TORONTO, ONTARIO -- 11/09/09 -- Hanfeng Evergreen Inc. (Hanfeng) (TSX: HF), a leading provider of slow and controlled release fertilizers in China, today announced it has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with FBSciences, Inc. ("FBS") whereby Hanfeng will be the exclusive distributor in the Peoples Republic of China for FBS' CarbonPower®, a next generation proprietary technology that provides superior nutrient uptake and mobility within agricultural crops. Under the Agreement, Hanfeng gains exclusive distribution rights for two years to FBS' proprietary fertilizer technology, with a first right of refusal. For competitive reasons, financial terms of the Agreement were not disclosed.

In early 2009, with the cooperation of the China Ministry of Agriculture, Hanfeng field-tested CarbonPower® in Liaoning, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shandong and Shanxi provinces to prove the technology's efficacy in combination with Hanfeng's fertilizer products. As proven in field trials, CarbonPower® can significantly enhance the germination rate and increase crop yield by up to 10 to 25 percent. Based on the positive results from these field trials and the highly successful initial sales in June of 2009, Hanfeng will add CarbonPower® to its portfolio of value-added products for distribution and sale in China. Like other Hanfeng fertilizers, CarbonPower® improves the effectiveness and efficiency of fertilizers, while reducing the environmental impact associated with the excessive use of conventional fertilizers. This breakthrough product will provide a complimentary product line to Hanfeng's slow and controlled release fertilizers, dramatically increasing the potential of the nitrogen market in China. The Company intends to leverage its established relationships with urea producers for the sale and distribution of a coated product utilizing CarbonPower®.

"One of Hanfeng's core competencies is our ability to identify best-in-class value-add products that will be readily accepted in our primary markets," said Xinduo Yu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hanfeng. "We anticipate CarbonPower® to be as successful in the Chinese fertilizer market as our slow release products were when first introduced in 2006. We are very pleased to have this Agreement with FBS and look forward to a very successful partnership."

Hanfeng initially plans to roll out this new product in the Shanxi province and expects the first sales of CarbonPower® products in the second half of fiscal 2010.
