Mahadhan Agritech ties up with Haifa

New Delhi: Mahadhan Agritech Ltd on Friday said it has tied up with Israel-based Haifa Group for promoting specialty fertilisers to improve the productivity of crops in India and other countries.

Mahadhan Agritech Ltd (MAL), formerly known as Smartchem Technologies, is a 100 per cent subsidiary of Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (DFPCL). "We believe this collaboration will bring positive change in the agricultural sector, thereby empowering farmers," DFPCL Chairman and Managing Director Sailesh C Mehta said in a statement. This partnership will significantly contribute to speed-up MAL's journey in the specialty crop nutrient market, he said. The MAL-Haifa offerings will support agricultural practices that counter the vicious trend of water scarcity and also hugely enhance nutrient uptake and use efficiency in the plants, he added.
