Plant Impact and Agrimatco Sign Evaluation, Development and Distribution Agreement for Crop Nutrient Products

 

Plant Impact plc (AIM: PIM) ("Plant Impact" or the "Company"), which develops and markets ecologically friendly crop nutrition and protection products, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive evaluation, development and distribution agreement (the "Agreement") with Agrimatco covering the Company's InCa, PiNT K, PiNT Ca, Balance, Saxon, Scope, CaB and Speedo additive products (the "Crop Nutrient Products").

 

The Agreement covers countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Initial crop targets are in high value horticulture with potential extension into some arable crops.

 

The board of Plant Impact (the "Board") believe that this is an important development for the Company and further that it demonstrates the value of engaging with major companies in key territories. Agrimatco's geographically spread distribution chain and its 85 sales outlets, along with its man power on the ground, makes it, in the opinion of the Board, a strategically important partner in these territories.

 

The Agreement with Agrimatco:

·; extends territorial coverage of the Crop Nutrient Products from 52 to 73 countries;

·; increases the field trial development programme; and

·; increases the commercial potential of the Crop Nutrient Products.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Agrimatco will have exclusivity to evaluate the Crop Nutrient Products until 31 December 2011. The evaluation of these products represents the field trial development programme referred to above. Following the successful completion of this, Agrimatco will ensure that products are registered locally and will market and distribute these products on an exclusive basis. Detailed development and distribution agreements will be signed country by country as they come on stream.

 

Khaled Miqdadi, Agrimatco President, stated: "This is a great step forward in the vision of Agrimatco, our partnership with Plant Impact follows our goal of providing the best quality products and services to the local farmers". Mustafa Miqdadi, Agrimatco Vice President, went on to say: "We believe that the addition of Plant Impact's products to the Agrimatco portfolio will help farmers in achieving higher quality yields".
