Organic Alliance Signs Produce Supply Contracts Totaling $1 Million Plus; Several More Contracts Anticipated

SALINAS, Calif., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB: ORGC), a global grower and marketer of fresh, organic, and Fair Trade fruits and vegetables, confirmed today the signing of several supply contracts for the Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo varieties of organic mangos.  The Company anticipates the contracts to generate aggregate revenues in excess of a million dollars from sales to the US retail marketplace. 

These contracts are expected to commence next month with the harvesting, packing and shipping of the mangos under the Organic Alliance brand and retail packaging, and to continue through May, 2013.  Similar to the previous supply contracts announced by Organic in 2012, these contracts contain options to renew which provide Organic the opportunity to expand the acreage provided, diversify the crops and increase the dollar volume from the products grown.  In addition to these supply contracts, Organic expects to sign additional contracts for more organic mangos in the months ahead.

"By establishing an organizational structure to directly manage this key produce item for us in southern Mexico, Organic Alliance is making a financial commitment to this region that we anticipate will generate additional growth in 2013," said Parker Booth, CEO of Organic Alliance.
