Mr. Song stated, "The China government has begun to promote a project for the replacement of organic fertilizer. Kiwa's fertilizer products are ideal for what the government needs. Kiwa's technology will improve the safety of the soil and the quality of the crops produced. We believe the sales of our special fertilizers in these areas will help Kiwa achieve sales growth over prior periods."
