Seeking Alpha: AGT Food And Ingredients Is An Underappreciated New Growth Story

I've liked AGT Food and Ingredients (previously known as Alliance Grain Traders) (OTCPK:AGXXF)(AGT.TO) for a while now, but I didn't expect to see the 40%-plus move in the stock since my last article in May of 2014. Since that article, though, management has taken some noteworthy steps to further the company's ambitions in value-added processing, food, and ingredients - all of which does improve the company's future growth prospects and current fair value.

There are still some fundamental truths about AGT that some investors won't like - the ADRs aren't very liquid (and even the Canadian shares aren't highly liquid), this is still a competitive commodity-like business with thin margins, and issues like weather, international trade policy, and logistics can all influence results. All of that said, I think this is an underfollowed and undervalued story in the food space and I think the new direction of the company can lead to worthwhile returns for more aggressive investors for years to come.
