                 Origin Agritech Limited Upgraded to
                     Nasdaq Global Select Market

    BEIJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2007--Origin Agritech
Limited (NASDAQ: SEED) ("Origin" or "the Company"), a
vertically-integrated supplier of hybrid crop seeds in China, today
announced this it has qualified for listing on the NASDAQ Global
Select Market(sm) as a result of meeting NASDAQ's most stringent
listing standards. Origin's common stock was transferred to the NASDAQ
Global Select Market at the opening of business on June 26, 2007.
Origin's common stock had been listed on the NASDAQ Global Market
prior to this upgrade.

    Companies listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market must meet
financial and liquidity requirements that are higher than those of any
other market. The tier incorporates NASDAQ's world-class corporate

    The Company is honored to have qualified for this top-tier
listing. We are currently benefiting from a vertically-integrated
business platform that includes one of the most robust hybrid seed
portfolios and pipelines in China, the country's largest production
capacity, national distribution, a sound financial position, and a
rationalizing market. We are hopeful that our inclusion in the NASDAQ
Global Select Market will increase Origin's market visibility as we
continue to execute on our strategic growth plan to become the largest
hybrid seed company in China.
