Origin Agritech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SEED) has announced a significant expansion of its NEC corn production through a joint venture in Xinjiang, China. The agreement grants the JV 200,000 mu (approximately 33,000 acres) of farmland, with plans to cultivate the entire area by 2024. For the current season, 30,000 mu will be planted. The venture will construct a grain processing facility and has secured offtake agreements for the NEC corn harvest. This initiative is expected to generate an additional $8 million in revenue in 2023, escalating to $55 million in 2024. Importantly, Origin will not incur capital costs for this project, relieving the need for external financing. The successful implementation of this deal is seen as vital for food security in the region.
