Farmagro

Farmagro is a leader in the Latin American agricultural market, committed to serving farmers of all sizes and capabilities. From providing high-quality seeds to timely technical assistance, it supports clients throughout the cycle of cultivation without compromising on the quality of the products and services.

“We collaborate with the best suppliers worldwide and follow an inclusive business model to help our clients navigate any problems they face,” says Christian Seiler, general manager of Farmagro.

The inclusive model takes into account multiple challenges faced by clients during the agricultural cycle, including climate change and inconsistent prices. Withstanding adverse climatic conditions requires top-quality, robust seed varieties. Farmagro starts with extensive research. Every seed variety of corn and rice is carefully chosen by its team to ensure high yield in environments specific to Latin America, especially Ecuador.

Partnering with some of the most successful research and development companies helps it offer products that ensure exceptional results in all growing conditions. One example is its partnership with Advanta Seeds, which ensures the reliability of its products, multiplication capabilities and adaptability to the Ecuadorian climate. It also sources hybrid corn seeds from Thailand, which has climatic conditions similar to that of Ecuador. The sourced hybrid corn seeds meet the requirements of the local market in terms of color, texture and yield and can be used in the production of balanced foods.

These products are complemented by its superior phytosanitary and plant nutrition products along with machinery for application. The phytosanitary products help farmers effectively deal with fungal infections and other infestations caused by the region’s tropical wet climate. The application of the products is optimized by using Farmagro’s spraying machinery.

Training sessions and technical assistance are also provided for clients to maximize the genetic potential of each seed variety.

Farmagro’s involvement in the process doesn’t end with cultivation. It also shields clients from financial losses in the wake of uncontrollable events. Collaborating with San Camilo company—a firm owned by Farmagro’s parent company—it carries out a distinct approach to managing price fluctuations.

The company offers its products and services and an insurance policy that protects crops against uncontrollable climatic and biological events to farmers. The charges are recovered in grain at the time of harvest.

Farmagro’s ability to tackle challenges and provide prompt solutions stems from the capabilities of its expert team. Its team of agronomists is well-versed in the products and their applications and has experience serving more than a dozen locations nationwide. It also houses 50 experts exclusively dedicated to hybrid corn seeds to give clients quick assistance.

The sheer magnitude of its workforce, combined with a decentralized service system and a large fleet of vehicles, guarantees efficiency in operations. Farmagro also ensures convenience and accessibility by offering its products online.

Reliability is a hallmark of Farmagro, one deeply rooted in its responsibility toward society and the environment. Currently, it contributes to the Ecuadorian agriculture landscape with financing and technical support, producing 100,000 of the approximately 320,000 hectares of corn planted annually.

Aiming to transform the agricultural sector with its inclusive business model, Farmagro continues to be a companion for Ecuadorian farmers.
