“We are pleased to welcome China Green Agriculture, Inc., a pioneer in agricultural products, as the first company to list on NYSE Euronext markets in 2009,” said Michael Yang, Chief Representative of Beijing Office, NYSE Euronext. “NYSE Euronext’s acquisition of the former Amex enables us to extend our coverage to smaller, promising companies.
