United Nations Industrial Development Organization Selects Deyu Agricultural Corp. to Help Head New Grain Development Program in China

BEIJING, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Deyu Agriculture Corp. (OTCBB: DEYU) ("Deyu" or "the Company"), a Beijing, China based vertically integrated producer and distributor of organic and non-organic corn and grain products, announced that the Company was recently chosen by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to help direct its new program entitled "Developing Value Chain Pattern for Coarse Grain Deep Processing in Shanxi Province." The project aims to construct ways to alleviate poverty in rural Shanxi and improve the relationships between the area's farmers and Chinese enterprises.

UNIDO's director, Dr. Yuandong Hu, commented, "We believe that we can bring tremendous progress to Shanxi by working alongside Deyu. The Company is one of China's top providers of grain based food products and is well established in Shanxi, but more importantly, Deyu focuses on the welfare of its farmers and employs sustainable farming practices. The Company's research and development efforts provide Deyu's farmers with high quality seeds and advanced cultivation technologies and training techniques to help the farmers attain optimal harvests and as a result, stable incomes. Furthermore, the Company is ecologically friendly, as Deyu does not use pesticides or fertilizers and only utilizes irrigation when absolutely necessary. We appreciate Deyu's approach to its business and employees, and we believe that together, we can advance Shanxi's grain industry."

"We are delighted to be a part of this wonderful cause, to be chosen among so many notable Chinese agricultural companies truly is an honor," said Jianming Hao, Deyu's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "We are very grateful for the recognition of UNIDO and we will strive to uphold our selection by working closely with the project's officials to improve the quality of life in rural Shanxi. Through our operations, we aim to integrate China's rural and urban economies and provide our farmers with adequate income. Still, we aspire to do more. Our goal is to help UNIDO establish a completely resource efficient and environmentally friendly agriculture sector in Shanxi."

Deyu's selection comes on the heels of a successful first quarter which saw the Company more than double its storage capacity from 50,000 to 120,000 tons and experience growth in both its corn and grain product divisions. Deyu credits its success to its exclusive access to more than 109,000 acres of farmland in China - 19,000 of which the Company holds the use rights to - and also its established cooperation network consisting of more than 200 farmers agencies covering more than 150,000 farmers, many of who work in the Shanxi region.
