Organic Alliance
Announces Plan to Open in August an Executive Sales & Marketing
Office in
Bakersfield, California
Company targeting
large food processors as customers for over 50% of its gross revenues through
multi-carload, multi-year contracts with organic crop growers
PRINCETON,
N.J., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: ORGC - News; formerly NBDL) released details on its plans to become one of the world's leading providers
of USDA certified organic crops to many of the country's leading consumer
packaged goods manufacturers, food processors, grocery, and retail restaurant
chains. The company is also announcing that its sales & marketing headquarters
will open in Bakersfield, CA in August 2008. Bakersfield is centrally located
for organic trading, according to company CEO Tom Morrison.
Consumers
have embraced organic foods as a lifestyle change while the major food
companies and retailers play catch-up to some of the niche organizations
(Whole Foods, etc.) that have focused heavily on organic. There exists
no question as to the strong consumer demand for organic foods with 2007
sales of approximately $19 billion. Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI"), led
by organic farming and industry veteran Tom Morrison, intends to fill a
significant and problematic void facing major food companies such as Kraft,
Unilever, and Sara Lee and mainstream grocery outlets including Costco,
Safeway, and China's Lotus: reliable sourcing of organic fruits and vegetables
from growers. These organizations are struggling to source high-quality,
source-certified, organic produce to be sold as end product to consumers
or to be used as ingredients for a more complete organic food alternative.
OAI
intends to be the primary supplier of organic produce for these companies.
The company believes it can reach this objective because of the leadership
talent and experience of its CEO, Tom Morrison, industry veteran and part
owner of one of the largest corporate farms and organic farming operations
in the world during the late 1990's; the expertise and network of its Director
James Haworth, CEO of Lotus Supercenters in China; and the marketing savvy
of Alicia Kriese, international grocery market veteran. In addition the
in-place organic produce sourcing contract with a Consortium led by Canadian
group Birkden Management, Inc. Birkden Management oversees a large number
of farmers and organic growers. This Consortium of organic farmers capable
of growing over 100 million pounds of USDA certified organic produce and
fruit annually. OAI intends to market and contract-ship these crops directly
to the major package goods manufactures, food processors and retailers.
Preliminary meetings have been held with future customers in each sector,
and based on these discussions, the challenge for OAI will not be the demand,
but ensuring sufficient supply from this and other sourcing arrangements.
These
discussions have formed the basis for OAI's planning for the first twelve
months of operations after the August open of the Bakersfield sales and
logistics center. Several scenarios have been discussed that would give
rise to a need for a substantial number of grower agreements to provide
OAI with USDA certified organic crops worldwide.
OAI's
primary objective is to provide high quality, large shipments of crops
on a long-term contract basis to multiple processing customers and package
goods manufacturers such as Kraft and Unilever. The company estimates that
these contracts will total over one million pounds annually. Based on these
scenarios, our projected product mix, and customer demand, we expect significant
gross revenues during year one.
About
Organic Alliance
The
hallmark of the company is top quality, safe tested and certified organic
at the source -- prior to customer shipment utilizing USDA certification
in conjunction with the in-house OAI Quality Team. Company CEO Tom Morrison
was formerly CEO of Superior Farming of Bakersfield, CA, the largest organic
farming company in the world in the '90s.

Agricultural Plots and Hectares
from the Air
A
hectare is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres.
An
acre is approximately 40% of a hectare.
Organic farmland is distributed across the globe, but the markets are
strongest in North America and Europe, which as of 2001 are estimated to
have $6 and $8 billion respectively of the $20 billion market. Austral-asia
has 39% of the total organic farmland with Australia's 11.8 million hectares,
but 97 percent of this land is sprawling range land, which results in total
sales of approximately 5% of US sales. Europe has 23 percent of total organic
farmland (6.9 million hectares), followed by Latin America with 19 percent
(5.8 million hectares). Asia has 9.5 percent while North America has 7.2
percent. Africa has a mere 3 percent.
Besides Australia, the countries with the most organic area include
Argentina (3.1 million hectares), China (2.3 million hectares), and the
United States (1.6 million hectares). Much of Argentina's organic farmland
is pasture, like Australia. Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, and
the UK follow the United States by the amount of land managed organically.
As of 2001, the estimated total market value of certified organic products
was estimated to be $20 billion. By 2002 this was $23 billion and by 2005
$33 billion, with Organic Monitor projecting sales of $40 billion in 2006.
The change from 2001 to 2005 represents a compound growth of 10.6 percent.
In recent years, both Europe and North America have experienced strong
growth in organic farmland. Each added half a million hectares from 2004
to 2007, for the U.S. this is a 29 percent change.
 
Some examples of large company organic brand commitments
are:
Coke- Odwalla, M&M Mars-Seeds
of Change, Pepsi-Tostito Organic, Tyson-Natures Farm, Con Agra-Hunt’s Organic,
Lightlife, Orville Redenbacher’s Organic, Dole-Dole Organic, Cargill-French
