Mr. Sigmund Stromme, Managing Director, PMTA, revealed PMTA's signing of a three-year agreement with Solvay of Belgium under which Baconco, a fully-owned subsidiary of PMTA, will be granted exclusive distributorship of Solvay's innovative "N-Protect" urea fertilizer products in Baconco's major markets, including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and a number of African countries.
Solvay is a corporate group that is a global leader in chemicals production. It makes significant contributions to research and development of high quality, eco-friendly chemical products and constantly offers solutions that have wide-ranging impacts on the chemical industry. N-Protect is one of its solutions that enhances the efficacy of nitrogen in urea fertilizers, enabling trees and plants to absorb nutrients from the urea for an extended period. N-Protect products prolong chemical reactions, promoting plant growths and saving urea fertilizer use by as much as 20%. They are especially great for rice, fruits and vegetables.
In Vietnam, we expect Baconco to sell about 15,000 tonnes of N-Protect products in 2016 and about 30,000 tonnes in 2018. For the first season (October 2015 to January 2016), after the launch, we target 6,000 tonnes. In addition, in 2016 we will introduce the products in Laos, Cambodia and such African markets as Angola, Cameroon or Madagascar," he said.
According to Mr. Stromme, the N-Protect products will strength Baconco's product portfolio in terms of quality and variety, and will increase Baconco's profit margin, and allow the company to retain its greatest market share in Vietnam and its export markets. He added that Solvay's decision to offer exclusive distributorship of the products to Baconco also shows its prominence in the agrichemical market and its vast marketing network, and all these will be translated into superior returns to PMTA, its sole shareholder.
