Summary:
A France-based company specialized in the production and distribution of organic agricultural inputs used as biofertilizers, coating solutions and biostimulants is searching for new partners under distribution services agreements or commercial agency agreement . It also realizes installations of bio-waste valorization systems using a new method of vermicomposting called continuous flow vermicomposting.
Description:
The French company started its development in 2019.
The project is rooted in the desire to work in a field that respects the environment and favours short circuits. The idea of the project starts with the following observation : the soils are degrading, both in terms of biodiversity and agronomic qualities. As a result of several decades of a policy of using synthetic fertilizers and phytosanitary products in high doses, soils are leached and lose their capacity to properly nourish plants, resulting in crop yields that have levelled off and are predisposed to attacks by pathogenic diseases and pests.
The company's main goal is to bring on the market an alternative to standard bio-fertilizer. The approach is based on the used of a bioprocess named lombricomposting that enables to produce biostimulant that are more respectful of the environment.
With the development of greener farming practices, the company is moving towards the production and marketing of high value-added liquid products that are 100% natural and can be used in organic agriculture. By developing a range of fertilizers and biostimulants according to the type of crops targeted, the company offers the possibility to farmers, individuals and market gardeners to move towards new production systems that are economical in phytosanitary products.
The SME is also engaged in agrofood trading activities such as the sale of melasses and beet pulp to meet its customers' needs for various organic materials.
Moreover, this company is the only one in France to use and install continuous flow vermicomposting systems. The installations can be of different capacities, ranging from industrial systems to local solutions.
In order to expand its activity outside France and to increase its sales turnover, the company is now searching for new partners abroad. Partnerships considered could be either :
- distribution services agreements in case partner buys company's products and sell them directly via its networks
- commercial agency agreements in case of interest for both products and installations of continuous flow vermicomposting systems.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for new partners :
- traders (buyers and sellers) in the agrofood industry interested in innovative biosimulants and the sale of melasses and beet pulp.
- Ministries of agriculture interested in promoting these ethical and eco-responsible products and methods in their country
- commercial agents can also be considered to represent products and installations of continuous flow vermicomposting systems.
