BUSINESS UPDATE
NEW SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH PROVIDORE GLOBAL
Sea Forest has entered into a supply agreement with Providore Global based in western New South Wales
to supplement 12,000 head of cattle. Under this agreement, the full herd is expected to be rationed with
SeaFeedTM by March 2026. The supply agreement with Providore Global is on standard Sea Forest terms for
a period of 3 years.
With this new agreement, Sea Forest now has arrangements covering approximately 118,000 head of
livestock to be supplemented with SeaFeedTM
.
Sea Forest’s existing customers manage, source cattle from or have supply relationships encompassing over
250,000 head of livestock, representing a strong pipeline of additional revenue opportunities.
SOUTH AMERICA MARKET ENTRY WITH BELTERRA AGROFLORESTAS PARTNERSHIP
Sea Forest has entered a landmark strategic partnership with Belterra Agroflorestas (Belterra), a leading
Brazilian climate solutions company, marking Sea Forest's entry into South America and Brazil. Brazil is the
world’s largest livestock market with approximately 238 million head of cattle and approximately 22
million head of sheep3.
Under this agreement, Belterra will collaborate with Sea Forest to promote SeaFeed™, within their network
of agricultural producers, including Rio Capim Farmers, delivering material emissions reductions and

Forest’s global growth strategy, advancing international leadership in methane reduction efforts, with the
potential to deliver the equivalent of millions of tonnes of carbon emissions reductions across Brazil’s
farming systems.
Brazil is the world’s leading beef producing country, with livestock farming contributing substantially to
the national economy and export revenues. The country has committed to reducing its methane emissions
by 30%4
as part of the Global Methane Pledge, with agriculture responsible for 75% of the country’s
emissions, reflecting a significant opportunity for carbon abatement technologies such as SeaFeedTM.

Sea Forest has also entered into a strategic arrangement with Oisix Ra Daichi Inc. (OISIX), a leading
Japanese food business to grant OISIX exclusive rights in Japan to distribute and manufacture Sea Forest's
