("Plant Health Care" or the "Company")
Distribution agreement for commercial sales in Europe
EDAF Selected as Distributor in Portugal
Plant Health Care® (AIM: PHC.L), a leading provider of novel
patent-protected biological products to global agriculture markets, has signed
an agreement for EDAF Unipessoal LDA ("EDAF") to become the exclusive
distributor in Portugal for its proprietary PREtec-containing fertilizer,
PREzym™, for use in fruit, vegetable and cereals crop production.
The Company expects to commence commercial sales of PREzym in the first half
of 2023. Plant Health Care and EDAF have been working together since 2016 when
EDAF became the exclusive distributor in Portugal of the Company's proprietary
ProAct(®) plant health product. Today's announcement further strengthens the
partnership and will help Plant Health Care fulfill its ambitious plans to
grow its global footprint/market share across Europe.
Derived from natural proteins, PREtec is an environmentally friendly
technology which stimulates crop growth and ability to withstand a variety of
abiotic stresses to improve plant health and yield. PREtec is compatible with
mainstream agricultural practices.
Plant Health Care continues to expand into new markets around the world and is
growing its relationships with major global distribution partners. The Company
is on track to achieve revenue of $30 million by 2025 through the launch of
new products and continued organic business growth through current and future
distributor relationships.
This announcement marks the first sales of PREtec-based products into Europe
and supports farmers seeking to use more sustainable practices. Europe is
fast becoming one of the largest markets for sustainable biological products
and PREtec-containing products will help produce higher crop yields locally to
address the global food supply crisis.
Jeff Tweedy, CEO of Plant Health Care, said: ‟Today's announcement marks a
significant milestone for Plant Health Care and our ambitious plans to grow
our global footprint/market share. I am excited for our first sales of the
PREtec technology in Europe which has the potential to grow considerably and
transform the European farming industry towards a sustainable future with
better crops delivering a higher yield for thousands of farmers. EDAF has
proven to be a strong partner over the years, supporting the growth of PHC's
products in Portugal.
Pedro Tavares, CEO of EDAF Unipessoal Lda, said: "Plant Health Care is a
reliable partner, with cutting-edge technology and always looking for
sustainable solutions for an increasingly demanding market, which allows for
differentiated and technologically advanced products. This agreement aligns
with our strategy to supply an innovative and high-quality portfolio to our
customers and is responsive to the increasing demand for sustainable
solutions. EDAF, LDA and its technical team would like to thank Plant Health
Care for all the trust placed in it to develop and commercialize PREtec in
Portugal"
