Rapide Group/Strategy
Most food businesses in the region own a single step. Rapide’s plan is to own several, from the farm gate to the buyer’s warehouse.
The opportunity
Indonesia alone has the fourth-largest population on earth, and its neighbors are growing and moving to cities fast. Governments now treat secure food supply as national policy, while buyers overseas want more of what Asia grows, coffee above all.
Rapide’s view is simple: the companies that control supply, processing and the route to market will capture most of the value. That is where it is putting its effort.

Strategic priorities
Complete the proposed purchase of an established Indonesian coffee processor, then build up buying, processing and export volume.
Design and develop large climate-controlled farms in Malaysia, adding packing and cold-chain capacity along the way.
Acquire an established rice importer and use it as the base for wider regional trading.
Add new commodities, companies and logistics assets across Asia, through acquisitions and organic growth.
Bring more directors onto the Board and report to shareholders as each milestone lands.
Over time, grow into a commodities group of international standing by owning, building and linking businesses that make each other stronger.
How we operate
Every lot of coffee, rice and produce can be traced back to where it came from, and every market’s food, trade and licensing rules are followed.
Material news is filed through OTC Markets Group before it appears anywhere else, and shareholders hear about each milestone as it is reached.

Businesses/Indonesian coffee
A farm-to-cup coffee business, built around an established Indonesian processor and trading house.
Coffee ranks among the most traded farm commodities in the world. Industry analysts expect the global market to grow from US$185.7 billion in 2026 to US$239.0 billion by 2031. Indonesia is the world’s third-largest Robusta producer: USDA estimates it grew about 12.4 million 60-kg bags in 2025/26 and shipped about 8.8 million abroad.
Most Indonesian Robusta is grown by smallholders on small family plots across southern Sumatra and Java, then passes through collectors and processors before it reaches an exporter. Each handoff adds cost and weakens control over quality. Rapide’s plan is to shorten that chain: buy closer to the farm, process and grade the coffee itself, and sell it directly to roasters and importers.
The first step is the proposed acquisition of an established Indonesian green coffee processor and trading house with an operating track record, set out in the Company’s Supplemental Information of October 27, 2026. From that base, Rapide plans to expand upstream into estates and collection, and downstream into roasting, brands and sales to consumers, mainly by acquiring existing operators, so that more of the value of every bag stays inside the group.
Coffee strategy
An ecosystem built around a business that already works, grown by acquiring existing operators and run as one chain.
Add estates, plantation partnerships and collection points close to growers, so supply is steady, traceable and graded from the first step.
An established Indonesian green coffee processor and trading house, with existing suppliers, facilities and export buyers. The ecosystem is built on its track record.
Add roasting and consumer brands, so the group sells roasted coffee to food service, retailers and consumers, not only green beans to other roasters.
Value comes from synergies across the chain: shared sourcing, quality control, logistics and customers, and margin captured at each step instead of passed to middlemen. Describes the Company’s intended strategy; acquisitions beyond the proposed coffee acquisition are not yet identified or agreed.
How it works

Inside the business
Four jobs decide what a bag of green coffee is worth. Rapide intends to do all four itself.
Most of Indonesia’s Robusta comes from smallholders in Lampung, South Sumatra, Bengkulu and East Java. Rapide plans to combine purchases from farmer groups with supply agreements with larger plantations, so volume stays steady from one harvest to the next.
Indonesian Robusta is mostly natural-processed: whole cherries are dried, then hulled to free the green bean inside. Doing this at origin, under one roof, protects quality and cuts the number of hands the coffee passes through.
Graded coffee sells for more than mixed lots. Beans are sorted by size on screens, by density on gravity tables and by color on optical sorters, then graded from Grade 1 to Grade 6 under the Indonesian national standard according to their defects.
Green Robusta is usually priced against the London Robusta futures contract, plus or minus a differential for origin and grade. Rapide intends to sell to roasters, importers and traders under contracts that fix the grade, volume, shipment month and price basis.
London Robusta futures traded around US$3,500 per tonne in April 2026 (ICE). Describes how Rapide intends to run its coffee business; see the forward-looking statements below.
Businesses/Agritech farming
Large indoor farms in Malaysia growing vegetables, herbs and fruit under managed light, heat and water, for supermarkets and buyers around the region.
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) moves growing indoors, into greenhouses and vertical farms where light, temperature, humidity and nutrients are set for each crop. Analysts project the global CEA market to grow from US$90.4 billion in 2026 to US$143.0 billion by 2031, about 9.6% a year.
In 2023 Malaysia produced only 45.4% of the vegetables it ate. Floods, heat waves and a shortage of farm workers make open-field supply unreliable; indoor farms are built to keep producing through all of it.
Rapide plans to develop indoor farming at a scale few in Asia have attempted, and to run every step after the harvest itself: packing, chilled transport and delivery to supermarkets, wholesalers and export customers.
How CEA works
How a climate-controlled farm keeps crops on schedule.
Every input is measured and managed, so the farm can plan its harvests weeks ahead.
Businesses/Rice & commodity trading
A steady, high-volume staple business that gives Rapide a base for wider trading across Southeast Asia.
More than half the world, about 3.5 billion people, eats rice every day, and in Malaysia it is on the table at almost every meal. The country does not grow enough: in 2025 it imported about 1.42 million metric tons, worth roughly US$690 million.
Rapide is looking to acquire an established rice importer and to build regional commodity trading around it, within the licensing rules of each market.
The skills that move coffee out of Indonesia, buying well, shipping reliably and knowing the buyer, are the same ones that move rice and other staples in.
