Sino
Agro Food, Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section
36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies
dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Report”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, COVID-19
has caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited access to the Company’s facilities resulting in limited support
from its staff and professional advisors. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its audit and prepare
the Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than May 14, 2020
(which is 45 days from the Report’s original filing deadline of
March 30, 2020).
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic,
the Company will be including the following Risk Factor into its Report:
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our operations
and is likely to continue to do so at least through the third quarter of 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected
our operations and is likely to continue to do so at least through the third quarter of 2020. In particular, we were forced to
cease operations for a period of two months due to quarantine restrictions and safety concerns and as of the present date we are
utilizing only 50% of our employees compared to the period prior to the pandemic. The pandemic resulted in social distancing, travel
bans and quarantine, and this has limited access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors.
These, in turn, has not only impacted our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall
ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, the pandemic has substantially hampered our efforts to provide
our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
