<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Company to Conduct Conference Call Monday, July&nbsp;21<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">st</SUP> at 9:00am ET </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Newport Beach, CA &#150; July&nbsp;18, 2014 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) today announced that lower than normal purchasing of corn inputs
and reduced production levels at the Company&#146;s manufacturing facilities will affect second quarter 2014 financial performance. Net sales for the second quarter of 2014 will be approximately 21% below those of the comparable period in 2013, and
reported net earnings are expected to be near a break-even level. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As was reported by the Company previously, surplus inventory of corn products in the
agriculture distribution channel has resulted in significantly lower re-stocking procurement from manufacturers. Many of American Vanguard&#146;s industry peers have similarly acknowledged reduced sales of their corn products in 2014 due to this
sluggish procurement pattern. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of American Vanguard, stated, &#147;This downshift in corn input purchasing accounts for
our year-over-year second quarter revenue decline. While we believe the fundamental demand for AMVAC&#146;s corn products remains solid, some purchases that would have ordinarily been realized in this year&#146;s second quarter have not
materialized. Additionally, as we have indicated in prior public disclosures, reduced production of these products in our manufacturing facilities has resulted in unabsorbed fixed factory costs which negatively impacts current period
profitability.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute continued: &#147;We believe that channel inventories have been reduced significantly this spring and that more
normal purchasing patterns are likely to resume later this year and into the pre-planting months of 2015. Our continuing sales of SmartBox closed delivery equipment suggests that an increasing number of corn growers intend to use our granular soil
insecticides. Additionally, we have introduced the first of our liquid soil insecticides Xpedient<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> which broadens our market penetration and provides an economical solution for acreage that
has lighter soil infestation pressure. Rounding out our offerings for corn, we continue our co-marketing relationship with Monsanto to encourage the use of our Impact<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> post-emergent herbicide
to bolster the efficacy of Monsanto&#146;s Roundup<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> glyphosate brands.&#148; </P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute concluded: &#147;We continue to expand our solid participation in other key crops, notably
potato, cotton and numerous vegetable&nbsp;&amp; fruit markets. Our expansion initiatives continue internationally, in the non-crop segment of our business and with the pursuit of both existing product acquisitions and new product development. We
are undertaking cost reduction programs to right-size our manufacturing function with the product demand that we are forecasting. We have trimmed our operating expenses and will remain disciplined in our capital expenditures. With the support of our
banking group we have amended our credit agreement to ensure that the company has sufficient working capital for current operations and future growth. We expect that our sales revenue will improve from current levels as we approach the 2015 planting
season and rising factory recovery rates during 2015 should allow our earnings performance to improve.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Conference Calls </U></B></P>
