JDI, Rotam CropSciences reach distribution agreement for crop protection products

Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI) recently sealed a partnership with Rotam CropSciences Ltd., a fast-growing international organization that focuses on crop protection products or agrochemicals, to ensure that Filipino farmers have continuous access to world-class products that aid them in maximizing their harvest.

Rotam, which is composed of 59 companies that operate in over 65 countries worldwide, is offering in the Philippines the Methomyl insecticide — one of its most successful products. Locally known as MetoMight, the insecticide will be distributed by JDI as part of its impressive portfolio of insecticides.

The distribution agreement between JDI and Rotam was made official by a contracting signing, which had the companies’ representatives in attendance, namely: Edwin Hernandez, JDI president; Joevic Pasit, JDI vice president for Sales; Robert Littaua, JDI marketing manager; Yven Almamel, JDI brand assistant; Nanding Tagalog, JDI Technical Services Manager; Dr. Bakthan Ramasamy, Rotam Southeast Asia’s regional head; and Dany Shen, Rotam APAC and Middle East emerging area head.

Rotam boasts of an innovative technology for pest control that meets the most stringent criteria set by leading multinational companies. Its insecticides like Methomyl, Imidacloprid, and Abamectin contain active ingredients that are ranked as among the leaders in the post-patent market. Methomyl is also available in countries like US, Argentina, and Brazil.

To bolster its move toward food security, JDI currently has in its portfolio the insecticides Chix, Nurelle, and Legend, which effectively control pests and help local farmers attain higher yield, improved income, and better filled grains.

Rotam is supported by a network of strategic partnerships with national and regional distributors as it delivers fully integrated research and development, global product registration, manufacturing, marketing, and technical support to produce high quality and innovative crop protection products.
