GENERAL: NFF: Nufarm to distribute Sumitomo products in the UK

Nufarm Limited announced today that its UK business has secured distribution
rights for the Sumitomo Chemical Company range of crop protection products in
the UK and Ireland.

The agreement - between Nufarm UK Limited and Sumitomo's subsidiary,
Interfarm UK Limited - provides non exclusive distribution rights for
Interfarm's agriculture and horticulture range of products, effective June 1,
2015.

The new distribution arrangements will result in a more efficient route to
market; enhanced product development and formulation opportunities; and a
stronger offering for the customers of both companies.

The General Manager of Nufarm's UK business, John Austin, said the addition
of the Interfarm product range will strengthen Nufarm's position in a number
of crop segments, including autumn cereal herbicides, and will improve
Nufarm's coverage and service to distribution clients and grower customers.
He said several proprietary Sumitomo products were due to be launched over
coming months.

Nufarm's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Greg Hunt, welcomed
the new distribution arrangements, saying it represents another example of
how Nufarm and Sumitomo are continuing to co-operate in ways that add value
to both businesses.
