This case discusses the issues faced by AgFeed Industries Inc, a China-based company seeking growth through the US capital market, both from the perspective of the Chinese company, as well as US investors. It chronicles the evolution of a small, local animal feed farm into a troubled international pork producer. While some may posit that AgFeed's journey is typical of many China based companies, the lessons from this case are relevant to fast-growing companies worldwide. The case surfaces discussions on corporate governance and ethics, issues concerning capital market regulations, business strategies in fast-growing industries, the challenges of cross-cultural management, and management capability.
