                                 AGM Statement

                               10th December 2007



Origin Enterprises plc ('Origin'), today held its Annual General Meeting at
which the, Chairman Owen Killian, made the following statement:

'2007 has been a significant year for Origin, with its establishment and
subsequent flotation on the IEX and AIM markets of the Dublin and London Stock
Exchanges, raising €100m to fund development opportunities. Post year-end,
Origin completed the acquisition of the 50 per cent interest in the Odlum Group
it did not already own, and now owns 100 per cent of the Odlum Group.

As outlined in the trading statement issued by Origin on 3rd December 2007,
Origin has delivered an excellent performance in its first quarter, primarily
due to the renewed buoyancy in primary producer markets. In particular,
increased cereal plantings in the UK are driving a higher application of key
farm inputs, resulting in an improved performance within the Group's Agri-Inputs
business.

The renewed momentum across the markets in which Origin operates reflects a new
underlying growth dynamic. The Group is well placed to achieve growth from
continuing operations in the current financial year.'
