Koppert Biological Systems has reached an agreement to take over Itaforte BioProdutos and give it a greater presence on the Brazilian market.
Henri Oosthoek, managing director, said: “Buying Itaforte gives us an accelerated start within the growing Brazilian market. There is a great deal of demand for natural, effective solutions that are safe for humans and the environment.
"This expansion means that we will be able to offer our clients more and better solutions in the medium to long term in existing markets too, for instance in outdoor crops and covered crops.”
Itaforte is based in São Paulo state and is active in outdoor fruit crops and covered crops. Its products are also approved for use in the growing sector of organic crops. The activities will be integrated with the business activities of Koppert Brazil, which was established three years ago.
