EMAIL DETAILS

My translation - yes, they do but they don't think Rank wants to sell. They are asking if Rank has talked to anyone else about their interest in selling (maybe they want exclusivity?). But, and maybe Arlene can answer, I am not sure Rank wants to sell the farm either. I think they want to sell their "dairy" products to Wahaha but I am not sure they want to sell the farm itself. This is why I think Rank has said to us they haven't made progress with Wahaha. That said, everyone has a price. Again, Arlene has had all the conversations with them but that is my read of Wahaha's email.

Also, Gabriel is teed up and ready to talk re Argentina and Wahaha.

We do have the interests to acquire a farm in New zealand, and so far as we know, Rank Group-the owner of CHH is unlike to sell the farms such intensely. Do you have any information about Rank Group whether it's contacting other investors or not? I think that's important to us to evaluate the project.
