                        Annual General Meeting Statement

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

'Over the course of the last financial year, we continued to make further
progress in our business development strategy, despite challenging market
conditions. Considerable financial investment has been made across our
activities, with the purchase of Glasson Grain in August 2006, our largest
acquisition to date; the ongoing store refurbishment programme; the opening of
our new dedicated blended feed plant at Rhosfawr and the integration of the
Quins Farm Supplies business into our stores at Newtown and Welshpool. Further
investment has been made in many of our Joint Venture activities, which add
useful additional income streams.

Our investments place the Group in a stronger position for the future and, more
immediately, to benefit fully from improving market conditions. Following the
sharp decrease in fertiliser sales last year - as the Single Farm Payment system
and record high fertiliser prices impacted farmers' buying patterns - I am
pleased to report that we have seen fertiliser ordering return to more
normalised patterns and there was a marked rise in demand in January to
February. On a like-for-like basis, fertiliser orders for the period November to
February are 10% ahead of the same period last year, and in line with budget. In
addition, the Glasson Grain acquisition adds considerably to fertiliser volumes.
While the high price of wheat will impact on feed margins, the balanced nature
of our business should help to alleviate the impact, not least because our
arable division experienced strong demand for cereal seeds during the important
autumn planting season.

In January, we announced the launch of a new stand-alone pet store format, 'Just
for Pets', targeting the fast growing pet products market. I am pleased to
report that the first of these stores remains on course to be opened in Telford
in April 2007, with a further two stores planned during the year.

We are also announcing today the planned retirement of Bernard Harris, the
Group's Managing Director. After 28 years with the business, Bernard Harris will
be retiring in May 2008. The search for his successor has already commenced and
we will make any necessary announcement in due course. In order to ensure a
smooth transition, there will be a period of handover ahead of Bernard's
departure.

With the recovery in fertiliser sales, the start to the current financial year
has been encouraging. The integration of Glasson Grain is progressing well and
the business is on track to be earnings enhancing in the current year. Across
the Group, sales are in line with budget and we remain optimistic about the
outcome for the current financial year.'
