Delta Technology Holdings Limited Moving Toward Production of Product to Prevent and Cure Crop Diseases

ZHENJIANG, China, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Technology Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: DELT) announced today it is moving forward with a new product to prevent and cure crop diseases.  It has been estimated that more than 40 percent of the world's most important food crops are simply lost each year to disease. Also, billions of dollars are spent annually to alleviate this loss of food and much of that money is wasted on products that are simply not reducing this tremendous loss.

"The global population is growing rapidly and reducing this loss of food crop to diseases could be one of the most important accomplishments for a hungry world," said Xin Chao, Chairman and & CEO of Delta Technology holdings Ltd. "We anticipate mass producing a product by 2017 that is both safe for humans and the environment."

Delta Holdings recently filed its financial results (6K for a foreign entity; www.sec.gov)  for the final six months of 2015. "The report shows that Delta Holdings is making an excellent decision in moving from aspects of its business that were badly harmed by the slowdown in China's economic growth and into a focus on production of chemicals that are needed worldwide. We are repositioning Delta into a biotechnology company with great potential in invention and development of products for the agricultural sector. We will keep our investors advised as we move forward on this new, exciting path," Mr. Chao said.
