CLAREMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 17, 2015) - Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation (OTCBB: KWBT) reported today that it has signed an agreement with Kangtan Gerui (Beijing) Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. and formally awarded distribution and sales rights with respect to Kiwa fertilizer products in three major agricultural regions of China -- Hainan Province, Hunan Province and Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Since August 2015, Kiwa's research and development department has been conducting application experiments in Hainan and Hunan Provinces according to market requirements. The data derived from the experiments indicates that Kiwa fertilizer products have already fulfilled the requirements of reduction of content of heavy metals in soil and improvement in crop yield. Kangtan Gerui (Beijing) Bio-tech Co., Ltd. was founded in Beijing in April 2015 and relies on the sales network of China's Supply and Marketing Cooperatives system. Currently, Kangtan Gerui and Kiwa do not have any mutual ownership, but they expect to potentially have collaboration and integration in the future.

Jimmy Zhou, CEO of Kiwa stated, "Kiwa hopes to gradually rebuild the market sales network of Kiwa products in China through this agreement. In addition, we plan to incorporate sales companies like Kangtan Gerui into Kiwa by means of cooperation, acquisition and other cooperation strategies. Kangtan Gerui's sales network through China's Supply and Marketing Cooperatives system is China's state-owned fertilizer sales network, which controls 80% of China's fertilizer market. We believe that this association will further improve our sales performance in the future."
