Breaks Ground on New R&D Facility Company Receives Land-Use Right for R&D Expansion in Shaanxi Province XI'AN, China, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Green Agriculture, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CGA; "China Green Agriculture" or "the Company"), a leading producer and distributor of humic acid ("HA") based compound fertilizer through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd., today announced that it has broken ground on its new R&D facility and has received a certificate of Land-Use Right for approximately 88 acres of land granted by the People's Government and Land & Resources Bureau of Hu County. This certificate was issued by the PRC government on August 13, 2009 and delivered to the Company on September 2, 2009. The land use certificate is valid for 50 years, ending August 13, 2059. "We are pleased to have achieved this milestone within such a brief period of time since the closing of our public offering on July 24, 2009," stated Mr. Tao Li, Chairman and CEO of China Green Agriculture. "As previously announced, we intend to use a majority of the net proceeds from our recent financing for our R&D expansion. We are confident that we will achieve all key milestones in a timely fashion and anticipate that the new R&D facility will be completed by the second quarter of calendar year 2011. China Green Agriculture currently operates a 137,000 square meter R&D facility (with six intelligent greenhouses over 39 acres), which can simulate diverse natural environments and allows the platform to experiment and test new product ideas. With majority of our field testing activities taking place within the company's advanced greenhouse facilities, the company is able to effectively manage production and quality control aspects. Expansion of China Green Agriculture's R&D facility is key to the company's market strategy of rapid product development and increasing market share for its products. In addition to the development of new products, R&D is directly involved in generating profits, which helps to normalize earnings and reduce seasonality. Many flowers and vegetables produced during the experimentation and testing process are sold to high-end supermarkets and airline companies, turning its R&D activities into a profit center. During the last four quarters, agricultural products contributed 17.9% and 13.6% in the total sales and gross profit, respectively. In order to further strengthen its R&D base to support the rapid capacity expansion, China Green Agriculture recently announced plans to build 12 new greenhouses over an area of about 88 acres. This is expected to increase the company's ability to develop new products and could be used to support its efforts from the existing fertilizer business into cross-selling opportunities such as pesticides and herbicides.
