AGM Statement

Wynnstay Group PLC
23 March 2006



                               WYNNSTAY GROUP PLC

                         ('Wynnstay' or 'the Company')

                  Annual General Meeting and Trading Statement


Wynnstay Group plc will be holding its Annual General Meeting this morning. In
his address to shareholders, Chairman, Mr. John Davies will make the following
comments,

'Wynnstay announced record results for the year ended 31 October 2005, with
turnover of £100.81 million and profits before tax of £2.87 million, a rise of
9% over the same period last year. The proposed dividend of 5p per share
represents an 11% increase over the previous year.

'As I reported in my Chairman's Statement within the Annual Report and Accounts,
the trading environment is challenging.

'The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy ('CAP') and the commencement of
the Single Farm Subsidy Payment has introduced significant uncertainty into the
market place and is changing farmers' traditional buying patterns. In addition,
energy price rises, particularly for electricity and fuel have increased the
Company's manufacturing and distribution costs.

'The most immediate impact of CAP reform continues to be felt on Wynnstay's
fertiliser sales, where volumes have been depressed. In the first four months of
the current financial year, continuing price inflation and the inclement weather
have contributed to a significant reduction in volumes. Given the vital
importance of the spring market, in the absence of a recovery, this will have a
material impact on the Company's financial performance for the half year.

Despite these difficulties, we believe our broad spread of activities and strong
balance sheet provides us with a robust base from which to make progress. We are
continuing to broaden the appeal of our Stores offering and our strategy of
developing income streams outside the Company's core agricultural activities,
via joint ventures such as Wyro Developments, is bearing fruit. Meanwhile, we
remain well placed to play an active role in the consolidation of the sector.'
