Migao Corporation Signs 50,000 Tonne Contract to Supply Potash Fertilizer
Secures Supply of Potassium Chloride
Migao Corporation, (TSX:MGO) a China-based specialty potash fertilizer producer, is pleased to announce that it has received major purchase orders to supply 50,000 tonnes of potassium sulphate.
The potassium sulphate is to be supplied by Migao's wholly-owned subsidiary Guangdong Migao and delivered by rail to three surrounding provinces for application on high value crops. Delivery of the potassium sulphate is to be completed by January 30, 2009.
"As a result of this order and other commitments for our specialty potash-based fertilizers, all of our production, across all of our facilities, is sold forward until March 2009," said Mr. Liu Guocai, Migao's CEO. "We continue to experience strong demand for our fertilizers from the high value crop market sectors we serve throughout China. For farmers to achieve the yield and quality consumers are demanding for crops such as tobacco, fruits and vegetables they must continue to apply our fertilizers in the prescribed manner."
Migao is also pleased to report it has secured long-term supply of potassium chloride, a major input for its processing of potassium sulphate, from its Russian supplier. The term of the supply agreement extends to August 31, 2009 from the previous term of March 31, 2009. The amount of potassium chloride secured under the revised contract will fully satisfy Migao's needs including new production capacity coming on line during the term of the agreement. Pricing of the potassium chloride is subject to prevailing prices at the time of each delivery, which is anticipated to be on a monthly basis.
Migao Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates fertilizer production plants in various strategic locations across China for the production and sale of specialty potash fertilizer (potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate) to China's high value agricultural market. Migao Corporation is subject to, and complies with strict government regulations that govern safety, quality and environmental protection. Please visit www.migaocorp.com for further information.
