Agria to Acquire Rights to Two Proprietary Corn Seeds

BEIJING--(Marketwire - June 11, 2008) - Agria Corporation (NYSE: GRO) (the "Company" or "Agria"), an innovative China-based agri-solutions provider, today announced that it has acquired the production and sales rights to two proprietary corn seeds from NKY Company ("NKY"), a Beijing-based, privately held company. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The proprietary seeds, JKN2000 and JKN120, were originally developed by the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Services ("BAAS"), which sold the rights to NKY in September 2007. The seeds, categorized as a type of fresh sticky corn seed, were developed for human rather than animal consumption.

Fresh corn is a relatively new and rapidly-growing market in China because of its nutrition, taste and ease of digestibility. End products are primarily fresh corn, corn oil, and corn-based drinks and foods, such as corn ham and corn dumplings, for example.
