KTG AGRAR AG ANTICIPATES GOOD 2012 HARVEST
SHARES IN KTG ENERGIE AG ATTRACTING HIGH DEMAND

Hamburg, 21 June 2012 - KTG Agrar AG (ISIN: DE000A0DN1J4) expects to report
excellent results from this year's harvest. The company will be harvesting
crops from its more than 35,000 hectares of farmland in eastern Germany and
Lithuania. This will include conventional and organic grain, maize and
rapeseed as well as biomass for biogas production. 'Despite the dry weather
in spring, we anticipate excellent yields per hectare. Thanks to our
geographically diversified farmland stretching from southern Thuringia to
north-west Lithuania, as well as our high-quality fleet and our high-tech
farming technologies, we can optimally adapt our operations to whatever
Mother Nature dictates,' says Siegfried Hofreiter, the CEO of KTG Agrar AG.

Some 60 percent of the harvest already sold

In recent months KG Agrar has presold some 60 percent of its 2012 harvest,
fetching prices above the level of the previous season. This year, too, the
harvest is sold directly to processors in the food and fodder industries as
well as to intermediaries. Part of the KTG Agrar's harvest is sold to its
subsidiary, Frenzel Tiefkühlkost, whose frozen food products are sold
directly to retailers. In addition, the company will replenish its silage
stocks for the production of renewable energy, with more than half of the
silage coming from intercrops such as millets.

KTG Energie shares high in demand

Agrar AG, has seen strong demand. KTG Energie AG is Germany's third-largest
producer of renewable energy from biogas. The company is offering 2,700,000
shares priced at EUR 13.80 for subscription, with the subscription period
presumably ending at 12 noon on 26 June 2012. 'We are offering an
opportunity to invest in a company with an established and transparent
business model and predictable earnings in the renewable energies space.
This is an attractive proposition for investors who are looking for an
attractive dividend. Consequently the response to our offering has so far
been excellent,' says Siegfried Hofreiter. Due to the high demand
subscriptions can also be made directly via the company's website,
www.ktg-energie.de, as of today. Firm commitments for sizeable
subscriptions were obtained from anchor investors already ahead of start of
the subscription period.

KTG to benefit from sustainable investments; management anticipates profit
growth

'Over and beyond our investments in biogas plants and new business
segments, we have invested more than EUR 50 million in our farm operations
during the past five years. This enabled us to expand our farmland holdings
to 35,000 hectares, which now translates into high yields and rising
profits,' Siegfried Hofreiter explains. At present KTG Agrar already owns
some 8,000 hectares of farmland, which makes it one of the largest
agricultural producers in Europe. 'Very early on we adopted a sustainable
business model based on farmland, clean energy and healthy food. Further
improvements of processes across all our business segments will contribute
to a clearly positive cash-flow. We anticipate strong profit growth in 2012
and 2013.'
