Wattle Health Australia Limited (ASX:WHA) announces the finalisation of its legally binding supply agreement with the International Supplies and Distribution Company (ISDC) to supply its standard infant formula product range to the Chinese market.
Under the agreement, ISDC has guaranteed a total of 5,200,000 units over 42 months resulting in a revenue of approximately A$100 million for the relevant period. Further, following the conclusion of the initial 42-month period, Wattle Health and ISDC will set new volumes annually, which should not be less than that in the previous 12-month period. These volumes will be in addition to the Wattle Healthâs existing arrangements in China.
ISDC will provide a bank guarantee of 25% of the production cost to support the minimum orders to Wattle Health under the agreement. If in case the ISDC fails to procure the required volumes for the relevant period, then the present arrangement can be withdrawn. WHA require accreditation from the State Administration of Market Regulation ("SAMR") to address the agreement.
This agreement with ISDC will help the company to expand its product portfolio covering important milestone in its China strategy, especially in categories where regulations are less onerous than for infant formula. In China, Wattle Health has been actively selling baby food with a pipeline of products, such as organic senior nutritional products, fresh organic milk, sports nutrition, and other organic powder-based products.

Following the SAMR approval, this will help them to expand its extensive retail network within China. They plan to introduce new organic product ranges, capitalising on the strategic relationship they have with the largest fresh organic milk source in Australia, Organic Dairy Famers of Australia.
