Further Growth Expected in the 2010 Year

BEIJING, Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Agritech, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAGC) ("China Agritech", or the "Company"), a leading national organic fertilizer manufacturer and distributor in China, today announced that it has achieved its 2009 goal of selling 80,000 metric tons of its new organic granular fertilizer products.

The Company successfully implemented its plan to introduce new organic granular fertilizer products during the 2009 second quarter, which not only solidified China Agritech's organic fertilizer branding and geographic penetration in China, but also propelled the sales growth of its classic liquid organic fertilizer. These encouraging results validate China Agritech's earlier decision to complete 200,000 metric tons of granular fertilizer capacity in diversified locations in China, and attract leading partners such as Sinochem and Odyssey Trading to accelerate the Company's growth.

Mr. Yu Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Agritech, commented, "We are very pleased to reach this new milestone as our new granular product expansion progresses as we expected. In addition, we are bullish on the prospects for 2010. As a pure-play organic fertilizer producer in the vast Chinese agricultural market, where green products are encouraged by the government, we believe our further growth is sustainable and rapid."
