The National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC released “The Policy of Natural Gas Usage” on 30 August 2007. The policy clearly stated that the supply volume of natural gas must remain stable according to the current natural gas policy. In particular for the chemical fertilizer projects approved by the Government, the supply of natural gas must remain stable in long term. The policy also encourages optimization of natural gas efficiency by using advanced technology and facilities. For the urea manufacturers using natural gas as the key energy, the policy is beneficial in long-term natural gas supply and it provides the Group with favorable environment for future’s growth.

Mr Li Weiruo, Chairman of Ko Yo, said, “Our Group will speed up the construction of the urea plant at Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, the PRC, so as to accelerate our production, and to amplify our Group’s profit in future.”

Looking forward, in the aspect of technology and product research and development, the Group will not only continue the effort on the research of new BB fertilizer formula, slow release fertilizer and controlled release fertilizer as well as the specialized fertilizers for cash crops such as rapes, peanuts, garlic and onions which are cultivated in Sichuan Province and Shandong Province, the PRC, the Group will also undergo the preliminary research of producing compound fertilizer by extruding-prilling method. The method is a brand new technology to produce compound fertilizer and has been rapidly developed overseas in recent years. It is believed that the method will help enhance product quality of the Group.

Mr Li Weiruo, Chairman of Ko Yo, concluded, “With the help of national favorable policies and guaranteed natural gas and electricity supply, we will strive to meet the target of this year. Meanwhile, our Group will also strengthen the product marketing and research in Sichuan’s and Shandong’s key markets. This is to lay solid foundation for the operation in 2008 in order to enhance shareholders’ value.”
