30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Dairy, Inc. (NYSE:ADY) one of
the leading producers and distributors of milk powder and soybean
products in China, today announced that Feihe Dairy was named
"National Leading Enterprise of Agricultural Industrialization" by
China's Ministry of Agriculture, National Development and Reform
Commission, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, The People's
Bank of China, State Administration of Taxation, China Securities
Regulatory Commission and the China Supply and Marketing
Cooperative. Mr. Leng You Bin, Chief Executive Officer of American
Dairy, stated, "This is one of the highest honors a Chinese company
can receive from the state and today's announcement speaks to our
hard work to make Feihe Dairy a leading producer of infant formula
in China. As a National Leading Enterprise, we anticipate a series
of preferential policies from the Chinese government, most
importantly, an exclusion from the central government's corporate
income tax policy through 2010. While we already enjoy a municipal
government tax abatement through 2009, today's news grants us
central government corporate income tax abatement through the end
of 2010." The Chinese government grants "National Leading
Enterprise of Agricultural Industrialization" certificates to
select companies specializing in agricultural production and
processing. At present, only 580 enterprises in China have been
awarded this certificate. American Dairy was awarded the
certificate due to its size and contribution to China's
agricultural industry. About American Dairy, Inc. American Dairy,
