Land Bank UpdateMonday 03 March, 2008Landkom Intl PlcLand Bank UpdateLandkom International Plc 03 March 2008 3 March 2008 LANDKOM INTERNATIONAL PLC Land bank now over 67,000 hectares Landkom International PLC (AIM: LKI, 'Landkom' or the 'Company'), the Ukrainian producer of high-value oil seed rape and wheat, has achieved its 2007 land acquisition target of 50,000 hectares. By March 2008 Landkom had added a further 17,000 hectares, giving it a total land bank of 67,000 hectares. All the land acquired is in Ukraine and has been inspected and verified as suitable by agronomy experts, Scottish Agricultural College*. The land has been selected in areas which provide good rainfall and soil parameters for the production of oil seed rape and wheat. Richard Spinks, Landkom Chief Executive, commented: 'The land acquisition programme is continuing apace. At the time of our IPO last November, we said we intended to add a further 65,000 hectares in 2008, over and above the 50,000 hectares acquired in 2007, giving us a total land bank of 115,000 hectares by the end of 2008. At our current acquisition rate we are comfortably on target to achieve that goal.'
