Organic goes Mainstream

Organic farming, although originating in the early 19th century, has found only in the last decade much support from the public, governments and other organisations.

Triggered not only by food desasters, a growing number of consumers have realised, that conventional produced crops may cause health risks and that this specific production method contributes heavily to the pollution of our environment.

Organic farming differs substantially from other farming methods. It is based on primary use of renewable on-farm ressources.

Plant Protection is based on natural occuring substances, enhancement of plant health and promotion of pest predators.

Fertilisation makes use of recycable organic waste material to return nutrients back to their origin.

Synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers are strictly forbidden.

Organic farming developped in the last 10 years from a niche market into a multi-billion Dollar business with increasing trends.

Especially tropical produce providesa chance for farmers to particpate in this growing market segment.

AGBM has dedicated its active ingredient manufacturing on biological plant protection products.

Meat and poultry production takes into concern the natural habitat behaviour of livestock and should provide acceptable conditions. Livestock should together with farming provide a closed ecological system where waste is minimised.

Growth hormones, antibiotics or any kind of genetic manipulation are strictly  forbidden.

Certified organic products do receive an agro-environmental price premium in most markets. Such the farmer is compensated for his efforts.

Organic farming is the best chance for farmers of all size to guarantee the marketability of their produce.

AGBM is in position to consult farmers interested to convert to certified organic production methods and delivers turn-key solutions for their fertilisation and plant protection needs.
