    <p>
      BEIJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2010--Origin Agritech Limited
      (NASDAQ: SEED) (&#8220;Origin&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a vertically&#8211;integrated
      supplier of hybrid and genetically-modified crop seeds in China,
      announced it has acquired a 80.0% ownership stake in Shandong Kunfeng
      Biochemical Limited, a agricultural chemical producer in Shandong,
      China, for RMB 14.96M. The acquisition is a continuance of Origin&#8217;s
      corporate strategy to maximize its portfolio and focus on markets and
      segments where full synergies can be realized.
    </p>
    <p>
      Following Origin&#8217;s divestiture of its minority stake in Biocentury
      Transgene, the company will utilize proceeds to invest in the developing
      agro-chemical industry. The chemical products are not only compatible
      with the genetically-modified (GM) crop seed products, but allow for
      significant cross-selling potential through Origin&#8217;s existing nationwide
      distributor network to 200 million small farms in China. The current
      global agro-chemical industry is roughly US $275 billion while the
      domestic Chinese market presents about US $13 billion market potential.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We believe this quality and accretive acquisition will increase our
      ability to penetrate a market space toward a clear, focused strategic
      path for our company and shareholders,&#8221; said Dr. Gengchen Han, Founder
      and Chairman for Origin. &#8220;Not only are the products compatible and able
      to work together to bring more value to the farmer, but we are able to
      cross-sell these products using our existing distribution network.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Some of the company&#8217;s core products include glyphosate and paraquat
      which possess significant potential in the domestic market.
      Additionally, the production facilities are housed in a national
      chemical industrial park providing reliable system to efficiently scale
      the transport and use of raw materials. Origin continues to seek out and
      invest in attractive opportunities in domestic China and other areas.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;In addition to reducing seasonality and allowing better returns on our
      capital, we believe this has the potential to add RMB 50 to 60 million
      to our revenues in FY 2011.&quot; said Irving Kau, Origin&#8217;s Acting Chief
      Financial Officer. &#8220;With proper marketing and planning, we expect
      potentially 70 products with 3 government certificates by the end of
      2013, including 40 herbicide products, 15 insecticides and 10
      bactericide products.&#8221;
    </p>
