 government statistics, Xinjiang (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) represents 25% of China's arable land In geography, arable land (from Latin arare, to plough) is an agricultural term, meaning land that can be used for growing crops.

Of the earth's 148,000,000 km² (57 million square miles) of land, approximately 31,000,000 km² (12 million square miles) are
 and produces 8% of the world's cotton supply. More than four times the size of the State of California and accounting for more than one-sixth of China's total territory, Xinjiang is known for its modern farming, fruits, wheat, sheep, minerals and oil. Managed by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (Simplified Chinese: 新疆生产建设兵团; Traditional Chinese: , a government agricultural monopoly, the entire Xinjiang region purchases approximately 2.3 million metric tons of compound fertilizers per year in addition to a large quantity of liquid fertilizers and pesticides.

Bodisen's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Karen Qiong Wang stated, "Bodisen's expansion into Xinjiang represents a successful strategic milestone to reach our previously stated financial and operational targets for 2007. This is the first time that Bodisen has established a major local presence in Xinjiang, offering a full line of agricultural solutions to the largest Chinese farming province. Bodisen has been selling liquid fertilizers and pesticides to Xinjiang for years and is therefore already very familiar with local markets. Xinjiang utilizes over 2 million metric tons of chemical fertilizers annually. With strong support from the local government, this is the first time that environmentally friendly bio fertilizers will be introduced to this market on such a large scale. Although these orders represent significant dollar value, they are still less than 10% of total local fertilizer demand. As Bodisen continues to see end user customers throughout China shifting from chemical fertilizers to environmentally friendly, higher crop yield bio compound fertilizers, Bodisen is in a position to gain new market share in China's $17 billion per year fertilizer industry. Bodisen will continue to focus on extending our product distribution channels throughout China and widen its leading position in China's fast growing environmentally friendly bio fertilizer market."

Commenting on future growth opportunities, Bodisen's President Bo Chen continued, "Xinjiang will be a major growth driver for Bodisen for years to come. The local market demand for fertilizers and pesticides exceeds $1 billion per year and Bodisen expects to gain significant market share in this new market. The local supply of fertilizer raw materials is widely available. Bodisen has sufficient funding to support such new facility expansion plans with proceeds from our London dual listing IPO (Initial Public Offering) The first time a company offers shares of stock to the public. While not a computer term per se, many founders, employees and insiders of computer companies have found this acronym more exciting than any tech term they ever heard. . We expect to start shipping products to customers in Xinjiang by the 2007 spring planting season. We view these new orders as a very natural progression of our growth strategy, leveraging the successes we have already achieved in our existing thriving markets and product sales."

Bodisen currently has production capacity of 200,000 metric tons of environmentally friendly bio compound fertilizers. These new orders will double its current production capacity. China's agricultural industry is strongly supported by the Chinese government Ever since Republic of China founded in January 1st, 1912, China has had several regional and national governments. List

  • Provisional Government of the Republic of China
  • Reformed Government of the Republic of China
