XI'AN, China, June 15 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Green Agriculture, Inc. (NYSE: CGA) ("China Green Agriculture" or "the Company"), a leading producer and distributor of humic acid ("HA") based compound fertilizer through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shaanxi TechTeam Jinong Humic Acid Product Co., Ltd., today announced that it has reaffirmed previously announced guidance of $50.6 million to $51.2 million in revenue and $21.1 million to $21.4 million in net income, or EPS of $0.90 to $0.91, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company also announced that as of June 10, 2010, it had reached its annual sales volume target, which represents an increase of more than 40% over total sales volume of 15,042 metric tons for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
China Green Agriculture's achievement by June 10 of its target sales volume goal for fiscal year 2010 was driven by an expanded product mix, effective marketing and sales efforts, and favorable market conditions in China, supported by the increased production capacity due to the addition of the Company's second production line.
"Based on our current level of performance and outlook, we are confident in our ability to increase our sales volume by at least 40% per year over the next two fiscal years due to anticipated strong sales of our HA compound fertilizer products, which could be accelerated through targeted acquisitions," commented Mr. Tao Li, the Company's chairman and CEO. "With our increased production capacity, new R&D facilities coming on line, expanding geographic footprint and strong working capital position, we are poised to capitalize on further market share gains within the fertilizer industry to drive future revenue growth and profitability."
