Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will provide fertilizer products to certified coffee bean farmers in Yunnan province, who sell beans to Nestle (China).

To purchase fertilizer in the Direct Program, participating farmers will make down payment toward the purchase price, and Nestle (China) will endorse the qualification of the participants for the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will roll out the direct sales of its fertilizers to all certified farmers for Nestle (China) throughout China.

In addition to selling fertilizer, in the Direct Program, the Company will also offer training sessions to the farmers to improve their use of fertilizer with best practice, and provide customer support to the farmers during the crop's growth.

"We are excited to work with Nestle (China) under the framework of this agreement," stated Mr. Tao Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Office of China Green Agriculture. "This may provide new engine to the Company's business growth. We are confident that our quality fertilizer will attract more customers and drive our business to new progress in the future."
