<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>STRATEGIC COLLABORATION TO DRIVE SIMPAS PRECISION APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Newport Beach, CA &#150; August&nbsp;21, 2017</B> &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary AMVAC
Chemical Corporation has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Trimble Inc. The two companies are working toward a definitive agreement which will grant Trimble Inc. global distribution rights for the patent-pending SIMPAS&#153;
prescriptive application equipment system developed by AMVAC. The two companies expect to complete the SIMPAS distribution agreement by the end of 2017. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The <B>S</B>mart <B>I</B>ntegrated <B>M</B>ulti-Product <B>P</B>rescription <B>A</B>pplication <B>S</B>ystem (<B>SIMPAS</B>) is a multi-product variable rate
system that can be controlled by a Trimble display to automate and vary up to three inputs across a field. SIMPAS application equipment makes it easy to prescriptively apply multiple, in-furrow dry and/or liquid products (insecticides, nematicides,
fungicides, nutritionals and/or biologicals) while planting, enabling farmers to apply the right product, at the right time, at the right place, at the right rate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the future distribution agreement, Trimble&#146;s Vantage distribution network will enable the easy installation and servicing of the SIMPAS technology
throughout North America and across other global markets. Through the use of Trimble application control and software integration, farmers will experience SIMPAS compatibility with a wide range of precision agricultural equipment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bob Trogele, chief operating officer of AMVAC commented: &#147;Combining the low-dose-rate accuracy of the AMVAC-designed SIMPAS application equipment with
the strengths of Trimble&#146;s precision guidance controls and farm management solutions is the first step toward optimum stewardship of in-furrow applied crop inputs. Delivering SIMPAS equipment and connectivity to farmers through the same network
of Trimble Vantage distributors that support the existing fleet of Trimble agricultural equipment, ensures each SIMPAS system will be backed by people whose primary mission every day is to make precision technologies work at the local farm
level.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Darryl Matthews, Trimble senior vice president commented: &#147;The farmer will be able to control and manage multiple inputs across his
field from the convenience of his cab with the SIMPAS application equipment and a Trimble display. Making sure SIMPAS as-applied data is easily integrated into the Trimble Ag Software platform closes the loop to ensure farmers and their trusted
advisors can easily access, share, and analyze the data that&#146;s created when products are applied using SIMPAS equipment.&#148; </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Newport Beach, CA &#150; August&nbsp;23, 2017 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary AMVAC Mexico
Srl&nbsp;has completed the acquisition of certain selective herbicides and contact fungicides sold in the Mexican agricultural market from Syngenta AG. This divestment results from Mexican regulatory authority COFECE&#146;s resolution dated as of
April&nbsp;7th, 2017 related to the acquisition of Syngenta AG by China National Chemical Corporation. The transaction includes seven branded selective herbicides for sugar cane and eight contact fungicide brands. The terms of the acquisition were
not disclosed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Eric Wintemute, Chairman&nbsp;&amp; CEO of American Vanguard Corporation, parent company of AMVAC Mexico said, &#147;The acquisition of
these products continues the successful track record of providing important solutions to farmers worldwide. AMVAC Mexico has been successfully operating in the Mexican crop protection market for over 20 years and has been steadily expanding its
presence in the market. These newly acquired products have enjoyed sales in the range of $8 million to $10 million in the recent past, and we expect to build upon that foundation going forward. The addition of such trusted and proven formulated
products to AMVAC&#146;s portfolio will complement and strengthen our existing herbicide and fungicide offerings.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About American Vanguard
