EXHIBIT 10.2

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made and is effective as of the 1st day of October, 2012, by
and between S&W Seed Company, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Fred
Fabre ("Executive"). Together, Executive and the Company are sometimes referred
to as the "Parties."

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Executive in the capacity of Vice
President - Sales, and Executive wishes to be so retained; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive both desire to memorialize the arrangement in

parties and the mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally
and ethically bound hereby, the Company and Executive:

1. Duties and Scope of Employment

(a) Positions and Duties. Executive will serve, at the pleasure of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO"), as Vice President - Sales of the
Company and shall report to the CEO and the Company's Board of Directors. As of
the date of this Agreement (the "Effective Date"), Executive will be considered
a full-time employee of the Company. In the capacity of Vice President - Sales,
Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance
of his duties, consistent with Executive's position within the Company.

business efforts and time to the Company and will use good faith efforts to
discharge his obligations under this Agreement to the best of his ability. For
the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in
any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or
indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Company; provided,
however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Company, serve in any
capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization and serve on
the board(s) set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, provided such services do
not materially interfere with Executive's obligations to the Company. Executive

secrets or other agreement(s) that would preclude, or restrict in any way,
Executive from fully performing his services hereunder during his employment
with the Company.

termination to Executive without prejudice to any other remedy to which Company
may be entitled either at law, in equity, or under this agreement. The notice of

parties agree to reduce to writing the settlement or resolution thereof, which
shall thereupon become part of this Agreement. In the event that the meeting for

reasonably required to preserve the business interests of the party or parties
seeking such relief.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) Each party may obtain and take discovery, including requests for
production, interrogatories, requests for admissions and depositions, as
provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided that the arbitrator
may, in his or her discretion, set parameters on (including the extension of)
the timing and/or completion of this discovery and may order additional
pre-hearing exchange of information, including, without limitation, exchange of
summaries of testimony or exchange of statements of positions. All rights of
discovery shall commence upon delivery of a Notification, regardless of the
timing or occurrence of the meeting contemplated by clause (i) above.

(v) The arbitration proceedings and all testimony, filings, documents and
information relating to or presented during the arbitration proceedings shall be
disclosed exclusively for the purpose of facilitating the arbitration process
and for no other purpose.

(vi) The award of the arbitrator shall be made in a written opinion containing a
concise reasoned analysis of the basis upon which the award was made. The award
of the arbitrator may provide for mandatory or prohibitive injunctive relief.

(vii) A judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(viii) The parties to any arbitration initially shall share equally the fees and
costs of JAMS and the arbitrator. At the discretion of the arbitrator, the

agreement to arbitrate; (B) seek provisional injunctive relief until the
arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved; (C)
avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period; or (D) preserve a
superior position with respect to other creditors.

(x) The arbitrator is only authorized to, and only has the consent of the
parties to, interpret and apply the terms and conditions of this Agreement in
accordance with the governing law. The arbitrator is not authorized to, and
shall not, order any remedy not permitted by this Agreement and shall not change
any term or condition of this Agreement, deprive either party of any remedy
expressly provided hereunder or provide any right or remedy that has not been
expressly provided hereunder.

(xi) The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 through 14 (as amended and
including any successor provision), except as modified hereby, shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Section 14(b).

respective obligations under this Agreement while the Dispute is being resolved
unless and until such obligations are terminated or expire in accordance with
the provisions hereof.

15. Integration

. This Agreement, together with the Proprietary Inventions and Assignment

is signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. In entering
into this Agreement, no party has relied on or made any representation,
warranty, inducement, promise or understanding that is not in this Agreement.

16. Waiver of Breach

. The waiver of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement, which must
be in writing, will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
previous or subsequent breach of this Agreement.

17. Survival

. The Proprietary Inventions and Assignment Agreement and the Company's and
Executive's responsibilities under Sections 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 will

18. Headings

19. Tax Withholding

. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of
applicable taxes.

20. Governing Law

. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California.

21. Acknowledgment

with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to,
and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this
Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

22. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A

. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and if necessary, any provision shall be held null and
void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Section
409A of the Code or regulations thereunder. For purposes of the limitations on
nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, each payment
of compensation under the Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of
compensation for purposes of applying the Section 409A of the Code deferral
election rules and the exclusion from Section 409A of the Code for certain
short-term deferral amounts. Any amounts payable solely on account of an
involuntary separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code shall be excludible from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code,
either as involuntary separation pay or as short-term deferral amounts (e.g.,
amounts payable under the schedule prior to

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year of involuntary
separation) to the maximum possible extent. If, as of the Date of Termination,
Executive is a "specified employee" as determined by the Company, then to the
extent that any amount or benefit that would be paid or provided to Executive
under this Agreement within six (6) months of his "separation from service" (as
determined under Section 409A) constitutes an amount of deferred compensation
for purposes of Section 409A and is considered for purposes of Section 409A to
be owed to Executive by virtue of his separation from service, then such amount
or benefit will not be paid or provided during the six-month period following
the date of Executive's separation from service and instead shall be paid or
provided on the first business day that is at least seven (7) months following
the date of Executive's separation from service, except to the extent that, in
the Company's reasonable judgment, payment during such six-month period would
not cause Executive to incur additional tax, interest or penalties under Section
409A. Further, any reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided under the
Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i)
any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified
in the Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or
in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses
eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no
later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the
expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is
not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

23. Counterparts

. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have
the same force and effect as an original and will constitute an effective,
