Exclusive Distribution Agreement Announced For STK In Colombia March 11, 2019 (Tel Aviv, Israel) – STK bio – ag technologies, the
innovative Israel-based leader in bio-ag technologies and hybrid technologies
for sustainable agriculture and aquaculture, and ADAMA , a global leader in
crop protection products, are announcing an exclusive agreement for the
distribution of Timorex® Gold botanical-based bio-fungicide and STK REGEV® ‘Hybrid’ fungicide
throughout Colombia. Under this exclusive agreement, ADAMA will sell
the products throughout Colombia under STK’s trade name, Timorex® Gold and STK REGEV®.
Timorex® Gold is currently approved for use in Colombia for the following crops: Bananas, Rice, Ornamentals, Tomatoes,
Avocados, Onions, Coffee, Corn, Tobacco, Potatoes, Passion fruit and Pitahaya.
Colombia has also approved STK REGEV® on rice, with expected
label extension on bananas, ornamentals, coffee and tomatoes. TIMOREX GOLD® is a highly effective and
popular botanical-based bio-fungicide. Based on Tea Tree Oil, TIMOREX GOLD® is used by growers in
nearly 40 countries throughout the Americas, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and
Israel. TIMOREX GOLD® protects fruits and vegetables from a wide variety of diseases,
substantially increases crop yields and quality, leaves no chemical residues,
and makes TIMOREX GOLD® treated crops more competitive and agriculture more sustainable
internationally. STK REGEV® is the world’s first ‘hybrid’ fungicide. It is used successfully
in many countries and several regions of the world. A ready to use mix,
STK REGEV® is used exactly as other fungicides, but with the added benefits
of reduced chemical residues and much better resistance management due to its
highly complex formulation of Tea Tree Oil and Difenoconazole. This easy
to use fungicide serves as a ‘bridge,’ enabling farmers who have never
used any biological product to try one, without having to mix, rotate or do
anything differently, thereby expanding the use of biological products for
sustainable agriculture. Commenting on the Agreement, STK CEO, Arye Tenenbaum declared, “We
are very pleased to be partnering with such a great company as ADAMA, whose
world-class team of experts will promote the use of these exceptionally
innovative and highly-effective biological products to Colombian growers." ADAMA Andeans Countries CEO, Edgardo Iglesias commented, “TIMOREX
GOLD® and STK REGEV® complement ADAMA’s portfolio in Colombia. With these highly-advanced
technologies, we aim to continue providing valuable services and products to
enable farmers to optimize yields and help them grow." STK Colombia Country Manager, Jose A. Estevez added, “I have great
expectations for this strategic agreement to accelerate the STK market
penetration and sales growth in Colombia.”
