AGROCETE, a special fertilizer company, was founded in 1980, in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. The company develops and sells adjuvants, inoculants and fertilizers with special physiological effects for seeds and foliar applications. Today, it operates in all South America, Mexico and Central America. The success of Brazilian agriculture is similar to the United States where research, product development, technology, and leadership, combined with knowledgeable farmers, have allowed an achievement of maximum productivity and profitability in several major crops. AGROCETE’s plan is to bring new products and technical assistance to the United States following the American environmental protection guidelines and compliance.  Initially, these products will focus on rice, soybeans, cotton, wheat, peanuts and corn, along with new technologies for the U.S. farmers.
