China Nutrifruit Builds a New Production Facility in Heilongjiang Province

DAQING, China, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Nutrifruit Group Limited (NYSE Amex: CNGL) ("China Nutrifruit" or "the Company"), a leading producer of premium specialty fruit based products in China ("PRC"), today announced that the Company will complete construction of its new concentrate paste production facility in Zhaoyuan, Heilongjiang Province and begin trial production in July 2011.

In May 2011, China Nutrifruit commenced construction of its new multi-purpose concentrate paste production facility in Zhaoyuan city, Heilongjiang Province with an annual production capacity of 9,600 tons. The Company's new multi-purpose concentrate paste facility will cater to the raw material requirements of the Company's new fruit and vegetable powder production facility and will also be sold to its fruit concentrate juice customers. The Company plans to begin trial production with the production of concentrate tomato paste towards the end of July 2011. The total capital expenditure for the construction of this new concentrate paste production facility is estimated to be approximately RMB 90 million (or $13.9 million) and management expects to finance the project through cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations.

"The construction of our new multi-purpose concentrate paste production facility is making significant progress and is on track to begin trial production at the end of July 2011. This facility will come online in time for our peak production season, contributing to our fiscal year 2012 operations," commented Mr. Changjun Yu, Chairman and CEO of China Nutrifruit. "We have conducted extensive research on our new concentrate tomato paste product and expect to begin trial production following a ramp up of production capacity to include other multi-purpose concentrate paste products. Our concentrate paste products will be sold directly to our customers in the food processing industry and can also be used as raw material for our new fruit and vegetable powder production line. Therefore, we anticipate our fruit and vegetable powder production season to be extended beyond the harvest period, positively impacting our future revenue growth and profitability. With the introduction of our new products, including concentrate paste and fruit and vegetable powder, we expect to deliver strong financial and operational performance in fiscal year 2012."
