BBM • MARCH - MART 2025 72 to access safe and healthy food at affordable prices. We are focused on expanding our presence in the Middle East and aim to establish operations in key locations, particularly along major Arabian Sea ports. We are also continuously expanding our operations to meet growing demand. Last year, Al-Hazaa Group expan- ded many of its existing facilities and increased their pro- duction capacities. NAVIGATING MARKET VOLATILITY Every journey comes with its own set of challenges. What are the biggest hurdles your company faces in today’s market, and how are you turning them into op- portunities? One of the biggest challenges we face is market volati- lity, particularly in wheat prices, which fluctuate daily. Fre- ight and shipping costs are also unpredictable and subject to many challenges due to some geopolitical tensions. To mitigate these risks, we have diversified our grain sour- cing strategies and maintain strategic reserves across all our locations. We also have very strong relationships with our suppliers, which helps us a lot in planning our future purchases. Additionally, our investment in renewable energy has helped reduce operational costs, making our business more resilient in the face of economic fluctuations. Karşılaştığımız en büyük zorluklardan biri piyasa dalgalan- maları. Özellikle buğday fiyatları günlük olarak dalgalanıyor. Ayrıca, taşıma ve nakliye maliyetleri de öngörülemiyor ve bazı jeopolitik gerginlikler sebebiyle pek çok zorlukla karşı karşıya kalınıyor. Bu riskleri azaltmak için, tahıl temin stra- tejilerimizi çeşitlendirdik ve tüm lokasyonlarımızda stratejik rezervler tutuyoruz. Ayrıca, tedarikçilerimizle çok güçlü iliş- kilerimiz var, bu da gelecekteki alımlarımızı planlamada bize büyük kolaylık sağlıyor. Buna ek olarak, yenilenebilir enerjiye yaptığımız yatırım, işletme maliyetlerini azaltmamıza yardımcı oldu ve bu da işimizi ekonomik dalgalanmalara karşı daha dayanıklı hale getirdi.
