News for 'FEED' - (AgFeed and Zhongpin Optimistic on Growth Prospects The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on AgFeed Industries & Zhongpin)


NEW YORK, NY, Sep 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- The Paragon Report
examines investing opportunities in China's Consumer Goods Sector and pro! vides
equity research on AgFeed Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEED) and Zhongpin, Inc.
(NASDAQ: HOGS). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

The latest stats show that farmers are earning in the neighbourhood of $200 per
hog -- the highest price in decades -- stoking inflation worries while setting
pork suppliers fidgeting upon the potential shake-up in the industry. These
numbers have prompted the Chinese government step in to stabilize the market.
This is welcome news for larger agricultural firms, as generous government
investments are encouraging increased hog production. The communist government
said it would invest heavily in the large-scale pig farms and raise subsidies to
encourage pig farmers to stay in the business. The Chinese Government says that
it will invest 2.5 billion yuan ($390 million) in large pig farms this year.
Also, all farmers and pi! g farms will receive a subsidy of 100 yuan for every sow
they raise .

Zhongpin believes the outlook for China's pork processing industry remains quite
positive. For the year 2011, Zhongpin expects sales revenues should be within a
range of US$1.33 billion to $1.37 billion.

Despite writing off some of the more than 30 hog farms acquired in the last two
years, AgFeed Industries continues to be a growing player in China's hog
production sector. AgFeed and the local government together act in partnership
with local farmers to secure the necessary financing, provide the necessary
guidance, technical and nutritional support in ord! er for the farmers to improve
their productivity. AgFeed's global production system will be structured to
assure clients and business partners a reliable supply of competitively priced
pork. The company says it expects to initially supply pork from its established
production base in the United States and our burgeoning production base in
China.
