CAN (NS): Acadian Seaplants establishes subsidiary company in India
The subsidiary company, Acadian Seaplants India Private Limited, is an answer to the growing demand for quality, natural biostimulants and bionutritional products that increase crop yield, quality and farmers’ return on investment in a sustainable way. In addition, Acadian Seaplants India Private Limited has opened a processing facility in collaboration with Standard Pesticides at Vadodara, Gujarat, to better meet the needs of farm owners.
The biostimulant and bionutritional products are available to the farmers across the country through ASL’s own exclusive provincial distribution network. The establishment of the Indian subsidiary company, processing facility and distribution network lays the foundation for ASL’s long-term strategy and reflect its commitment to developing pure, natural biostimulants for the Indian market and forming strong, lasting relationships with growers, distribution partners and key partners in India.
Jean-Paul Deveau, President & CEO of Acadian Seaplants Limited Canada said, “Rapid economic growth and increasing population is demanding more from the farms than ever before in terms of quantity, quality, safety, health and nutrition, what has resulted in intensive agricultural practices. There is an ever-pressing need and demand for agricultural products that are safe for the environment. On the other hand, we are facing depleted soil conditions and adverse impact of climate change, which are multiplying the challenges in agriculture. It has become imperative to grow more food while using environmentally sustainable technologies. There is no other choice.”
