GUANGZHOU, China, March 1, 2016 -- Sino Agro Food, Inc. or

the "Company" (OTCQX: SIAF | OSE: SIAF-ME).

Sino Agro Food, Inc. ("SIAF") announces that Mr. Bertil

Tiusanen is resigning his position of Chief Financial Officer

and assuming the role of Senior Vice President of Business

Development, New Ventures-Europe, effective February 29,

In his new capacity, Mr. Tiusanen will work to identify

opportunities consistent with SIAF's global strategy,

engaging with SIAF's global commercial leadership team,

prioritizing current and new initiatives, and managing their

launch in Europe. The aquaculture carve-out for listing in

Norway is the first priority.

Mr. Tiusanen commented on the transition. "I am thrilled

about the opportunity to accelerate SIAF's efforts to list an

aquaculture subsidiary in Norway and to explore further

European business ventures in the benefit of the Company and

its shareholders. SIAF is best served with a CFO who can

readily travel and work between the various subsidiaries in

China on an ongoing basis. It is virtually impossible for

someone to serve that role effectively along with the demands

of this new position at the same time."

In the interim, Mr. Daniel Ritchey, a member of the SIAF

Board of Directors and currently its Audit Committee has been

offered and has accepted the position as acting CFO. Upon his

appointment as acting CFO, Mr. Ritchey will resign as a

member of the Audit Committee.

Mr. Ritchey's work on behalf of the Company since its

inception will provide for a seamless transition with Company

plans moving forward.

The Board will appoint a search committee to permanently fill

the CFO position.

Mr. Solomon Lee, Chairman and CEO commented, "Our success is

furthered by remaining flexible and utilizing our resources

to best meet dynamic conditions and ambitions. This includes

realigning the role and responsibility of individuals best

suited to carry them forward.

Mr. Tiusanen is highly qualified to handle the challenges his

new position brings and to help accomplish the Company's

goals in Europe.

Mr. Ritchey will serve well as acting CFO bringing to it the

same strengths and focus he has provided the Company over the

last eight years.

I am very confident in the work these individuals will

provide their respective roles as we continue to develop our

operations and move forward with our expansion."
