INTRODUCTION
Scientists from the UN and the University of Washington claim that the
population of the Earth by 2100 will be 11 billion people.
Nowadays, medicine development level allows to decrease the tendency
of population growth, especially in developing countries:

INTRODUCTION
However, the total number of hungry and undernourished people is
impressive: about 900 million people.
And these are only those that are starving, and if we add to them about
2.5 billion people who do not receive all the necessary diet of vitamins
and nutrients and about 1.5 billion without access to clean water, the
picture turns out to be terrifying.
The question is: why there are rather sufficient amount of food, but
there are still a lot of hungry people?
There are different obstacles:
Unfair distribution of food;
Poverty in developing states;
UN food aid theft and lack of desire to solve food problems by local
authorities;
Tough internal situation in states;
Inability to buy food overseas because of economic restrictions etc.

INTRODUCTION
Farmers and international trade
The End Customer receives the same food product by different prices,
depending of the number of mediators, so the End Customer cut off
from Producer.

INTRODUCTION
But, giving the possibility to trade directly with foreign contractors, there
are a lot of barriers on that way for small and medium entrepreneurs:
Internal legislation – taxes, procedures, restrictions etc.;
International rules – Incoterms, international private law etc.;
Need for high-qualified specialists: lawyers, international economists;
Presence of mediators with low purchase prices.

INTRODUCTION
All of that factors form a situation of “narrow neck”, which was described
in works of famous researcher Elijah Goldratt.
The question arises - how to make the farmer able to independently find
customers from other countries, without resorting to the often
unprofitable services and conditions of mediators, or not creating a
whole international trade department in their enterprise?
The solution can be the use of the system and crypto currency Agrolot,
which allows to minimize the costs of mediation and the risks of default
by the parties, which is provided by the presence of a system of smart
contracts.
Using Agrolot, the buyer can purchase products in the quantity and
quality that he needs, rather than adjust to the conditions of large
intermediaries.

easily converted to each another currency. The cryptocurrency is
guaranteed by food inventory.
The main task of our Team is to connect the Producer and the End
Customer directly, rejecting mediators.

AGROLOT Guarantee
The idea of creating this project arose from our practical activities in the
international trade of agro products. Therefore, in the development of
this product, we were guided by the question, whether we worked with
Agrolot? Therefore, we carefully thought out the guarantees for our
potential users:

About AGROLOT
AGROLOT Co. Structure
While building the organizational structure, we taught financial and
PEST risks. Based on this structure, the financial structure was
constructed and all expenses associated with this structure were
calculated. We also paid special attention to the reliability of the structure
and safety of capital for investors.
Financial indicators
During the consultations, we decided for developing OFIR and create the
token, we need to hire a team of 5 people. Term of writing the project is 6
months. Another 6 months will take up testing and commissioning.

About AGROLOT
The results of economic calculations show that 2 years we will not get the
sufficient level of income to cover OPEX. The shortage is equal 2300 th. $.
It is additional amount we need to invest every month according to
OPEX.
We assumed that the number of operations will increase gradually, and
commensurate with the recognizability of AGROLOT and its
opportunities (Scheme 1. Transactions). Average amount of transactions –
3-5 000 $. It was planned to get 1-1,5% AGROLOT fee from all turnover.

About AGROLOT
When calculating the project's financial indicators, we were guided by an
organizational structure that, in our opinion, will allow us to effectively
manage customer requests and accompany transactions. The key articles
of the first three years are the salaries of IT staff and maintenance
personnel, marketing budget and communications.
According to our calculations and cautious estimates, the project will
begin to pay for itself for 3 years of its existence (Scheme 2. Return on
investments).

Land Bank
Land bank will be created to reinforce the volume for the market, also it allows
to get an additional income for the company and investors.
The land that we will buy will be planted with the most popular crops,
sunflower, corn, wheat, etc.
The planned area of 50 thousand hectares is situated in the South of Ukraine
(Zaporozhye, Kirovograd, Odessa, Kherson, Nikolayev regions) of $1500 per
hectare (rent for long term periods).
This price includes equipment for the processing of land, personnel wages and
harvesting equipment.
The amount of money for this project needs $75 million. The first part will go
from the fourth presale and the final stage will be from the last fifth presale.
The profit of our Land Bank will be divided into all holders of tokens in
percentage terms.

Why Ukraine?
Agriculture is one of the main fields in the economy of Ukraine due to its
climate and demographic reasons (the density of population in the rural
areas in Ukraine is quite high). Ukraine occupies the third place in the
world in the corn export, fifth place in the wheat export.
Agricultural land in Ukraine is owned by individuals, and leased to
agricultural companies on a three- or five-year basis.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine prolonged the moratorium till the end of
2017 on the land sale that has agricultural function. It is impossible to sell
agricultural land that is owned by the government now. The citizenry of
Ukraine will be allowed to sell the agricultural land only in the beginning
of 2019. Now it is possible only rent the agricultural land for 50 years.
42 million hectares are used for agricultural activities. About 80 percent
of the agricultural area is arable land, two-thirds of it the agriculturally
rich black soil (chernozem).The average price by regions is about
$500-1000.
Cost of investment in Ukraine’s farmlands is the lowest in Europe while it
provides the highest return potential given the high soil fertility and
unrealized agro-ecological potential of Ukraine’s soils. The cost of
investment is composed of the lease rights acquisition cost, annual lease
fees and annual cultivation (actual farming operation) costs.
Optimal investment cost in Ukraine’s agricultural land is one of the
lowest at USD 600-800 per hectare compared to Americas’ (USA and
Argentina) USD 4,000+, and Western European level of USD 12,000+.
Fast fact: Ukraine has 1/4 of all stocks of black soil (or chernozem) on the planet.
Black soil with proper handling gives the greatest number of crops and
considers as the best land for agriculture.

After presale conditions
After the 5th presale (10 million tokens, will be sold from 5 dollars with a
rise from the sale of every 200 thousand by 10 cents), 70% of the collected
funds will go to the Land Bank, 30% to the OFIR coin fund, to ensure its
value to USD, to connect at least 100 online exchange points around the
world, we ourselves can buy them from customers for $ 10, naturally with
the commission, about 1-2%. Plus, for the exchangers, a guaranteed fund
will be created in the public domain so that they can see that the coin is
tied and secured with assets.
OFIR coin
OFIR (Operative Food International Register) is a coin on based on a
smart contract, with its algorithm, we need for the trading site
agrolot.com.
It will be calculated by our customers among themselves, each seller or
buyer will have their own digital signature, they will sign a smart contract
between the seller and the buyer. The OFIR coin will be pegged to the
currency of USD, EUR, it will be worth $10.
We are planning to issue 300 million of coins, with an option of extra
issuing.
This coin will be sold exclusively on the domestic exchange or on a lot of
exchangers around the world, it can be bought for any currency, cash, or
for various payment systems, or for cryptocurrency.
OFIR will not be traded on external exchanges in order to avoid
manipulation with the price, we will introduce it into other projects, and,
possible, we’ll propose it to other projects, as the unit of account.
OFIR will be backed up using the funds of 3th presale, and also by the
smart contracts of customers.
