We have acted as counsel to China Green Agriculture, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to an aggregate of up to $4,244,250 of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Shares”). The Shares are being registered for offering and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement incorporates by reference the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-159842), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2009 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 2009 (the “Related Registration Statement”), including the prospectus which forms a part of the Related Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), as supplemented from time to time by one or more prospectus supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”).

                In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate and other records and documents as we considered appropriate including, without limitation (i) the Registration Statement and Related Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time and presently in effect (the “Articles of Incorporation”); and (iii) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended from time to time and presently in effect (the “Bylaws”).

                In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company.
