agriculture, and advanced crop/energy crop
production.

3. About us
• GM Farming & Agriculture, LLC is An Delaware L.L.C.

has been a project in the making for ten years now. The

4. Problem Identification
• The most important organic crops in Germany (based
on hectares planted) are cereals, followed by
legumes and oil plants. Unfortunately, no data are
available on value, as yields and values of the
different crops can be very distinct from their relative
land surface.
• vegetables and, especially, fruit can have a very high
value but their share of agricultural land surface is
very small.

5. Our solution
• Forty-five percent of all fruits and vegetables sold
in Germany are imported. We will aim to provide
for the domestic organic production of seasonal
and energy crop for the domestic market.
• Make organic product cost effective via bringing
down the cost of labour and increasing the scale
of production at the same time.

6. Idea Validation
• We will Operate the farm on Company owned land and
become a leading supplier of pure crop and cash crop farm
with cereal and maize cultivation
• We will need to Build the farm up to 40 hectares / 98 acres
of land by 2017.
• GMFA will focus on providing quality commercial pure
crops and industry energy crops grown to provide materials
for industrial processing and production of biogas (Maize
culture, most frequently used as energy crop, with a wide
range of biomass yields per hectare from 9 to 30 tons DM).
