BEIJING, Sept. 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Agritech, Inc. (OTC:CAGC) (BULLETIN BOARD: CAGC) ("China Agritech"), one of the largest liquid compound organic fertilizer manufacturers in the People's Republic of China (PRC), today announced that its new facility in Beijing, opened September 20, 2006. The facility serves as the primary syrup concentrate production center, converting factory and research and development (R&D) institute. The syrup production center has capacity for 5,000 metric tons, and will supply each of the new regional facilities the company plans to open over the next several years. The converting factory, which is where the fertilizer formulas are customized to the local region and plants, has capacity for 2,000 metric tons and will serve the Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi provinces. This region comprises 19.5 million hectares, or 15%, of China's arable land and uses 8.5 million metric tons, or 18%, of the total fertilizer used in China each year. China Agritech already has nine regional sales centers established in this region. The relocation of the Company's R&D center to Beijing is a significant step in establishing China Agritech as a national company in the PRC. The new location allows for better communication with important government agencies, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, which should help expedite the expansion throughout China and support the company's R&D initiatives. "We are very excited to have reached this critical milestone as we move to become a national company in the PRC and the leading national brand in liquid compound organic fertilizer. We initiated our expansion earlier this year with the opening of our Anhui facility in July and plan to continue building new facilities as we strategically target new regions in China and internationally," commented Mr. Chang, CEO of China Agritech. China Agritech plans to open additional converting facilities in Xinjinag and Chongqing by year-end. Once all four facilities are operational, the company will have capacity for 13,000 metric tons, a 160% increase in capacity from the end of 2005. Every 1,000 metric tons of additional converting capacity equates to approximately $7.0 million in potential annual sales.
