(OTCQB: KWBT) ("Kiwa Bio-Tech" or "the Company"), an emerging agricultural company that develops, manufactures and sells bio-fertilizers, announces that the Company has received approval from the Yangling Free Trade Zone in China to obtain land for the construction of a manufacturing facility to meet the US$16 billion-dollar growing demand for bio-fertilizers in China over the next 5 years.
The manufacturing facility will specialize in developing and producing Kiwa Bio-Tech's core microbes, the fundamental components for making high-quality bio-fertilizers. The facility will have a production capacity of 60,000 tons of Kiwa Bio-Tech's core microbes with an annual production value estimated to be over US$65 million dollars (approximately 462 million RMB).
"We are undertaking to open the manufacturing facility for production in 2020," stated Ms. Yvonne Wang, CEO of Kiwa Bio-Tech.

Moreover, the Yangling government has more than 300 demonstration planting bases covering approximately 4.4 million hectares, which generate an approximately US$7.8 billon USD microbial fertilizers every year. As the leader in bio-fertilizer industry in China, we view this as a significant step toward developing eco-friendly agriculture in these planting bases."
The facility will include fermentation and production terminals, agricultural produce sorting facilities and storage, a research and development institute and corresponding ancillary facilities. Yangling Free Trade Zone will also offer Kiwa Bio-Tech over US$400,000 in incentives and provide tax preferences for the first three years of production.
