Commercial Buyer Brief — Confidential
Secure Supply
Before First Harvest.
01 — The Estate
About Anthedon
Anthedon is a privately owned 336-hectare agricultural estate under active development in Al Minya, Upper Egypt. It is being built for buyers who need more than a single seasonal trade: diversified crop output, block-level traceability, and a direct commercial route without broker layers.
The estate is currently in pre-planting. Soil conditioning, irrigation infrastructure, and block planning are underway ahead of a projected first commercial harvest in 2027. This brief is therefore not a spot-sales document; it is a forward-visibility document for buyers who want to secure position before production goes live.
Anthedon Farm is registered and operates in Egypt. All contracts are governed by Egyptian law and conducted under Egyptian regulatory compliance.
All estate operations will be managed through Farm OS — our proprietary operational platform — which provides full block-level traceability from planting event to dispatch. Every contracted buyer receives access to real-time harvest data and provenance records for their allocation.
Pre-Production Status. Anthedon is currently in land preparation and pre-planting phase. Contracts signed now are forward-position agreements. No delivery obligations commence before the 2027 harvest season. Early registrations receive priority allocation review and first-term pricing consideration.

03 — Contract Structures
How We Trade
Anthedon offers four distinct commercial structures. Each is designed for a different operational and financial relationship with the estate. All contracts are negotiated directly — no brokers, no intermediaries.
Type A
Forward Supply Agreement
A binding commitment to purchase a defined volume of produce at a pre-agreed price or pricing mechanism, over a fixed term of 1, 3, or 5 years. Delivery obligations begin at first harvest.
- Terms: 1, 3, or 5 years

04 — Pricing
Pricing Framework
Pricing for forward contracts is determined at negotiation and confirmed in the executed contract. We offer two pricing mechanisms:
| Mechanism | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Price | Price per unit fixed at contract execution for the full term. Provides certainty for both buyer and estate. Annual step-ups may be applied by mutual agreement. | Budget-sensitive buyers, long-horizon supply chains |
| Index-Linked | Base price established at execution; adjusted annually against a reference index (CPI, IOOC benchmark olive oil price, or agreed commodity reference). Protects against long-term inflationary drift. | 5-year+ contracts, JV arrangements |
| Spot (Open Harvest) | Market-rate pricing at time of listing. Lot price published with grade certificate. Sealed tender available for larger lots. | One-season buyers, traders |
Volume Discounts. Forward contracts above defined volume thresholds qualify for tiered discount structures. Thresholds and applicable discounts are disclosed at the negotiation stage. Early-registration buyers receive priority allocation review and first-term pricing consideration.
05 — Process
From Inquiry to Contract
Our process is designed to reduce wasted time for serious commercial buyers. Initial contact is light; deeper disclosure begins once mutual fit is established.
Initial Inquiry
Submit an inquiry via the contracts page or directly to hello@anthedon.farm. Include your company name, contact details, crop of interest, estimated volume, and preferred contract structure. A document upload is available for briefs or requirements specifications.
Acknowledgement & NDA
We respond within 5 business days. For substantive negotiations, a mutual non-disclosure agreement is issued and executed before detailed terms or estate financials are shared. The NDA is a standard mutual form governed by Egyptian law.
Commercial Discussion
A call or meeting is scheduled to discuss requirements, volume, pricing, and terms. We share relevant estate data, crop forecasts, and any site information required for buyer due diligence.
Term Sheet
An indicative term sheet is issued covering volume, price mechanism, delivery schedule, payment terms, force majeure, and exit provisions. The term sheet is non-binding and subject to legal review by both parties.
Contract Execution
Final contract drafted, reviewed, and signed by both parties. The buyer's position is logged in our harvest planning system. A Farm OS buyer profile is created for real-time harvest data access.
06 — Legal & Terms
Legal Framework

| Dispute Resolution | Mediation first; arbitration (LCIA rules) if unresolved within 30 days |
| Force Majeure | Standard force majeure clause covering natural disaster, crop failure (partial or total), regulatory action, and acts of war. 60-day cure period before suspension rights arise. |
| Partial Delivery | In the event of partial crop failure, contracted buyers receive pro-rata allocation of available produce with no price penalty. |
| Payment Terms | Net 30 days from dispatch (forward supply); pro-forma (open harvest) |
| Title & Risk | Title passes on payment; risk passes at agreed Incoterms delivery point |
| Termination | For cause: immediate. For convenience: 12 months written notice after the first anniversary of the contract start date. |

Note on Pre-Production Contracts. Forward and JV contracts executed before first harvest are contingent on the estate reaching commercial production. In the event of material delay beyond 2028, buyers may terminate without penalty and recover any pre-paid deposits. This protection is written into all pre-production contracts as standard.
