VERDANT APF GROUP supports the Social Car project
Dear clients,
With the rapidly growing size of our investment group VERDANT APF GROUP, we have increasingly greater opportunities to effectively support not only Czech farmers, but also CSR activities (corporate social responsibility) that effectively help people completely dependent on the help of others.
In the last quarter of this year, we decided to support the unique CSR project "Sociální automobil" (social car). This charitable activity, with the support of donors, primarily from among Czech companies, strives to create, improve and renew the fleet of vehicles in social facilities. These facilities focus on the upbringing, education, rehabilitation and integration of people with health, mental or other disabilities. Unfortunately, the fleet in these facilities is often in poor technical condition.
We fully identify with the idea of the founders of this project, the KOMPAKT spol. s r. o. agency, that every company that has established itself on our market within a few years and is successfully operating its business could or should support CSR activities at least in a small part. The “Sociální automobil” project has been operating since 1997 and to date, with the support of companies from all over the Czech Republic, has managed to hand over 1,021 “social cars.”
Our investment group contributed to the purchase of a Dacia Jogger intended for the Silesian Diaconate – Early Care Counseling Center DOREA Brno, which was ceremonially handed over on November 26, 2024.
Supporting CSR projects has long been one of the priorities for our investment group, and we will continue to do so.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Crypto taxation from 2025 in practice
Dear clients,
You, like us, were very interested and pleased by the bill that was approved by the Chamber of Deputies on Friday, December 6. It may significantly change the rules for taxation of income from the sale of crypto assets for the better. It is very likely that the amendment to the law will be approved by the end of the year, and we therefore expect that from January 1, 2025, crypto asset investors will have two new options for exempting their income from the sale of crypto assets from tax liability.
You send us dozens of questions on this topic every day, so we summarize the answers to your most frequently asked questions below.
The new law will apply to income from the sale of the APFC token
If the law is approved in its current form, it will also apply to our main investment product, the sale of the APC token, which we use as a tool for raising funds to purchase the highest quality Czech agricultural land. The values of the APFC token and agricultural land in our administration are in direct correlation and we regularly inform you about the current values in the News section.
Value limit: 100,000 CZK
If your total gross income from the sale of crypto assets for the tax period does not exceed 100,000 CZK, you will be completely exempt from paying income tax. However, this value limit includes the total gross income from the sale of crypto assets, not just the profit. This means that even if you sell some crypto assets at a loss compared to the purchase price, but the sales income exceeds 100,000 CZK, it will have to be included in the tax return and taxed at the appropriate rate.
However, with our contracts, you are always guaranteed a higher purchase price for repurchase, so you will never sell the APFC token at a loss.
When you sell different crypto assets during the year, the sales income is added together. It doesn't matter whether you sell everything at once or several times during the year. If the total income from the sale of crypto assets for a calendar year exceeds CZK 100,000, it will be subject to taxation.
Time test: After three years of holding, you do not have to tax the income from the sale of crypto assets
So far, the time test only applied to income from the sale of securities - if the holder sold them within three years of their purchase, he did not have to tax the profit from the sale.
The same principle will now apply to the sale of crypto assets! So all you have to do is invest in the purchase of our APFC tokens and conclude a repurchase agreement for at least three years, and all profit from the sale will no longer be subject to taxation.
The only limitation is that the exemption from taxation applies to the total gross income from the sale of crypto assets up to a maximum of CZK 40 million per year.
If you sell crypto assets after more than three years of holding them for an amount higher than 40 million crowns in one calendar year, you will only have to tax the amount above this limit. So if you sell crypto assets for, for example, 50 million crowns in one calendar year, you will only have to tax the amount of 10 million crowns.
Also, pay attention to the combined income from the sale of crypto assets and securities. These are also added together. If, for example, you sell crypto assets for 25 million crowns in one calendar year and also sell shares for 25 million crowns, the total income will be 50 million crowns and you must therefore tax 10 million crowns (in general, any amount above the limit of 40 million crowns per year).
Crypto asset exchange will not cancel the time test
The new form of the law also simplifies the conditions for investors in a situation where they will change their purchased crypto assets (for example, when updating the protocol). Cryptocurrency exchanges will no longer erase the time test - this means that the holding period will still be calculated from the date of purchase of the cryptoassets, not from the time of their exchange. So, for example, if you exchange Ethereum for a newer version, the time test will still run from the original purchase date.
Tax exemption: Cryptoassets in business assets
If you purchase cryptoassets from corporate funds and include them in the business assets of the company, the income exemption based on the value limit or the time test will not apply to these assets. If you use the cryptoassets as part of your business, the income from their sale will simply be subject to standard taxation.
The proposed amendment to the law brings significant tax breaks for long-term investors while maintaining stricter regulations for high income and business activities with cryptoassets. We appreciate, fully support and identify with such legislative action.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Deputies gave their nod to milder taxation of the crypt
Dear clients,
On Friday, December 6, the Chamber of Deputies approved a proposal that will allow the sale of cryptocurrencies to be subject to a time test, similar to that for stocks. This means that people who do not sell their cryptocurrency for three years do not have to pay tax on profits from this transaction up to CZK 40 million. Anyone who sells cryptocurrencies up to CZK 100,000 in a calendar year will also be exempt from tax.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Regenerative agriculture and the VERDANT APF GROUP
Dear clients,
We would like to introduce you to the fundamental program of the VERDANT APF GROUP, which we will gradually implement from 2025.
Regenerative agriculture is a new approach to agricultural production based on a return to nature and to natural ecological and biological processes and relationships in nature. It is built on the self-renewing and self-regulating capabilities of the soil. The principle is minimal soil cultivation with maximum support for microbial life. The goal is to restore soil health and fertility, improve biodiversity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Find out more at: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerativní_zemědělství
As part of sustainable agriculture, the VERDANT APF GROUP Group is committed to applying the principles of regenerative agriculture on its owned land continuously from 2025. As part of cooperation with agricultural tenants (lessees), the principles will be required when cultivating agricultural land and the procedures will be applied to lease agreements. Our own agricultural production will be developed on these principles and procedures from the start of operations.
VERDANT APF GROUP owns 852 hectares of agricultural land and is purchasing additional areas in accordance with a long-term strategy. Tokenization of agricultural land as a modern asset financing tool allows us to purchase agricultural land and apply the principles of sustainability while maintaining attractive profitability for investors.
The Regenerative agriculture program is announced in accordance with the values of VERDANT APF GROUP (responsibility and love for the land).
Thank you for your trust and cooperation.

VERDANT standard and APFC token market price
Dear clients,
we would like to inform you about the development of the market price of the APFC token depending on the development of the book value of the agricultural assets of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
Revenues from the sale of APFC tokens are used to finance the purchase of agricultural assets within the APF GROUP (VERDANT). The profit from the sale of tokens makes it possible to sufficiently cover financial costs and thus stabilizes the management of the entire APF GROUP (VERDANT).
Agricultural assets consist of long-term tangible assets (agricultural land) and long-term financial assets (business shares in projects financed by the group and loans granted to financed projects). These assets can be found in the balance sheet of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. and APF REAL ESTATE GROUP CR s.r.o. The change in the market value of agricultural land is continuously evaluated through expert opinions prepared for us by the expert office XP invest, s.r.o., IČ 28462572 (we published the results of some expert opinions on August 12, 2024 through Novinek).
The current book value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP (VERDANT) reached a value of 1.0 billion. CZK. The market price of these assets represents a reserve for possible coverage of risks arising from the management of liquidity and profitability of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
Agricultural assets are separated from the issuer of APFC tokens of the company APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. due to the management of the risks associated with the own token (price risk, liquidity risk, technical risk of the token, operational risk associated with individual cryptocurrency exchanges).
VERDANT standard
The correlation of the development of the market price of the APFC token and the development of the total accounting value of the agricultural assets owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT) over a comparable period creates the VERDANT standard. The VERDANT standard is expressed by the value of the market capitalization of the APFC token in relation to the total book value of agricultural assets and represents the coverage of the APFC token with real value. With this standard, we reduce the risk of price volatility, insufficient liquidity and the ability to meet all obligations in connection with the holding of the APFC token.
This correlation represents a kind of "gold standard" of the farmland tokenization project.
The correlation is also valid separately for agricultural land owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT). The dispersion of values is dependent on the total value of the measured asset (tangible assets or financial assets).
APFC Token Market Price
The market price of an APFC token is created by the interaction of supply and demand for that token on the respective cryptocurrency exchange. APFC token is currently traded on 11 cryptocurrency exchanges. We are preparing to start trading on the 12th exchange (Dex-trade).
You can follow the resulting market price of the APFC token and its development on cryptocurrency exchanges at: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/apf-coin/ or https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/apf-coin.
Market capitalization represents the total market value of tokens in circulation (market price of a token x number of tokens in circulation). Market capitalization is in direct correlation with the book value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP (VERDANT).
The VERDANT standard therefore means that the market capitalization of the APFC token corresponds, with a permissible deviation, to the book value of the agricultural assets owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
An important aspect for successful trading on large cryptocurrency exchanges is the Institute of Market Makers. It is a specialized entity that performs the following functions for the token issuer and the respective exchange:
APF GROUP (VERDANT) uses GLS Global LLC FZC (https://www.cls.global) for market maker services.
We offer the token on the relevant exchange through the Market Maker. In case of interest in buying a token at the offered price, a market price is created. The management of the market price must correspond to the contractual conditions of the respective stock exchange in order not to damage the good name of the stock exchange and the relevant stock exchange rules.
The task of the Market Maker for the APFC token is to ensure that the market price does not fall below the minimum price that corresponds to the correlation within the VERDANT standard.
The minimum price is set as a support level, which represents the price level at which we expect a reversal of the falling price and below which the market price would have no reason to fall if the VERDANT standard is followed. In this case, the total book value of agricultural assets would be higher than the market capitalization of the APFC token and the price of the token would be undervalued.
The support level is currently set at CZK 18.50/APFC. When this price level is reached, the Market Maker will start buying back APFC tokens from the market out of free liquidity, thus ensuring price stabilization. Token buyback must comply with the terms and conditions of the applicable exchange.
In the event that demand for the token increases and sales of the APFC token through exchanges grow, the market price of the token may be significantly higher than the minimum price in the short term, thereby increasing the market capitalization beyond the VERDANT standard. The funds obtained are kept on the market maker's exchange accounts and serve as additional liquidity for possible token sales and to correct the token price at the minimum price level. We do not consider this phenomenon undesirable, as it generates additional funds for liquidity management, increases the number of trades, increases the token's attractiveness for traders, moves the token higher in the ranking of other tokens and on a specific exchange, and finally generates additional profit from the primary and secondary sale of the token. If the increased price is sustainable in the long term, liquidity will be transferred in favor of the creation of agricultural assets and thus the correlation within the VERDANT standard will be straightened.
In conclusion, it is necessary to state that the long-term application of the VERDANT standard is possible only under the assumption of strict separation of the primary token sale market (direct sale to the group's clients through purchase contracts - OTC) from the secondary token sale market (token sale via cryptocurrency exchanges), which creates the market price . This rule is reflected in the contractual arrangements related to the sale of the token in the primary market and prevents high volatility of the market price and the transfer of liquidity risk to both markets.
We are at your disposal in case of questions.

Information on the activities of the fond APF GROUP CR SICAV a.s.
Dear clients,
in January of this year, we launched the activities of the qualified investors fund APF GROUP CR SICAV a.s.
Currently, the fund is not active and the APF GROUP only covers overhead costs. Projects (BENDIA, purchase of orchards and fruit processing) that were supposed to be financed through the fund were moved directly to the APF GROUP. The reason for the move was the unresolved project assessment methodology, especially risk aspects on the part of the fund manager.
In order to implement the projects, we had to transfer to the APF GROUP. The fund currently has no clients. The only client is the company APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o., which holds investment shares.
In connection with the establishment of the fund of qualified and professional investors APF GROUP EUROPE SICAV P.L.C. the activities of both funds will be linked. Based on the fund's statute, funds will be obtained from the European fund for the Czech fund and agricultural projects will then be implemented. At the same time, following an agreement with the administrator of the Czech fund, already ongoing projects will be refinanced.
We are at your disposal in case of questions.
We will keep you informed about the further development of the project.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.
Karel Mičulka as a guest of the Biznys kafe podcast
Dear clients,
not only about the fact that Czech land is decreasing and its value is therefore constantly increasing, about what determines the price of land and why agricultural land is an interesting investment opportunity, our executive manager Karel Mičulka talked with the editor-in-chief of the central editorial office of Deník Jan Klička in the Byznys kafe podcast. At the beginning of the interview, both gentlemen revealed their favorite quotes related to land ownership.
You can listen to the podcast at this link: https://www.denik.cz/byznys-kafe/apf-group-karel-miculka-zemedelska-puda.html.
We will be happy if you write to us how you liked the podcast or what information you missed in the show. You can send your suggestions to dsosik@apfgroupcr.com.

We would like to inform you that regular monthly interest payments, advance payments for token buybacks and bond proceeds will be paid after the end of the calendar month in connection with the transition to the new CRM (Customer relationship management), i.e. on the 1st working day of the following month. Due to the fact that in the month of November it follows this day, payments can actually be credited with some banks only on Monday 4.11.

This is for any complications.
Thank you for your patronage and cooperation so far.
Market capitalization of the APFC token
Dear clients,
as part of the agricultural land tokenization project through the APFC token, we hereby inform you that the current market capitalization (Market Cap) has exceeded the value of CZK 1.0 billion. Market capitalization represents the total market value of tokens in circulation. The amount of tokens in circulation (sale through the exchange or direct sale) is 56,821,261 pieces. The increase in market capitalization is determined by the growth of the token price while simultaneously increasing the number of circulating tokens.
You can follow the development of the APFC token market price on cryptocurrency exchanges at: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/apf-coin/ or https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/apf-coin
According to the Whitepaper, the basic attribute of the APFC token is that the funds obtained from its sale are used to purchase agricultural land and to finance agricultural projects in the Czech Republic. The value of the APFC token is therefore correlated with the value of the agricultural assets owned by the APF GROUP. The value of the purchased assets simultaneously serves as cover and collateral for the APFC token.
Correlation of the development of the market price of the APFC token (source: CoinGecko) and the development of the total area of agricultural land owned by the APF GROUP (source: APF GROUP) for the comparable period of 2024.
This correlation represents a kind of "gold standard" of the agricultural land tokenization project. In our case it is defined as "VERDANT standard".
The VERDANT standard is expressed by the value of the agricultural assets owned by the APF GROUP and represents the coverage of the APFC token with real value. With this standard, we reduce the risk of price volatility, insufficient liquidity and the ability to meet all obligations in connection with the holding of the APFC token.
The indicated growth of the price of the token on cryptocurrency exchanges (secondary market) has a positive effect on the development of the APF GROUP's economy.
Preliminary financial results of APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. as of 8/31/2024, we published in a post on 9/17/2024. The preliminary results show changes in the amount of total liabilities, the value of equity and an increase in the operating result of the economy. The value of equity as of 31.8.2024 was 1,024,956 thousand CZK.
The expansion to other exchanges from the TOP 30 will continue until the end of this year and is important to support the use of APFC tokens by our fund APF GROUP EUROPE SICAV P.L.C., which will purchase the token as part of the investment strategy.
We will keep you informed about the further development of this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.
Exchange of the Participation product for an APFC token with a redemption obligation
Dear clients,
product exchange Participation (obligatory relationship) in the purchase of APFC token is possible for existing clients of APF GROUP (VERDANT). Part of the APFC token product is a contractual obligation to buy back the token based on the future purchase agreement. The repurchase obligation is secured through a security agent or a lien on specific land and joint and several liability of the companies of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
As part of this product, clients who make the exchange can get a more favorable investment valuation with adequate collateral. The lien on the land is registered in the real estate cadastre in favor of the collateral agenda for the entire duration of the contractual relationship, from the amount of CZK 1.0 million in favor of the client.
If the client uses the option of exchange (swap), he gets a discounted price of the APFC token for the exchange, which is 15.00 CZK/APFC (the current price is around 18.00 CZK/APFC - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies /apf-coin/).
Become a part of the unique agricultural land tokenization project, which is changing the way the agricultural sector is financed.

Tokenization of agricultural land
Dear clients,
an important part of the agricultural land tokenization project through our APFC token is trading on the secondary market (cryptocurrency exchanges).
By placing a token on a cryptocurrency exchange, we support its use, liquidity and creditworthiness. At the same time, we get the market price of the token based on real supply and demand.
We currently trade the APFC token on 10 cryptocurrency exchanges.
In accordance with our long-term strategy, we signed an agreement to list our token on the Toobit exchange (TOP 25) with an average daily trading volume of CZK 15.1 billion and a trust score of 8/10. The expansion to other exchanges from the TOP 30 will continue until the end of this year and is important to support the use of APFC tokens by our fund APF GROUP EUROPE SICAV P.L.C., which will purchase the token as part of the investment strategy.
A fundamental document that is essential for listing a token on the TOP 30 exchanges is the Legal opinion. This paper examines the characteristics of the token and its use in the context of international law. The outcome of the legal assessment has a significant impact on whether the token will be accepted for trading on the relevant exchange.

Preliminary financial results as of September 30, 2024 of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o.
Dear clients,
hereby publish the preliminary financial results as of September 30, 2024 of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o.
The operating profit (EBITDA) amounts to 30,062 thousand CZK. The economic result before taxation amounts to 380,670 thousand CZK. The total net value of assets is 1,896,584 thousand CZK. Of this, long-term assets reached a value of 1,021,447 thousand CZK.
The value of equity is 591,257 thousand CZK.
This year, the changes that were published on July 19, 2024 as part of the capital merger of companies in the APF GROUP (VERDANT) group are already underway.
The positive development of the agricultural land tokenization project significantly affects the management of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. and ensures the coverage of financial costs associated with obligations that are used to finance the purchase of agricultural land.
The company APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. acquired a 51% equity stake in the company APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. At the same time, it capitalized a claim in the amount of CZK 400 million in the form of a voluntary additional payment outside the basic capital in order to increase the equity capital of APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. In this context, APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. the guaranteed annual profit share belongs to APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. in a minimum amount of 10% (the minimum amount even in the case of reporting a loss). The preliminary income from the share as of 30.9.2024 amounts to 423,378 thousand CZK.
The company APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. continuously assumes the obligations of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. up to a total amount of CZK 600 million, which will be gradually amortized, including accessories, in accordance with the agreed maturity from the profit from the sale of the APFC token. The transfer of liabilities is ensured by the Ritter-Šťastný law office. For these obligations, the company APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. continues to guarantee in the form of joint and several liability, however, the liabilities are no longer part of the company's balance sheet. By reducing the total value of liabilities on the balance sheet, the equity of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will be significantly strengthened. The ratio of equity to total liabilities is 45.3% as of 9/30/2024 (as of 12/31/2023 it was 20.2%).
Based on the ongoing sale of investment shares, the equity capital of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will be increased by the end of 2024. by approx. 150 million CZK. A capital increase in the form of a voluntary additional payment beyond the share capital will further strengthen the value of equity and increase the value of the ratio of equity to total liabilities.
We thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.
Collateral Agent
Dear clients,
On August 19, 2024, we informed you through news about a change in the method of securing the contractual obligations of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
The institute of collateral agent is newly introduced into the contractual conditions for all types of contractual obligations. A collateral agent is a legal entity that accepts collateral for contractual obligations on its own account for the benefit of individual creditors. In the event that the company fails to meet its obligations and is unable to ensure the repayment of obligations, the agent may, based on the consent and decision of the creditors, exercise a lien on the purchased land to satisfy the claims of individual creditors. The agent is thus a kind of solidary creditor representing the rights of all creditors.
APF GROUP's Liability Security Agent function is added to secure the interests of creditors and increase the security of the investment.
The security agent is the legal office HKDW HOLASEK s.r.o., attorney's office, IČ 27203182, with registered office at Na Příkopě 583/15, 110 00 Prague 1. (http://www.hkdwholasek.cz).
In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Joint project with INVESTBAY
Dear clients,

The INVESTBAY project focuses on micro-investments in attractive holiday properties within Europe. In the form of crowd-owning, it allows clients to invest in real estate in small amounts. It uses real estate tokenization for investments, similar to the case of our project APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. for agricultural land.
As part of the linking of activities, we have launched a joint sale of the APFC/INVBAY Secured Token Pool product. The funds obtained from the mentioned product are directed 50% to the purchase of agricultural land owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT) and 50% to recreational facilities owned by INVESTBAY. Both tokens provide regular financial income in accordance with the terms and conditions of the product. The token buyback is implemented under a forward purchase agreement and is secured by a real estate lien in favor of the security agent.

Project SOBŮLSKÝ GRUNT
Dear clients,
we already informed you about the start of cooperation with the SOBŮLSKÝ GRUNT project in the Hodonín district.
It is a family farm engaged in extensive cattle breeding. The current breeding consists of over 200 heifers, young bulls and calves.
In the first phase of cooperation, we offered the company a long-term lease of agricultural land owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT) to expand the acreage of pastures and meadows in the districts of Hodonín and Uherské Hradiště. The expansion of leased areas of agricultural land is ongoing.
In the second phase, the joint project BENDIA s.r.o. was created, in which the APF GROUP (VERDANT) has a 25% equity stake, through which we gradually finance the development of the farm. Operating financing in the amount of CZK 10.0 million (for the purchase of calves and fodder) was negotiated for the expansion of the beef stock. Funding has already begun. We expect planned annual revenues from the sale of aged meat in the first year of the project in the amount of CZK 80.0 million.
We are currently starting to collect funds for the purchase of agricultural land in the municipality of Bohuslavice near Kyjova with a total area of 48 hectares. These plots of land will immediately be used as leases by the BENDIA s.r.o. project after acquiring ownership. The total purchase price for the land is CZK 28.1 million.

Joint statement of the executive manager and owners of APF GROUP (VERDANT)
Dear clients, business partners, friends,
The business of APF GROUP (VERDANT) has been built from the very beginning not only on deep knowledge of Czech agriculture, agricultural land and its enormous potential, but also on ethical and moral principles, which are reflected not only in our activities, but are an integral part of our own lives. We therefore take it very personally if these principles are questioned in any way and feel obliged to express our unequivocal position on the matter.
The growth, which exceeded plans and expectations in the first half of this year, was a pleasant surprise for everyone. However, this was clouded by the finding that some of our external collaborators did not act in all cases in full accordance with our ethical principles. Although we made every effort to prevent such behavior from the very beginning, unfortunately it turned out that our real influence on the behavior of the external business structure is significantly limited.
To prevent further potentially unprofessional behavior and situations, we have taken a major step: we have terminated our cooperation with external entities with immediate effect and created an internal sales team whose work we have full control over and which will always act exclusively in accordance with our strategy and principles .
One of the consequences of this decision are - as we state in the introduction of this statement - cases of intentional damage to the good name of the APF GROUP (VERDANT) by some (not all) persons, with whom cooperation has been terminated. We strongly deny that there is anything true in the statements made by these persons, among other things, to the clients of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
In this context, we would like to point out that only the business managers listed on the website are authorized to act on behalf of the APF GROUP (VERDANT). Please always check whether you are in contact with an official representative of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).

The positions in the client portfolios will be gradually closed in the following years, and the ownership of the land will pass to APF GROUP (VERDANT) on the basis of concluded contracts on future purchase contracts. We have been creating these portfolios since 2020.
Agricultural land is purchased as part of the group's assets and included in the client's portfolio in accordance with the long-term strategy. A description of the strategy, an overview of the plots owned by the group and video tours of selected sets of plots can be found in the Lands menu.

Cryptocurrency exchange trading in the TOP 10
Dear clients,
we would like to inform you that the BingX cryptocurrency exchange has had a CoinGecko trust score increased to 9/10. In this context, this exchange appears in the TOP 10 exchanges in the world. Our APFC token has been traded on BingX since 7/16/2024. It is interesting to note that the cryptocurrency exchange BingX is an official partner of the football club FC CHELSEA in London.
This is the first step of the penetration of the APFC token into the TOP 10 exchanges in the world. By the end of 2024, we are preparing to be listed on another stock exchange in the TOP 10.

Agricultural land tokenisation project
Dear clients,
We would like to inform you about the further development of this project of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
The agricultural land tokenization project is divided into the following 3 parts:
1) Fund of qualified and professional investors APF GROUP EUROPE SICAV P.L.C. (VERDANT fund)
We expect the start of the fund's activities in accordance with the relevant European legal standards during October 2024.
The fund manager is AQA Capital Ltd. based in Malta.
The fund will be used to enhance the financial resources of agricultural investors in the Czech Republic. Half of the investment funds will be directed to the implementation of agricultural projects and half will be used for the purchase of agricultural land through the tokenization of agricultural land in accordance with the long-term strategy of the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
By selling investment shares of the fund, we will directly support the sale of the APFC token and the subsequent purchase of agricultural land belonging to the APF GROUP (VERDANT).
The APFC token thus becomes part of a regulated entity that is harmonized according to the European AIFMD directive. The strategy of purchasing the APFC token into the assets of the VERDANT fund is included in the fund's statute.
More information about the fund can be found at www.verdanteurope.com.
2) Cryptocurrency exchanges (secondary market)
As part of further use of the token and its liquidity (monetization speed), we are listed on 9 cryptocurrency exchanges. These are MEXC, BingX, LBank, BitMart, XT.COM, P2B, LATOKEN, CoinW, Biconomy.com.
We have currently signed an agreement to list our token on the AscendEx (BitMax) exchange (TOP 25) with an average daily trading volume of CZK 21.5 billion.
Until the end of 2024, we will continue to strengthen our position in the TOP 25 and we are finalizing the negotiations for listing on the stock exchange in the TOP 10.
You can follow the secondary sale through cryptocurrency exchanges (currently 9) at: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/apf-coin
3) Direct sale of APFC token (OTC - primary market) to clients of APF GROUP (VERDANT)
Clients of the APF GROUP can take advantage of the APFC token by directly buying into their ownership through an over-the-counter (OTC) purchase contract. The funds obtained from the sale of the APFC token are intended for the purchase of agricultural land owned by the APF GROUP (VERDANT). Securing the repurchase of the APFC token by a lien on purchased agricultural land registered in the land registry in favor of the security agent (mortgagor).

NOTICE OF CONSEQUENCES OF BUSINESS TEAM RESTRUCTURING
Dear clients,
as you could read in the previous news from today, the APF GROUP has experienced very dynamic growth in recent months, which in many ways exceeds our long-term plans and expectations. Paradoxically, this rapid growth found us less prepared in the area of maintaining the quality of business processes and managing the too rapid expansion of the business structure. The existing external trading structure has grown to such an extent that it was unable to provide sufficient training for traders, as a result of which unprofessional behavior of some of its members, especially new ones, began to appear.
Of course, we strongly object to any unethical or unprofessional behavior, because our first priority has always been and always will be a satisfied client. We do not intend to risk, in any way, that similar actions should continue to increase unchecked, therefore the management of APF GROUP decided to make a fundamental change - to leave the existing business structure and create a new one. Because this decision required quick and decisive executive action, we faced a slight deviation from the expected trading results at the end of September as a result, which will cause a delay in sending trading returns for a minority of our clients by 1-3 days.
We are fully aware that a similar situation has occurred for the first time and could therefore raise certain doubts. Although this payment delay only affects approximately 5% of our clients, we are notifying and communicating it to all clients to avoid the possible spread of misinformation. We are convinced that the regularly achieved excellent economic results and the positive consequences of business restructuring will clearly justify this minor one-off complication. In the coming weeks, we will also introduce other attractive products that will allow you to further and profitably evaluate your investments.
At the same time, we would like to point out that due to the rapid business growth of our group, independent negotiations may occur, from which we clearly distance ourselves. Only business managers listed on our website https://apfgroupcr.com/en/kontakt/ are authorized to deal with our clients on behalf of the APF GROUP. If anyone else were to offer you APF GROUP products or provide any information about the APF GROUP portfolio, this may be purposeful, fraudulent or manipulative behavior with the intention of harming the interests of our clients and the APF GROUP itself. We have also recorded cases of intentional damage to the good name of the APF GROUP among clients by some merchants with whom cooperation has been terminated. If you personally encounter similar behavior, we will be very grateful if you inform us about it so that we can continuously take steps to protect our clients from similar situations and prevent them.
We thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

APFC token market price development
Dear Clients,
According to Whitepaper, a key attribute of the APFC token is that the funds raised through its sale are used to purchase agricultural land and to finance agricultural projects in the Czech Republic. The value of the APFC token is therefore correlated (correlation) with the value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP.
As an example, we present the correlation between the development of the market price of the APFC token (source: CoinGecko) and the development of the total area of agricultural land owned by APF GROUP (source: APF GROUP) for the comparable period of 2024.
This correlation represents a kind of "gold standard" for the project of tokenization of agricultural land. In our case it is defined as the "VERDANT standard".
The VERDANT standard is expressed in terms of the value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP and represents the fair value backing of the APFC token. This standard reduces the risk of price volatility, lack of liquidity and the ability to meet all obligations related to holding the APFC token.
Definition:
Correlation means a correlation between two random processes or random variables. If one of the random variables changes, then the other changes and vice versa. If a correlation is identified between two random processes, it is likely that they depend on each other.
The gold standard is a way of expressing the value of a currency in a monetary system where the standard economic measure is gold.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.

Cooperation with the INVESTBAY project
Dear clients,
we have already informed you about the establishment of close cooperation with the INVESTBAY project (https://www.investbay.com/o-nas).
The project focuses on micro-investments in attractive holiday properties within Europe. In the form of crowd-owning, it allows clients to invest in real estate in small amounts. It uses real estate tokenization for investments, similar to the case of our project APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. for agricultural land.
APF GROUP supported the project by providing convertible debt (equity participation) and purchasing tokens linked to specific properties.
At the same time, we are preparing to expand the cooperation by mutual support of the sale of tokens of both projects. As part of this cooperation, we will enable APF GROUP clients to purchase the tokens in question with the same security as in the case of APFC tokens. The purchase and securing will be carried out by APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o.
We will keep you informed about the further development of this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and the opportunity to further develop our business activities.
Agricultural land exchange for APFC token
Dear clients,
based on your increasing inquiries and requests for the possible exchange of agricultural land held in client portfolios (real APF GROUP products) for the APFC token, we inform you of the following.
Token exchange (product swap) is possible for APF GROUP clients as part of the token buyback product secured by a lien on the land that is the subject of the exchange.
As part of this product, clients who request an exchange can get a more favorable investment valuation with adequate collateral. The lien on the land is registered in the land registry in favor of the client throughout the duration of the contractual relationship. Unlike normal products, where we currently use the institution of a security agent, in this case, specific land is mortgaged in favor of a specific client (secured creditor).
We already provide other product swaps as standard.
In case of questions, you can contact a sales representative or info@apfgroupcr.com.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.
Sales event "End of holidays"

Market capitalization of the APFC token
Dear clients,
within the framework of the agricultural land tokenization project through the APFC token, we hereby inform you that the current market capitalization (Market Cap) is close to the value of CZK 700 million. Market capitalization represents the total market value of tokens in circulation. As of July 15, 2024, the market capitalization increased by almost CZK 200 million. The increase in market capitalization is determined by the price of the token and the increase in the growth of the amount of tokens in circulation.
The sale of circulating amount of tokens (exchange sale or direct sale) is currently 44,422,122 pieces. The increase in the amount of circulating tokens compared to the amount on 7/15. amounts to 6,766,281 pieces (by 18%).

Change in the method of securing the contractual obligations of the APF GROUP
Dear clients,
due to the significant increase in the number of realized mortgage contracts for purchased land, which are used to arrange security for the contractual obligations of the APF GROUP, and thus also the disproportionate increase in administration on the part of the company and the legal office, we are hereby announcing the introduction of the following measure to prevent the extension of implementation deadlines.
From September 2024, the institute of collateral agent will be newly introduced into the contractual conditions for all types of contractual obligations. A collateral agent is a legal or natural person who accepts collateral for contractual obligations on its own account for the benefit of individual creditors. In the event that the company fails to meet its obligations and is unable to ensure the repayment of obligations, the agent may, based on the consent and decision of the creditors, exercise a lien on the purchased land to satisfy the claims of individual creditors. The agent is thus a kind of solidary creditor representing the rights of all creditors.
APF GROUP's Liability Security Agent function is added to secure the interests of creditors and increase the security of the investment.
In insolvency proceedings, in addition, the security agent has a much stronger position, the whole process is more coordinated and higher yields can be achieved.
Currently, the selection of a security agent (notary, lawyer, auditor, banking institution) is underway.
The contractually anchored joint and several liability of the companies in the APF GROUP will continue to be part of securing creditors' claims.
Drafted and executed mortgage contracts will be gradually concluded and the lien will be entered into the real estate cadastre.
From September 2024, it will be possible to enter into a mortgage agreement for specific plots of land to secure a contractual obligation for investments from CZK 3.0 million.
We are at your disposal in case of questions.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.

Capital connection of companies in the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
The project for tokenizing agricultural land through the APFC token was launched in 2022 and has been gradually financed by the operating results of companies within the APF GROUP. Currently, it has reached a market capitalization of CZK 500 million with a total circulating supply of over 38 million tokens. Additionally, the token is traded on 8 cryptocurrency exchanges within the TOP 30 (including 2 in the TOP 15). In the coming months, it is preparing to be listed on a TOP 10 exchange with an average daily trading volume of CZK 33.5 billion. This will fulfill the strategic goal of the project for the token's liquidity, price stability, and credibility.
Based on these facts, the management of APF GROUP has decided on a capital connection between APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. and APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o.
APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will acquire a 51% equity stake in APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. Simultaneously, it will capitalize a receivable of CZK 300 million through a voluntary additional payment outside the basic capital to increase the equity of APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. From the value of this equity increase, APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. is entitled to a guaranteed annual profit share of 10% (even in the case of a loss). APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. will assume the liabilities of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. totaling CZK 600 million, which will be gradually paid off, including related costs, in accordance with the agreed maturity from the profit of the token sale. APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will continue to guarantee these liabilities in the form of joint and several liability; however, these liabilities will no longer be part of the company's balance sheet. With the assumption of liabilities with the consent of creditors (arranged by the law firm), the total liabilities of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will be reduced, thereby decreasing the company's overall indebtedness.
The proceeds from the sale of APFC tokens will continue to primarily finance the purchase of agricultural land and agricultural projects within the APF GROUP. The above-average profit from the sale of tokens allows us to adequately cover financial costs, thereby stabilizing the operations of the entire APF GROUP.

Market prices for agricultural land in 2023
Dear Clients,
We bring you information on the development of market prices of agricultural land for 2023. Based on the Land Market Report for 2023 published by FARMY.CZ s.r.o., the market prices for 2023 have increased by 2.9% compared to 2022 in the whole Czech Republic. After 2 years of double-digit growth, there has been a cooling on the overall demand side, which is to be expected given the previous periods (the difference is in the length of the period, which depends on macroeconomic conditions).
With this, APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. (APF GROUP) comments on the changes in market prices for 2023. With regard to the locations in which our company actively trades and buys (main production agricultural areas), we provide information on the changes in market prices in each district:
Region / Change % | Market price at the end of 2022 / and at the end of 2023 |
---|---|
Prostějov 19,40 % | 67,- CZK/m2 80,- CZK/m2 |
Přerov 18,18 % | 55,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
Vyškov 18,18 % | 55,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
Kroměříž 25,00 % | 52,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
Brno-venkov 16,66 % | 60,- CZK/m2 70,- CZK/m2 |
Břeclav 15,38 % | 52,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
Znojmo 21,42 % | 70,- CZK/m2 85,- CZK/m2 |
Hodonín 20,00 % | 50,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
Uherské Hradiště 20,00 % | 50,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
These are the average market prices in the localities in question for predominantly arable land with a BPEJ above CZK 10,-/m2 (Decree No.227/2018 Coll. issued by the Ministry of Agriculture), in climate zones 0,1,2,3 and selected land in zones 4 and 6, with a maximum medium slope. All plots are proffered under market conditions.
The market prices are derived from actual transactions during 2023 and reflect the real evolution of market prices in the locations mentioned. In 2023, APF GROUP completed a total of 471 transactions with a total value of CZK 389,559,884.00 and purchased land with a total value of CZK 217,675,643.00 (384.7 ha). These values still show a significant difference in market prices compared to the average market prices for all types of agricultural land and for the whole country.
In terms of further development of market prices, APF GROUP expects a cooling of demand for agricultural land throughout the Czech Republic in connection with the decline in interest rates and inflation rates. However, we also expect a gradual increase in the interest of non-agricultural investors in investing in agricultural land as a suitable way of protecting their money from inflation depreciation, precisely in connection with the decline in interest rates. There will continue to be highly selective demand for specific locations and land with above-average BPEJ. The pace of market price growth will be influenced primarily by further inflation and falling interest rates. The upward pressure on prices on the supply side will cause a decline in demand, which will result in a decline in the overall value of completed transactions. This offers us the opportunity to negotiate more favourable purchase prices for land owned by APF GROUP. Paradoxically, this may result in better appreciation in the annual revaluation of the market value of land than at a time when increased demand is pushing prices up and sellers are unwilling to negotiate prices.
We thank you for your continued goodwill and cooperation to date.

Launch of the fund APF GROUP CR SICAV a.s.

We would like to inform you that as of 15 January 2024, in cooperation with DELTA investiční společnost a.s., we will start subscription of investment shares of the fund APF GROUP CR SICAV a.s. More information on the fund can be found on this page.

APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will continue to provide real estate services for clients, real investments in the form of direct ownership of agricultural land (client portfolios) and secured participation in the purchase of agricultural land. For the sake of transparency, here are examples of APF GROUP's investments in the agricultural sector that will be implemented by the fund and for which the implementation process has already started.
1) Reducing the credit indebtedness of the agricultural company through the direct purchase of agricultural land subject to a mortgage in favour of the financing bank. The purchased land is then leased back to the agricultural company with a long-term notice period (e.g. 10 years).The agricultural company continues to farm the land in question and pays the agreed rent. The income of the Fund in this case is generated on the basis of the rental income and the regular annual revaluation of the market value of the purchased agricultural land.As part of the extension of the cooperation with the agricultural company, the provision of long-term financing for the business is envisaged. In this case, the income of the fund will be extended by the interest received on the financing provided.
2) Capital injection into an operating agricultural company and provision of financing for its business activities (investment, operation). The income of the Fund in this case is the share of the profits of the agricultural company and the interest income from the financing provided.
3) Establishment of an agricultural company (or capital entry) with a tenant farming on agricultural land owned by the Fund. The Fund acquires the business interest, leases the agricultural land owned by the Fund and provides financing for the agricultural company. In this case, the income of the fund is a share of the profits of the agricultural company, the rental income, interest income and the periodic revaluation of the market value of the agricultural land owned by the fund. We will keep you informed of the specific business cases implemented.
Thank you for your trust and cooperation so far.

Results of the APF GROUP owner as a person
Dear Clients,
As part of our corporate value Transparency, we hereby publish the results of the APF GROUP owner as a natural person.
The reported results are from the period prior to the establishment of Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. (25 May 2020) and the subsequent transformation of the activities of the physical All tax liabilities from previous years have been paid. Income from the business comes from real estate activities (real estate brokerage and purchase and sale of agricultural land).
Tax base (line 55 of the Personal Income Tax Return):
2018: CZK 495,069
2019: CZK 3,664,524
2020: CZK 2,392,695
2021: CZK 990,145
2022: CZK 2,214,400
The aforementioned after-tax income was used to finance the establishment and development of Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. In 2021 and 2022, the income from business of a natural person were fully transferred to a legal entity. This answers a common question as to where the funding for the development of the company came from and whether the agricultural land business was already profitable before the establishment of Agrarian Land Fund Ltd.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.
Examples of completed deals in 2019
Dear Clients,
This is in response to frequent inquiries about the resulting gross margins on agricultural land trades executed to cover client returns in real investments or cash management.
We are often asked how it is possible to offer an investment appreciation of 12% p.a. or higher and keep the entire investment model profitable over the long term.
To get a basic idea of what active agricultural land trading can look like, we illustrate examples of our Portfolio Manager's executed trades in 2019. This gives clients a closer look into the "business kitchen" of the company.
We deliberately chose 2019 because of the stagnation of demand and balanced supply, which were reflected in a year-on-year increase in market prices of land across the country of "only" 1.3% (farmy.cz). From the examples of the transactions documented, it is clear that it is possible to achieve a much higher appreciation (gross profitability) than the average annual increase in market prices through proper land selection (parameterisation), detailed knowledge of demand and market prices.
The long-term results are confirmed by the large number of completed transactions, which alone determine the real market price and thus the resulting gross profit. We adapt our trading strategy to the macroeconomic and monetary conditions of the period. However, in the long term, we maintain a gross profitability of 20-30% p.a. and adjust our land selection and entry prices for purchases accordingly. We have already published the gross profitability levels for land sold within APF GROUP for 2021 (29.24%, note gross profitability is calculated on the purchase price of the land). We are currently compiling the results for 2022, which we will inform you about.
There are many would-be "experts" in the market for agricultural land trading and guaranteed "market price experts" or various types of analysts. If someone works in the real estate business, it does not mean that he is an expert in trading agricultural land, unless he specializes in it for a long time and does a high number of real transactions. Often, farmers themselves are not experts in land trading as they only buy land in their action radius and directly from tenants who have no idea what the real market price of the land they are selling to them in this way is. The confrontation with the real market price is then very uncomfortable for them.
So if you are looking for an expert, ask how many deals he has completed and with what results. You can judge by that whether you are getting appropriate answers or just "amateur" assumptions and opinions. The APF GROUP honours the principle that every published figure must be substantiated and therefore realistic.
Practically, we are able to provide you with evidence of every transaction carried out within the Group (purchase contract purchase - purchase contract sale). The total number of trades executed by the Portfolio Manager exceeded 1500 and the total amount of CZK 900 million.
If you have any further questions on the subject, we will be happy to answer your questions.
Thank you for your trust and cooperation.

Modification of the General Terms and Conditions for real products from 1.6.2023
Dear Clients,
We would like to inform you that as of 1 June 2023, new General Terms and Conditions for real products (IZP, DIZP, PDIZP, IP and IPI) will come into force. The modification of the GTC, as previously mentioned, consists in setting the amount of the minimum secured yield (MZV), which is part of the future purchase price specified in the future purchase contract. Until now, the amount of the MFA has been set as fixed (e.g. 12% p.a.). From 1 June 2023, the amount of the MFA will be set as a floating rate depending on the level of the base reference rate. The basic reference rate corresponds to the discount rate announced by the CNB (currently 6% p.a.). Construction of the total amount of the MFA = basic reference rate + risk premium (e.g. 6% p.a. + 4% p.a.). The total amount of the IRR will be determined on the date of signing the General Terms and Conditions and will be valid for the entire duration of the investment.
The full text of the GTC can be found at: https://apfgroupcr.com/en/produkt/
These terms and conditions will reflect real macroeconomic developments and monetary conditions in the Czech Republic.

Joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
Within the framework of the concluded obligations of individual companies in the APF GROUP (https://apfgroupcr.com/en/skupina-apf/), we apply the principle of joint and several liability for these obligations with immediate effect.
In practice, this principle means for the creditors of each company in the APF GROUP that if a company fails to fulfil its contractual obligation towards the creditor, the creditor is entitled to call upon any other company in the APF GROUP to fulfil the company's obligation and the company is obliged to fulfil the obligation jointly and severally. This principle is intended to significantly strengthen the position of the creditor (client) in the contractual relationship and thus reduce the risk of possible future delinquency of an individual company. At the same time, the principle of joint and several liability will be incorporated into all binding contracts.
The APF GROUP hereby declares that the principle of joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP also applies to all previously concluded contractual relationships of individual companies in the APF GROUP.
Thank you for your trust and cooperation so far.

New project within the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
We would like to inform you about another of our projects within the APF GROUP.
We have acquired an unmaintained plot of land registered as arable land in the outskirts of the village of Hněvotín with an area of 645 m2 into the ownership of APF GROUP in May 2022. The land is situated between a development of houses and a secondary paved municipal road. A high-pressure gas pipeline runs through the plot, which does not allow to use the land as a building plot. It was fallow land without trees and shrubs, but with high soil fertility (BPEJ). There was no lease agreement for the land. As an agricultural entrepreneur, we decided to use the land to establish a commercial garden based on natural principles at the lowest possible cost. Our goal is to create a low cost edible and living garden that will be used to grow vegetables, fruits, small berries, medicinal herbs and flowers.

Dear clients,
We bring you information on the development of market prices of agricultural land for 2022. Based on the Report on the Land Market for 2022 published by FARMY.CZ s.r.o., the market prices for 2022 have increased by 13.51% compared to 2021 throughout the Czech Republic.
Agrarian Land Fund Ltd (APF) hereby comments on the changes in market prices for the year 2022. With regard to the locations in which our company actively trades (main agricultural production areas), we provide information on the changes in market prices in individual districts:
District / Change % | Market price at end of 2021 / and at end of 2022 |
---|---|
Prostějov 34,00 % | 50,- Kč/m2 67,- Kč/m2 |
Přerov 37,50 % | 40,- Kč/m2 55,- Kč/m2 |
Vyškov 37,50 % | 40,- Kč/m2 55,- Kč/m2 |
Kroměříž 30,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |
Brno-venkov 50,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 60,- Kč/m2 |
Břeclav 36,84 % | 38,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |
Znojmo 75,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 70,- Kč/m2 |
Hodonín 31,57 % | 38,- Kč/m2 50,- Kč/m2 |
Uherské Hradiště 31,57 % | 38,- Kč/m2 50,- Kč/m2 |
Louny 36,84 % | 38,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |

These are the average market prices in the localities in question for predominantly arable land with a BPEJ above CZK 10,-/m2 (Decree No.227/2018 Coll. issued by the Ministry of Agriculture), in climate zones 0,1,2,3 and selected land in zones 4 and 6, with a maximum medium slope. All plots are proffered under market conditions.
The market prices are derived from actual transactions during 2022 and reflect the real development of market prices in the listed locations. APF executed a total of 370 transactions in 2022 with a total value of CZK 201,790,246. These values show a significant difference in market prices compared to the average market prices for all types of agricultural land and for the whole country.
In terms of further development of market prices, APF expects a gradual increase in the interest of non-agricultural investors in investing in agricultural land as a suitable way of protecting their money from inflation depreciation. There will continue to be a highly selective demand for specific locations and land with above-average BPEJ. The pace of market price growth will be influenced primarily by further developments in inflation and interest rates. The development of the conflict in Ukraine will also play a role, which will be more likely to be reflected in the long-term growth potential of world agricultural commodity prices.
We would like to thank you for your support and cooperation so far.
