FORAFRIC GLOBAL PLC SEEKS STRATEGIC EXPANSION INTO DEFENSE, FOOD SECURITY AND ENERGY AND ADJACENT HIGH-GROWTH SECTORS

The Company intends to collaborate with leading international defense companies specialized in state-of-the-art advanced defense and security technologies including unnamed and counter-unnamed system

Forafric Global (NASDAQ:AFRI, or the "Company")), a leading vertically integrated agribusiness serving Africa, today announced a strategic expansion plan beyond its core agribusiness operations to position itself at the intersection of three high-growth sectors: food security, defense and energy infrastructure. This shift is designed to broaden the Company's role within sectors that are increasingly central to economic resilience, national security and long-term development and ultimately expand its revenue base, strengthen its long-term growth profile and leverage its established operational footprint across Middle East, Africa and international markets.

Defense

In the defense sector, the Company intends to explore and pursue a partnership approach focused on artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicle and anti-drone laser applications, and advanced defense technology. By collaborating with established joint venture partners who possess proven technologies and capabilities, the Company aims to position itself as a regional platform for the deployment and commercialization of these systems. The Company is currently evaluating several international collaboration and joint venture opportunities and expects providing further information as these opportunities develop.

Food Security

In food security, the Company intends to broaden its role across the agricultural value chain by expanding beyond its traditional milling operations into higher-value activities such as origination, trading and distribution. The Company aims to improve supply chain resilience and capture additional opportunities, while continuing to support food security objectives in its core markets.

Energy

In energy, the Company is evaluating opportunities that align with growing regional demand for reliable and scalable power solutions. The Company sees potential to participate in projects that support industrial activity, including its own operations, while also contributing to broader infrastructure development.

The Company has begun assessing a pipeline of opportunities across all three sectors and expects initial initiatives to be executed through joint ventures, partnerships and selective investments, with a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Further announcements, including details of specific projects, partnerships and anticipated timelines, are expected to be made as developments are finalized.

Strategic Rationale

The Company's expansion strategy builds on its existing supply chain infrastructure, commodity sourcing capabilities and long-standing regional partnerships. With an established presence in key markets, the Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in sectors that are increasingly central to national and economic security. Food security, energy access and defense capabilities are becoming more interconnected priorities globally, particularly across the MENA region and International Markets where demand continues to grow and where the Company has established relationships and has developed meaningful operating experience.

The Company also announced that antitrust approval has been obtained from the Moroccan antitrust commission in connection with the previously submitted proposed transaction with Cap Holding SA ("Cap Holding"), a Moroccan industrial group. In the proposed transaction, Cap Holding may obtain a controlling interest in Forafric Maroc SA, an indirect subsidiary of the Company. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company is in the early stages of evaluating a potential change to its corporate name as part of its broader strategic evolution.
