An Israeli agricultural company focused on crop protection has gained approval to introduce its fungi-preventing product to the Peruvian market.
ADAMA Agricultural Solutions, headquartered in Tel Aviv, employs plant extracts to formulate a plant-based fungicide that safeguards crops like grapes, berries, and select vegetables while enhancing their quality.
Peru, known for its substantial agricultural exports totaling around $9.2 billion in 2021, primarily composed of blueberries, grapes, and mangoes, represents a significant market for this innovative product.
