Copper Ore, the sourcing through scrap yards under joint venture in
Central and South America of HMS Scrap Metal and USED RAILS (R-50 and
R-65), and in the Soybean and Corn markets in North and South America.

strong presence in the global markets. FGR is continuing to expand its
network of new supply channels through investment and joint ventures.
As a merchant of physical commodities FGR is poised to respond to a
wide range of geo-political trends and unexpected developments, and the

opportunities that has emerged with ocean freight. FGR’s, understanding
of these and other developments rests upon our diversity as a company,
our long-term commitment to the physical commodities we own, control and
