Origin&nbsp;Agritech Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEED#NASDAQ">SEED</a>) (the "Company" or "Origin"), a leading Chinese agricultural technology company, is pleased to announce the establishment of the "Origin Marker Biological Breeding Service Consortium" in partnership with China Golden Marker Biotechnology Co., Ltd. This consortium is designed to license Origin's GMO insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant (IR/HT) traits to a wider range of industry players and to accelerate the application of Origin's gene editing technology in breeding programs. The signing ceremony for this new initiative took place at the 31st China Seed Industry Conference in Beijing.
&nbsp;
The consortium represents a significant step in advancing the commercialization of Origin's cutting-edge GMO and gene editing technologies. Following the Company's receipt of a GMO safety certificate for its transgenic maize, BBL2-2, in May 2024, this consortium will play a key role in promoting the licensing of these GMO traits to seed companies and research institutes., providing a wider opportunity for broader adoption by more industrial players across China's key agricultural regions.
In addition, Origin Agritech's breakthrough gene editing technology, including the world's first efficient genetic transformation system for maize induction line Hi3, is central to the consortium's mission. This gene editing system rapidly improves key traits such as drought resistance, plant architecture, and disease resilience in maize, reducing the traditional breeding timeline from 3-4 years to just one. By integrating this technology into Origin's breeding programs and its partners, the consortium seeks to accelerate product development while expanding the royalty opportunities for new, high-performing maize varieties.
China Golden Marker Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a leading high-tech biotechnology company specializing in next-generation sequencing (NGS), gene chip detection, and molecular marker technology, plays a pivotal role in this consortium. China Golden Marker has invested 67 million yuan to establish a state-of-the-art molecular marker laboratory capable of processing over 1 million samples and generating over 1 billion SNP data points annually.
The consortium is currently advancing three key projects:
<ul>
<li>Commercialization of the BBL2-2 GMO Maize Event: Promoting and seeking partnerships for the commercialization of the insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant genetically modified BBL2-2 maize.</li>
<li>Advancement of Gene Editing for Maize: Promoting the world's first maize-induced gene editing system, which can accurately improve maize leaf angle, drought resistance, and other traits within a year.</li>
<li>Innovation in Maize Germplasm Resources: Utilizing the consortium's rich mutant library and molecular marker-assisted breeding techniques to drive innovation in maize germplasm resources. These efforts will support breeding companies and R&amp;D teams in creating more diverse and resilient maize varieties.</li>
</ul>
The consortium has established cooperative relationships with dozens of breeding companies across China and is improving over 100 corn varieties. These varieties are planted in key corn-producing regions, including Donghua North, Huang Huai Hai, Northwest, and Southwest China.
Bill Deng, Head of Research at Origin Agritech, commented: "Origin Marker adheres to the concept of 'making breeding easier.' By leveraging modern biotechnology, we are committed to assisting the industry in breeding higher quality, high-yield, and resilient corn varieties with greater accuracy and efficiency. Our consortium will play a crucial role in advancing sustainable agriculture in China."
Weibin Yan, Chief Executive Officer of Origin Agritech, commented: "What matters most about this consortium is how it will significantly accelerate the commercialization of our GMO and gene editing technologies by a bigger team and accessibility to more research institutes and seed companies. By combining our groundbreaking innovations with the advanced laboratory capabilities of China Golden Marker, we are streamlining the path from lab to market. This partnership will enable us to bring our high-impact solutions to the agricultural industry faster than ever before."

Origin Agritech Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEED#NASDAQ">SEED</a>) (the "Company" or "Origin"), a leading Chinese agricultural technology company, today announced the issuance of a GMO safety certificate for its transgenic maize, BBL2-2, marking a significant milestone for the Company and the agricultural sector, heralding a new era in crop innovation.
The newly certified BBL2-2 maize contains two insect-resistant genes, Cry1Ab and Cry3Bb, and one herbicide-tolerance gene, Cp4-epsps. This genetic composition makes the maize resistant to various lepidopteran pests such as corn borer, cotton bollworm, armyworm. BBL2-2 is&nbsp;a product with substantial commercial value and extensive application potential.
The certification of BBL2-2 confirms its adherence to stringent safety standards and paves the way for its commercial launch. The introduction of BBL2-2 is expected to significantly enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability, providing a powerful tool for farmers to manage pests more effectively and reduce the environmental impact of agriculture.

Origin Agritech Says On January 11, 2024, Nasdaq Notified That It Continued To Be In Non-Compliance With Minimum Market Value Of Listed Securities Requirements - Filing

Preannounces Approximately 70% Increase in Revenues for Fiscal Year 2023
BEIJING, Nov. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Origin&nbsp;Agritech Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEED#NASDAQ">SEED</a>) (the "Company" or "Origin"), a leading Chinese agricultural technology company, provided investors with a business update and provided preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2023.
Preannounced Financial Results
<ul>
<li>The Company expects fiscal year 2023 revenue to be between $12 to $13 million, representing an increase of 60% to 70% from fiscal year 2022 revenue of $7.4 million.</li>
<li>The Company expects fiscal year 2023 net income to be between $16 to $17 million, which includes a one-time gain from the sale of a former office building of $19 million.</li>
<li>The Company expects fiscal year 2023 operating profit of approximately $2 million.</li>
</ul>
Dr. Gengchen Han, Chairman and CEO of Origin Agritech, commented, "I would like to provide an overview of Origin Agritech's recent accomplishments and our ambitious plans for the future. As we navigate the dynamic landscape of agricultural biotechnology, we remain steadfast in our commitment to revolutionizing the industry and addressing the world's growing food security challenges. The past year has been marked by a series of significant milestones for Origin Agritech. We have made remarkable progress in advancing our innovative technologies, expanding our market reach, and solidifying our position as a leading player in the agricultural biotechnology sector."
"Earlier this year, our triple-stack trait corn, featuring BFL4-2, was selected for inclusion in the national demo plot. This recognition underscores the exceptional quality and potential of our corn varieties. I am confident that our GMO corn hybrids will be approved in 2024. As a reminder, we are one of just four companies with access to this new China GMO market that has just begun to materialize and that we anticipate will grow substantially in the coming years. Our team has diligently conducted pilot seed production, laying the groundwork for full-scale commercialization."
"Our majority-owned joint venture in Shihezi, Xinjiang, secured 200,000 mu of farmland for growing nutrition-enhanced corn (NEC). We are also near completion of our state-of-the-art 100,000-ton corn drying base in Shihezi, Xinjiang. This facility will play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and resilience of our supply chain while expanding our production capacity, enabling us to meet the growing demand, and ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality NEC corn to our customers. Our large-scale pilot production of nutrition-enhanced corn harvested in September and October 2023 has set the stage for revenue recognition of approximately RMB 50 to 100 million in fiscal year 2024, or $7 to $14 million U.S. dollars. We have produced enough NEC seed for next year's planting and expansion plans. Our NEC corn features are groundbreaking: 8.4% oil content, which is double that of normal corn, 0.31% lysine, a 50% increase, and 102 IU/KG of Vitamin E, significantly higher than average."
"Our team has developed a novel gene editing method that significantly reduces the backcross procedure from 4-5 years to just one year. This breakthrough enables us to convert edited traits into elite commercial lines rapidly. We have also developed nitrogen-efficient corn through gene editing and are conducting extensive testing to validate this trait. We have also established a comprehensive gene editing breeding system encompassing seven traits, including drought resistance, nitrogen efficiency, and plant type. This system allows us to convert any commercial line into an edited line within one year."
Highlights of Questions Submitted from Investors:
<ul>
<li>Where are GH5112E-117C and G1105E-823 in the approval process?&nbsp;We are cooperating with a local research institute to continue the experiments.</li>
<li>How is&nbsp;Zhong Huang 6106 and AOYU 728 progressing?&nbsp;AOYU 728 has performed excellently in the last two years and has become a major competitive product. We expect significant sales growth in the next few years. Zhong Huang 6106 has also performed well and has become our main soybean variety in the Jiangsu area.</li>
<li>Can you discuss your advancements with nitrogen-enhanced corn? Why is it a huge advantage, and how can we benefit? Nitrogen efficiency corn is a breakthrough in this area. We have worked on this trait since 2004 through GMO methods. We finally made significant progress in 2022. The major advantage of nitrogen-efficient corn is that it increases the corn yield with less nitrogen usage. It will reduce the farms' production costs and environmental nitrogen pollution. Our preliminary result shows a more than 50% yield increase for the inbred line under the same nitrogen usage in the field.</li>
<li>Can you discuss the approval process for planting all across China? What regions are our crops primarily being planted in? How far along are our competitors?&nbsp;There are four major corn planting areas in China. Northeast and Huanghai are the two main corn-growing areas we focus on.</li>
<li>Can you provide an update on the&nbsp;Muyuan Foods agreement?&nbsp;Muyuan has tested our NEC hybrids in more than 15 locations in 2023. Potential collaborations are currently under discussion.</li>
<li>What is the status of approval of variety application of BFL4-2&nbsp;GMO seeds? Have these seeds been selected for use in the national pilot crop growing program next year? We expect approval to happen in 2024; our hybrids with BFL4-2 are in the national demo plots.</li>
<li>How many acres of&nbsp;NEC corn will be grown in the next year?&nbsp;We will have confirmed figures in the March/April planting season.</li>
<li>What is the status of approving the safety certificate application of drought-resistant&nbsp;GMO seed?&nbsp;We have finished the field test and applied for safety certificate approval.</li>
<li>Could you explain how the&nbsp;NEC corn performed regarding nutritional content and overall yield? NEC yielded comparable yields to its normal corn varieties in more than 50 locations and three years of testing. Oil content is over 8% compared to 3.5-3.8% normal corn, 0.31% lysine, a 50% increase, and 102&nbsp;IU/KG of Vitamin E, significantly higher than average.</li>
<li>Are you confident in your original assessment of increasing&nbsp;NEC corn land in Xingjiang province from the 30,000 Mu planted this year to 200,000 Mu? Yes, we are very confident that we can achieve this.</li>
<li>Does the company intend to expand the&nbsp;NEC contract or joint venture, growing to further provinces before the 2024 planting season?&nbsp;Yes, we intend to expand to further provinces before the 2024 planting season.</li>
<li>Does the company plan to formally change its fiscal year to align with harvest season? We are discussing the possibility with our auditors and legal counsel and will have further updates when something more definitive is ready to announce.</li>
</ul>
"Looking ahead, I am very optimistic and excited about the future of Origin Agritech. We have made remarkable strides in advancing our groundbreaking agricultural technologies in the past year. Our achievements in gene editing and the development of our nutrition-enhanced corn are testaments to the dedication and expertise of our team. The recognition of our triple-stack trait corn and the successful pilot production of our nutrition-enhanced corn are just the beginning of what promises to be a transformative journey for Origin Agritech. As we look to the future, our focus remains to revolutionize agricultural biotechnology and contribute meaningfully to global food security. The potential approval of our GMO corn hybrids in 2024, our advancements in gene editing, and the expansion of our production capabilities are pivotal steps in this direction."
"I am not satisfied with our stock price and believe that the market is severely discounting our company's upside potential. We are taking steps to ensure that we achieve a fair and realistic market valuation, and we look forward to conveying new developments and delivering value to our shareholders," concluded Dr. Han.
