Maple Leaf
Reforestation Inc. ("
Maple Leaf
" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Hunan Organic Fertilizer Plant has signed a distribution agreement with
Mr. Wang Yonggui
(the "Sales Agent") to sell a total of 2,000 tons of fish meal between
December 10th, 2009
and
December 31st, 2010
.
Under the agreement:
- The Sales Agent will be responsible to sell 2,000 tons of fish meal
during the agreement term;
- The fish meal will be sold to the sales agent for approximately
$154 Cdn (1,000 Rmb) per ton (including the transportation fees). The
total revenue to Maple Leaf from this agreement will be approximately
$310,000 Cdn (2,000,000 Rmb);
- Maple Leaf will receive 45% of the payment upon delivery to the Sales
Agent and the balance after July, 2010;
- The Sales Agent will purchase at least 15 tons of fish meal from Maple
Leaf each time he makes a purchase (exceptions can be made under some
special circumstances); and
- The first shipment of 30 tons will be delivered to the Sales Agent in
December, 2009.
The fish meal is produced at Maple Leaf's 21 acre Organic Fertilizer Plant. The fish meal has proved to be highly effective as customers have indicated that following consumption of the Company's product, the fish have grown 100% more in the first month than is typically expected in the fish farm industry in
China
.
Raymond Lai
, President and CEO of
Maple Leaf
comments, "Fish meal sales have been a large part of our Hunan Organic Fertilizer Plant and have made a significant contribution to the Company's revenue in 2009. We plan to continue to expand the fish meal operations in 2010 by hopefully securing additional sales and distribution agreements as such opportunities become available. Our goal is to reach 10,000 tons of annual sales, which is the Plant's current production capacity."
