28,000 Acres of Agricultural Property to Be Developed by Yasheng Group and Yasheng ECO-Trade Corporation
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Yasheng ECO-Trade Corporation (OTCBB: YASH)
announced today that it and Yasheng Group, an agriculture conglomerate,
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU" ) with Pfau, Pfau & Pfau
LLC ("Pfau" ) to establish a joint venture to develop and operate three
properties currently owned by Pfau, one of which includes roughly 28,000
acres in Central California.
The first property is approximately 28,000 acres of farm and ranch land
located in Southeastern San Benito County, California and Western Fresno
County, California. The development plan for this property is to plant
and harvest olive trees on approximately 12,000 acres. After harvesting,
the company plans to mill and produce California Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
In addition to the olive production, the land currently has one
producing oil well with plans to drill nine more wells. The Company is
discussing the possibility of developing the remaining land (roughly
15,000 acres) into ranch properties. Current zoning allows for
subdivision down to 40 acre parcels.
The second property is approximately 45 acres in Kona, Hawaii. The
planned development for this property is a coffee plantation.
The third property is approximately 500 acres in San Marcos, California.
The planned development for this land is approximately 750 single family
homes and approximately 1.5 million square feet of commercial mixed use
space.
Gregory Rubin, Chairman of Yasheng ECO-Trade Corporation, commented, "We
believe this proposed joint venture could potentially provide the
company with the ability to enter the agriculture market in the United
States leveraging the expertise of the Yasheng Group." The closing of
the joint venture will require the completion of definitive
documentation, completion of due diligence by the Company, obtaining
corporate approval of all parties and obtaining approval of the
bankruptcy court, as Pfau has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California.
There is no guarantee that the parties will reach a final agreement or
that the transaction will close on the terms set forth above.
