Expanding international markets: Repont Agrochemical’s global registration strategy

Repont Agrochemical’s presence in overseas markets is equally impressive, with more than 400 overseas independent and cooperative registrations across vital countries and regions in South America, North America, the European Union, and Southeast Asia. These registrations not only facilitate access to international markets but also provide robust support for the company’s internationalization strategy.

As the company continues to expand in both domestic and international markets, these registrations will serve as vital assets for its sustainable growth.

In 2024, Repont Agrochemical reached a significant milestone in its internationalization strategy, obtaining equivalent registration approval for Tribenuron-methyl TC and Thifensulfuron-methyl TC in the European Union (Table 1). This marks a crucial step in its plan for global market expansion, with expectations that by 2025, at least five technical material products will obtain equivalent registrations in the European Union.

Additionally, eight products are currently being registered in countries such as Brazil, the United States, Canada, and Australia. This will lay a solid foundation for the company to further strengthen and expand its presence in the international market.
