year 2024 and look forward to providing further updates to the market throughout the year.
