AgFeed Experienced Record Earnings in 2007, Targets a Total of 400,000 Hog Production in 2008 Through Strategic Acquisitions

SHANGHAI, CHINA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jan 29, 2008 -- AgFeed Industries, Inc. (NasdaqGM:FEED - News) (website: www.agfeedinc.com), a market leader in China's premix animal nutrition and hog raising industry, announces today that the Chinese government has designated the hog raising sector as an income tax exempt industry due to hog shortage and the government's policy that helps hog farmers generate greater incomes. Unless exemptions are available by law, China has a flat corporate tax rate of 25% on earnings.

Songyan Li, PhD, AgFeed's Chairman commented: “In 2007, AgFeed experienced record earnings growth from our premix feed business. In 2008, we expect to derive the majority of our revenues from the hog raising business while we continue to expect high growth in our feed segment. Management believes that AgFeed will benefit from record high hog prices in 2008 due to rising consumer income levels and estimated strong demand for premium priced lean and safe meat associated with the coming Olympic Games. We are currently selling our meat hogs at approximately $221 each with average net income margin of approximately 37%, before deducting minority interest, from our majority owned (51% to 100% ownership) hog farms. AgFeed is currently on track to produce 120,000 hogs this year. We target total production of 400,000 hogs in 2008 through acquisitions of existing producing hog farms at low single digit, 2008 P/E valuation. AgFeed looks forward to another year of record earnings growth in 2008.”

According to the China Feed Industry Association, over 530 million hogs are raised in China each year compared to approximately 100 million in the US. Pork represents approximately 65% of all meat consumption in China. Approximately 70% of China's annual hog production is contributed by individual hog farmers in a highly fragmented market represented by China's 500 million farmers that rely on animal raising and field output for incomes.
