Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2010, China Green Agriculture, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“TechTeam”), entered into (i) a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Qing Xin Jiang and Ms. Qiong Jia (collectively, the “Gufeng Shareholders”) and (ii) a Supplementary Agreement (the “Supplementary Agreement”) with the Gufeng Shareholders, pursuant to which TechTeam agreed to purchase all the equity interests of Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Gufeng”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Tianjuyuan Fertilizer Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Tianjuyuan”).  On July 2, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), the acquisition was consummated and Gufeng and Tianjuyuan became wholly-owned subsidiaries of TechTeam and indirect subsidiaries of the Company.

Gufeng was founded in 1993, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjuyuan was founded in 2001. Both companies are Beijing-based producers of compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer and mixed, organic-inorganic compound fertilizer that sell their products throughout China and abroad. Gufeng operates a facility with an annual production capacity of 300,000 metric tons of compound fertilizer, which has a current utilization rate of approximately 60%. Currently, Gufeng and Tianjuyuan have a total of approximately 453 employees.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement, TechTeam acquired all the equity interests in Gufeng for a purchase price of RMB 60 million (approximately $8.8 million) in cash and the issuance of an aggregate of 2,275,931 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) to the Gufeng Shareholders or their designees.  TechTeam is obligated to pay the cash portion of the purchase price three business days following the Closing Date.  Following the Closing Date, TechTeam has the right to appoint two directors to Gufeng’s board of directors, which shall be composed of three members.  The Gufeng Shareholders have the right to appoint the other director. Additionally, TechTeam has the right to appoint the chief financial officer of Gufeng and Tianjuyuan.

The Supplementary Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Shares.  Upon signing of the Supplementary Agreement, the Shares were placed in escrow to be held by the Company and TechTeam jointly until the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(1)  On the Closing Date, 1,365,558 of the Shares were released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders as a result of the successful completion of the share transfer registration with the local Administration Bureau for Industry and Commerce in the Peoples Republic of China making TechTeam the sole registered shareholder of Gufeng.

(2)  If Gufeng achieves at least RMB 600 million (approximately $88.4 million) in net sales revenue for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 (the “Sales Target”), 341,390 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders.  However, a reduced number of the Shares may be released from escrow even if Gufeng fails to achieve the Sales Target. If Gufeng achieves at least 80% of the Sales Target, then 227,593 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholder, and if Gufeng achieves at least 60% of the Sales Target, then 113,797 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders.


(3)  If Gufeng achieves at least RMB 72 million (approximately $10.6 million) in net profit after tax for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 (the “Profit Target”), 341,390 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders.  However, a reduced number of the Shares may be released from escrow even if Gufeng fails to achieve the Profit Target. If Gufeng achieves at least 80% of the Profit Target, then 227,593 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders, and if Gufeng achieves at least 60% of the Profit Target, then 113,797 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders.

(4)  If Gufeng obtains a land use right with respect to certain real property located in China, along with ownership of the buildings thereon, then 227,593 of the Shares will be released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders.

Any Shares that are not released from escrow to the Gufeng Shareholders for failure to achieve the conditions described above will be forfeited and returned to the Company for cancellation.  While the Shares are held in escrow, the Gufeng Shareholders will retain all voting rights with respect to the Shares.

Additionally, terms of the Supplementary Agreement provide that TechTeam will contribute RMB 100 million (approximately $ 14.7 million) to Gufeng following the Closing Date for working capital.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Share Transfer Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement, Gufeng entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Qing Xin Jiang pursuant to which Mr. Jiang shall serve as the chief executive officer of Gufeng for a term of five years. Also on July 1, 2010, Gufeng entered into non-competition agreements with each of the Gufeng Shareholders, pursuant to which, among other things, the Gufeng Shareholders agreed not to engage or participate in any business or operation that directly or indirectly competes with Gufeng’s business without Gufeng’s prior written consent. For a period of five years from the termination of their employment with Gufeng, the Gufeng Shareholders shall not form or operate any enterprise that could have a competitive relationship with Gufeng.

The Gufeng Shareholders have no relationship to the Company other than in connection with this transaction.

The foregoing descriptions of the Share Transfer Agreement and Supplementary Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Share Transfer Agreement and Supplementary Agreement which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
