China Organic Agriculture has announced the listing of its shares on the Frankfurt stock exchange.


The agricultural trading company said the exchange is home to many China-based listings and has recently set up a division that caters specifically to Chinese businesses.


The company will trade under the symbol 4CA.


“Gaining exposure to investors globally is a central tenet to China Organic’s aggressive growth strategy,” said Jinsong Li, chief executive officer. “In addition to the OTCBB, this listing on one of the world’s premier stock markets will open further opportunities to expand our reach and grow our shareholder base.”


The listing, China Organic said, is “integral” to the company’s ongoing plans to raise its investor profile in the global market.


The company said it has completed two of the three steps necessary to acquire a senior exchange listing in the US.
