China Green Agriculture manufactures and distributes 131 different fertilizer products in 27 provinces in China. The company’s products are derived from Humic Acid, a naturally occurring compound that is found in decomposing plant and animal material that is present in peat, lignite or coal. The company uses weathered coal as its main source of raw material.

Since the company’s products are considered “green” or organically based, it makes them that much more attractive in an era where many consumers and customers are more sensitive to environmental concerns. The company plans 21 new product introductions for fiscal 2009.

China Green Agriculture manufactures products in all three categories, making the company one
