OFFICE: NFF: Executive Management Changes at Nufarm

Nufarm Limited today announced that several important changes are being made
at the executive level of the company.

Bob Ooms (Group Executive, Industrial Chemicals) will step down from his role
and leave the company at the end of February.  Bob, who joined Nufarm in
1999, has held executive responsibilities for Nufarm's industrial chemicals
businesses and - more recently - global supply chain.

Dale Mellody (currently Group Executive, Global Marketing) will move into a
new executive role that encompasses global supply chain and strategic
procurement.  Dale brings considerable commercial experience to this new role
and will ensure a strong focus is maintained on driving further efficiencies
in these areas and that they support the strategic growth plans of the
business.

Greg Hunt has been appointed Group Executive, Global Marketing and Business
Development.  Greg, who will commence with the company on February 6, brings
considerable executive and agribusiness experience to Nufarm.  During a long
and successful career at diversified agribusiness group Elders Australia
Limited, Greg held a number of management positions focused on both the
Australian and international operations of the company.  Appointed Managing
Director in 2001, Greg held that position until 2007, leading the company's
operations across a broad range of activity, including rural merchandising
and product distribution.  After leaving Elders, Greg worked with a number of
organisations in business development and agribusiness related investment
advisory roles and has assisted companies including Tandou Ltd, Plum Grove
Pty Ltd and Biocentral laboratories Ltd.

Nufarm Managing Director, Doug Rathbone, said the changes to the executive
team will strengthen the depth of management; bring fresh perspective and
additional experience to the company's leadership group; and will more
closely align the executive structure with key strategic and business
priorities.
