Future Outlook
As predicted by the Company, and as at the time of this news release, the world ginseng prices have continued to gain strength. This continued price recovery and the Company's strategic decision to significantly increase seeding at its Ontario farm is expected to reverse its current loss situation within the next 2 to 3 years. Since China now is officially a member of WTO, the Company also plans to take the opportunity to re-enter the China market to maximize its profits and cash flow. With the continued support from our shareholders and bondholders, management of the Company is very optimistic about the long-term financial profitability of the Company.
