Ekompany developed Ekote coated mineral fertilizers to reduce carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions as compared to conventional processes and fertilizers. “This new generation of controlled release fertilizer allows macro- and micro-nutrients as well as minerals to be delivered over a prescribed time period,” said Eco Agro Resources CEO Andrew Semple, who anticipates great demand for an alternative source of controlled release fertilizers in the North American markets. “By releasing just what the plant needs when it needs it, crop growth is maximized while minimizing environmental loss of nutrients.”

ekompanyEric van Kaathoven, CEO and founder of Ekompany, said they are excited to enter the North American market with Eco Agro Resources to meet the needs of the local growers and farmers. “Our state-of-the-art technology has demonstrated proven quality in both lab conditions as well as on the field, in different regions and climates world wide, and I am confident the results will be excellent here as well,” he said.
