To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

RE-CONVENING OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Reference is made to the circular dated February 19, 2003 on the Proposed Grant of Option to Two Directors (the “February 19 Circular”) sent to you by Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”) which includes a notice convening an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to be held at Room 2705, 27th Floor, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 at 11 a.m. (the “February 19 EGM Notice”). Terms defined in the February 19 Circular shall have the same meaning when used herein.

According to the articles of association of the Company (the “Articles”), not less than 14 days’ notice has to be given for an extraordinary general meeting convened for the passing of an ordinary resolution. The Articles further provide that where notice is sent by post, the 14-day notice period only commences on the second day after the dispatch of the notice.

Due to clerical oversight, only 12 days’ notice was given under the February 19 EGM Notice. Therefore, the February 19 EGM Notice has not been given in accordance with the notice requirements for convening an extraordinary general meeting as set out in the Articles.

The Board has, therefore, re-convened the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on Monday, March 17, 2003 (instead of on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 as stated in the February 19 EGM Notice) at 11 a.m. at Room 2705, 27th Floor, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. The notice of the re-convened Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company is set out on page 2 of this circular which replaces the February 19 EGM Notice in its entirety. A new proxy form for use by shareholders at the re-convened Extraordinary General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and replaces the proxy form enclosed with the February 19 Circular in its entirety. Except for the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the replacement of the February 19 EGM Notice and the proxy form, the February 19 Circular remains valid and unchanged.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board Ip Chi Ming Director
