      Anglo African Agriculture Updates on Sale of Guar Bean JV interest 
 
                        First payment received from PMR 
 
Anglo African Agriculture plc (LSE: AAAP), the London Main board listed food 
manufacturing company is pleased to announce that its Guar Bean joint venture 
company, African Projects and Ventures ("APV"), has received the initial loan 
of ZAR 560,000 (c.GBP31,500) from Prime Meridian Resources Corporation ("PMR") as 
the first part of the transaction to sell AAA's 49.9% indirect interest in this 
loss making entity (the "Transaction"). This Transaction was previously 
announced by the Company on 22 November 2016. 
 
Under the terms of the Transaction, PMR was required to pay ZAR 560,000 (c.GBP 
31,500) by way of an initial loan to APV in order to settle existing creditors 
and then make monthly payments of ZAR 150,000 (c.GBP8,400) to APV to fund ongoing 
operations for a further 4 months whilst the Transaction closed. 
 
The completion of the Transaction, which would see AAA's subsidiary, Dynamic 
Intertrade (Pty) Limited ("DI"), receive a full and final payment, net of any 
loans advanced by PMR, of ZAR 1.4 million (c.GBP80,000), is subject to PMR 
securing their necessary funding. However the Company expects the Transaction 
to conclude in early 2017. 
 
David Lenigas, the Company's Chairman, commented: 
 
"As announced last week, AAA has seen outstanding growth from its main food 
manufacturing and agricultural commodity trading businesses in the past few 
months. Having taken us now through critical mass we are now gearing up for a 
very strong trading performance for 2017. To relieve the Company of any further 
financial obligation and undue stress with what is now our only loss making 
business is important for the future growth potential we now see in front of 
us."
