WHO WE ARE
We support better agriculture in more than 40 countries, and we continue to expand our presence with our main product lines: inoculants, seed treatments, biostimulants, adjuvants and specialty fertilizers.
We reach farmers around the globe with cutting-edge technologies that allow them to increase yield potential.
We work under a sustainable management system, with an integrated quality policy certified under international standards including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015
We have been a vital part of the agricultural biotechnology since 1977, committed to conducting our business and science in an environmentally friendly way, while caring for people’s health and communities’ development.
We are constantly striving for an effective and sustainable agricultural production system. We lead microbiology research and development programs that offer innovative tools, based on natural biocontrol properties and nutrition provided by selected microorganisms already present in the soil.
Innovation is present in every step we take. Our history reflects the evolution of our technologies and the commitment to reach the main agricultural countries with efficient and sustainable solutions.

We invest 30 per cent of our annual profits into research and development programs that advance the goal of better crop growth around the world. We aim to sustain food security, while elevating the quality of life for people in each and every corner of the world.
To develop high value-added products by using state-of-the-art technology, with our own resources or through strategic alliances, in order to deliver products and solutions to the global agricultural market.
To be leaders in research, development, production and commercialization of agricultural microbiological products and application technologies.
Our global management is oriented towards sustainable development in order to satisfy present needs, without compromising future generations.
By growing with our products, farmers protect their seeds, nurture plants, control diseases to increase yields in an environmentally friendly way.
We were pioneers in the formulation of liquid inoculants used to increase productivity in legume crops; today, we are proud to operate the most modern production facility to deliver state-of-the-art formulations.
We have developed inoculants, seed treatments, biostimulants adjuvants and specialty fertilizers technologies that led us to become a leading force in global markets. We continue to undertake research to create new products that respond to the current and future needs of agricultural production.
Technologies in our portfolio positively impact the triple bottom line of sustainability management systems for social, economic, and environmental benefits.
Our social impact begins with improved agricultural food security and regional development, allowing productivity levels to increase in challenging environments. The performance of our biotechnologies shows that sustainable methods and products are a viable path to economic success. The circle of sustainability is completed by the role our products play in the decrease of carbon emissions and increase in carbon capture; by reducing the negative impact of greenhouse gases, we take on a major challenge on the global agenda.
We specialize in seed-applied biologicals. Before planting, we strengthen seeds with technologies that prepare them to unfold their maximum potential in the later stages of growth.
For strong emergence of crops, we introduce microgranulated fertilization, which ensures efficient, precise and balanced nutrition in the planting line.
When it comes to taking care of health, we offer the most complete line of agricultural adjuvants that enhance effectiveness and precision, with the least environmental impact, during the application of insecticides and foliar fungicides.
The alliances that we maintain, with research centers and leading companies in the market, allow us to come into the field with cutting-edge solutions from pre-planting to harvest.
Our formulations integrate and improve all the processes of agricultural production in the countries where we are active, reducing environmental and climatic risks, and maximizing the producer’s return on investment.
