Yasheng Group Joint Venture With IBC International LLC to Form Angel Star Nutrition LLC

Yasheng Group Joint Venture With IBC International LLC to Form Angel Star Nutrition LLC
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 30, 2013) - Yasheng Group (OTCQB: HERB), a high-growth diversified China-based agricultural conglomerate with U.S. headquarters in Redwood City, California, today announced that it has entered into a Joint Venture with IBC International LLC (a Utah-based food manufacturer), to form Angel Star Nutrition LLC -- a Delaware-based Limited Liability Company. The purpose of the new venture is to produce powdered infant formula and other nutrition products for distribution worldwide.

Yasheng Group and IBC have worked closely over the past 34 months to develop and license infant and toddler formulas for importation into mainland China to address China's increasing demand for foreign-made milk powder. During this period Yasheng Group has acquired the necessary licenses from China's CIQ to begin commercial shipment importation, while IBC has secured the necessary FDA and USDA approvals and plant certifications to begin production and exportation of powdered Infant formula.

Yasheng Group and IBC will be co-owners of Angel Star Nutrition LLC, with each party holding a 50% stake in the venture. Mei P. Wu (President of Yasheng Group) will serve as CEO, while Steven P. White (President of Intermountain Brands Corporation) will serve as President. Angel Star will be based in West Valley City, Utah, where the products will be manufactured. Angel Star products are made from a blend of USDA Grade "A" dairy products, meeting the highest standards for product safety and nutritional value.

Under the new agreement, Yasheng Group will retain all marketing rights for products produced by the venture and distributed in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The parties will work together to develop markets for Angel Star products in other countries. Angel Star products are currently in various stages of governmental approval in Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia and Mexico. Angel Star expects to expand its line of products into other areas of nutrition supplementation over the next 36 months -- including products for aging adults and pregnant women, as well as supplements specifically designed for use by diabetics -- an increasing problem in China.

According to the China Dairy Industry Association, the infant formula milk powder market in China has had an average annual increase of 22.9% since 2000 and is now the second largest in the world. It is estimated that the infant formula market will reach $12.0 billion in 2013 and that China will become the worlds' largest consumer of infant milk powder in the near future, with over 20 million newborns every year. Recent changes in China's one-child policy are expected to spur additional growth in this segment.

Hemp, Inc. Signs Letter of Intent with One of China's Largest Agricultural Producers, Yasheng Group

NEW YORK, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) is pleased to announce an agreement with the Yasheng Group (OTC:HERB), one of China's largest agricultural producers. The signed agreement specifies that Yasheng Group will grow and process into finished product 637 mu (108 acres) of a specific cultivar of industrial hemp in China. According to Hemp, Inc. executives, the cultivar will be very high in CBDs (a non-toxicating group of compounds with proven medical benefits and no serious contraindications) with less than .05% THC. This level of THC is legal for import into the United States. Final seed products such as hulled hemp seed possess THC levels too low to have an intoxicating effect on anyone consuming it.

The harvested crop will be processed into finished products to be comprised of approximately 75,000 kilograms of top quality hemp. Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) will have final determination of the processing of the end product as the crop progresses to maturity. CEO Bruce Perlowin stated, "Hemp seed, hulled or pressed into oil has the most monetary value at market, but the possibility of providing a quality source of protein to the Chinese population that consumes a great amount of the world's food, is something we are working on. Yasheng representatives have showcased our Herbagenix hemp protein blend to interested buyers at a recent trade show in Hong Kong that could lead to a large sales presence inside China."

Hemp, Inc.'s President, David Tobias, is thrilled with the new agreement, "Yasheng Group is one of China's leading agricultural producers. They've been in business for over 30 years. We're especially proud that we've been able to join the ranks of major corporations McDonald's, KFC, Tsingtao Beer and Pepsi, who partner with the Yasheng Group."

Yasheng Group conducts business operations in China in three major segments: agriculture, livestock, and biotechnology and specializes in developing, processing, marketing, and distributing a variety of food products processed primarily from premium specialty agriculture products grown in North West China in 6 agricultural segments: field crops, vegetables, fruits, special crops, seeds and poultry.

Hemp, Inc.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies, not exploit or endanger any group of them. Thus, the publicly-traded company believes in "upstreaming" of a portion of profit from the marketing of their finished hemp goods back to its originator. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on comprehensive investment results—that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of people, planet, and profits— our triple bottom line approach can be an important tool to support sustainability goals.
