Almada starts to be produced in Brazil, informs Adama

Adama, a company that is part of one of the largest global agribusiness holdings, began producing the Almada fungicide this month at its factory in Londrina (PR). This is the fourth solution launched in the last five years in Brazil with the company's exclusive formulation, the T.O.V technology, which promises greater adherence of active ingredients to soybean leaves.

Almada's main active ingredient is prothioconazole, manufactured by Adama in Taquari (RS). Opened in 2022, the unit is focused on the production of active ingredients. Previously imported from the company's headquarters in Israel, locally produced prothioconazole involves less external dependence on the input, which is essential for the formulation of fungicides in the country.

“This delivery to the market shows the robustness and innovation of Adama’s fungicide portfolio, which meets our strategy of excellence in supply, as, in addition to delivering agility and reliability in local supply, we ensure quality and cost competitiveness, meeting to growing farmer demand for solutions to combat Asian rust”, highlights Ana Colla (in the photo), Director of Operations at Adama.

Focusing on the South of the country, the solution is the third generation of evolution of the T.O.V. production process. The company is also considered number 1 in registered active ingredients in the world, with more than 300. For Romeu Stanguerlin, CEO of Brazil and SVP of Latin America, “This local production in Almada is directly related to the pillars of our strategy of being inspired on the farmer and access to the market, in addition to being a reflection of our brand promise, delivering what the farmer demands, when he needs it”, he concludes.
