  Origin Agritech Limited Receives Grants from Chinese Government to
        Build New Seed Production Facility Outside of Beijing

    BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2007--Origin Agritech Limited
(NASDAQ: SEED) ("Origin"), a vertically-integrated supplier of hybrid
crop seeds, today announced plans to construct a new hybrid seed
production facility in the suburbs of Beijing (Daxing District).
Origin received grants totaling RMB 8.4 million (US $1.08 million)
from the Ministry of Agriculture and Beijing government to establish
this new facility, which is expected to be completed by the end of
2007.

    Dr. Gengchen Han, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Origin,
commented, "One of Origin's primary strengths is a vertically-integrated
business model, and our ability to control quality at all
levels. This state-of-the-art Daxing facility will add capacity to our
existing conditioning plant in the region, and complement our
distribution and breeding operations in this territory. It will also
allow Origin to meet the growing demand for hybrid seeds in central
China. The Daxing facility also represents continued joint support of
Origin by government entities such as the National Ministry of
Agriculture and local Beijing province officials. We remain committed
to delivering the most advanced products and specialized customer
service to the Chinese farming community, and maintaining our leading
position in the local agriculture industry."
