Sino Agro Food, Inc. to Partner with Tesco, PLC

GUANGZHOU, China, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sino Agro Food, Inc. (OTC BB: SIAF), is an integrated, diversified agriculture technology and organic food company ("the Company") with principal operations as primary producer, processor, and marketer in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

The Company is delighted to announce that its China joint venture company Qinghai Sanjiang A Power Agriculture Co., Ltd. ("SJAP") has entered into two contracts with Tesco, PLC to become both a supplier and an in-store butcher shop concessionaire of beef and lamb. The contracts became effective June 19, 2014 and run for five years.

Tesco, PLC is one of the largest grocery and merchandise retail chains in the world, operating almost 7,000 stores with revenue of US $120 Billion. On May 29, 2014, Tesco formed a joint venture with China Resources Enterprise, Ltd. ("CRE"), operators of the "Vanguard" retail chain, to create the largest multi-format retailer in China.

Sino Agro/SJAP will provide its own brand of product lines, as well as design for its in-store butcher shops. Supply of beef and lamb will start in major Shanghai Tesco stores, and branded outlets will expand in phases.

More information regarding grand openings, product lines offered, and relevant developments will be forthcoming as it materializes.

The Company's CEO, Solomon Lee commented, "Understanding that retail space within Tesco stores is a guarded commodity, we are gratified by the confidence Tesco has in the quality of our products and our abilities to meet production volumes and Tesco standards. This contract will bring a new level of awareness, stature, and value to the SJAP enterprise."

Sino Agro CFO Olivia Lai observed, "This partnership with Tesco, PLC provides a most cost effective and cash flow effective manner to integrate the distribution and retail levels of SJAP's business model."
