10 Smithfield Romania Growth Plans 1. First step of growth in pork production is slaughtering of more than 2 m hogs in Source hogs from SFD integrated farms and by purchasing on the free market 3. Develop production of value added products to complete the vertical integration model 10

11 Opportunities to Grow Together with Smithfield Romania s Integrated Model 1. Contract Grower Producer 100% integrated into SFD 2. Contract Grower Producer buying the inputs from SFD and selling back the pigs to SFD for a market value 3. Independent producer selling market hogs to SFD at market value 11

12 Contract Grower Producer 100% Integrated into SFD Model Smithfield Romania: Supplies the pigs Continues owning the pigs & market risk Provides feed, Vet services, etc. Provides procedures & training - Other as needed (e.g. permit assistance) Contract Grower: Takes no market risk and receives predictable income Has no cash requirements Provides assets, staffing & utilities Responsible for animal care, maintenance, slurry & permits Contract Summary: Long term contract (up to 10 years or more) Grower payment depends on performance - Fixed base payment - Bonus payment based on productivity 12

13 Contract Grower Producer Buying Inputs from SFD and Selling Market Pigs to SFD Smithfield Romania: Supplies sells to the grower: pigs, feed and medication Provides procedures & training Other as needed (e.g. permit assistance) Contract Grower: Takes the risk of market volatility Buys inputs from SFD and sells market pigs to SFD, all at market price Offsets the cost of inputs for the cost of the pigs Has low cash requirements Contract Summary: Long term contract (from 1 to 10 years) Market value is set based on the local prices 13

14 Independent Producer Selling Market Hogs to SFD Smithfield Romania: Long term buyer of your hogs Trustworthy partner Independent Producer: Has secured and stable market for the hogs Can take advantage of any existing synergies with the own business Producers takes the risk of market volatility Contract Summary: Potential contract for part of the supply (short term) Market value is set based on the local prices 14

15 Other Opportunities in Romania 1. EU is financing farm construction from 50% to 90% 2. Smithfield can provide parcels for farm construction 3. Smithfield has significant experience in the permitting process 4. State is currently offering financial aid to farmers for improved animal welfare 15
