 AgBiome Innovations International AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of AgBiome, a leader in developing innovative products from the Earth’s microbial communities, has announced the signing of a Commercial Supply Agreement with FarmHannong Co., a South Korean agrochemical company and subsidiary of LG Chem, to expand the use of AgBiome’s biological fungicide Howler®, internationally.

Howler can be used throughout the growing season from pre-planting to before harvest, in greenhouse and field applications on a wide range of specialty crops.

“Sustainable agricultural practices, as well as the demand for high quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the biofungicides market growth in Asia.Howler has proven to be effective on several major crops that are grown in South Korea including vegetable and fruit crops. We are pleased to partner with FarmHannong, the leading provider of sustainable crop solutions to farmers in South Korea,’’ said  Toni Bucci, COO at AgBiome.

“Growers in South Korea are looking for biological alternatives that are effective and easy to use,” said Taehyun Oh, Product Development Team Leader at FarmHannong. “A partnership with AgBiome reinforces FarmHannong’s commitment to the distribution of next-generation products that encourage sustainable farming practices. The addition of Howler to our product offering is another step towards providing sustainable solutions to farmers,” continued Taehyun Oh.
