GENERAL: NFF: Nufarm completes US$325m Senior Unsecured Notes Offering

Nufarm Limited today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nufarm
Australia Ltd, has completed its previously announced offering of US$325
million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due
2019 (the "Notes") in an offering to qualified institutional buyers in the
United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain persons outside the
United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act.

The net proceeds of the Notes issue will be used to repay existing
indebtedness outstanding under the A$625 million Australian revolving bank
facility entered into in November 2011.  Concurrent with this, US$250 million
of the commitments under the A$625 million Australian revolving bank facility
would be cancelled.  The Notes, together with the Australian bank facilities
and the trade receivable securitisation facility put in place during 2011,
reflects Nufarm's strategy to diversify its funding sources and extend its
debt maturities.

The Notes will pay interest on 15 April and 15 October each year, commencing
on 15 April 2013, at a rate of 6.375% per annum and will mature on 15 October
2019.  The Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by Nufarm Limited and
certain of its other subsidiaries.

This notice does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of any
offer to buy, the Notes or any other securities. Any offer of the Notes will
be made only by means of a private offering circular.  The Notes are not
being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), or
the securities laws of Australia or any other jurisdiction.  The Notes may
not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the
Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such registration
requirements.
