Alltech Crop acquires South Africa's Improcrop
Alltech Crop Science has acquired Improcrop in South Africa, integrating the distributor into Alltech's agronomic and horticultural division.
"This purchase will allow us to better serve producers in South Africa and eventually, producers in the rest of this rapidly growing continent, who are looking for alternatives to traditional methods of production," said Geoff Frank, the chairman of AlltechCrop Science. "As chemicals continued to be banned around the world, we are keen in investing further in this agronomy portion of our business and helping farmers get the most out of their crop naturally."
Alltech Crop Science addresses the production of citrus to silage, with products offering a viable alternative to conventional agrochemicals.
For close to 20 years, Alltech Crop Science has conducted research on 69 cultivars in 29 countries to form the scientific basis for its products.
The company will also be launching a Liqui-Plex range based on amino acid and micronutrient technology.
