Analysts’ Estimates
On July 16, 2009, AgFeed Industries, Inc. announced the formation of a joint venture between AgFeed
International Protein Technology Corporation and M2P2, LLC, a leading US hog production and industry
management consulting company.
Dr. Songyan Li, AgFeed's Chairman, commented that, "We are pleased with the results of operations for the first
quarter of 2009 in spite of tough market conditions. Our year to year margins suffered due to external inventory
hangover, a mild macro decline in the economy and the higher cost of corn and soy which forced our production costs
to rise. The recent H1N1 flu had some effect on our businesses but the Chinese government has taken aggressive
measures to curtail this problem in China. Hog prices will continue at low levels until late summer and I believe prices
will begin to climb by September as the Chinese economy accelerates."
Junhong Xiong, CEO commented, "China's adoption of the Food Safety Law which goes into effect on June 1,2009
will enhance our animal nutrient business by removing competing substandard products from our market. As a feed
operating company we have received 'Green Certification' for our 'BEST' label pre-mix products from the Minister of
Agriculture. This combination of the new law and green certification should propel our sales in 2009 and beyond."
Gerry Daignault COO added, "We have made great headway in the last few months investing in AgFeed's science-
based genetics programs and standardizing production practices. These plans will result in increasing the sow birth
rates over the next two years (2010-11) to be in position to sell 2,000,000 hogs in that period while also improving
other key production metrics. AgFeed is in the final stages of completing the construction of the nucleus farm near
Wuning China and will stock the farm with pure lines in the third quarter. This farm will be at the top of our genetics
pyramid and will support our future genetics programs. Hypor, our genetics partner, has provided us with a great deal
of support in planning this farm, including design, stocking plans as well as maximizing the benefits across our
production system."
