The Federal Commission for the Protection of Health Risks of Mexico (COFEPRIS) issued a certificate of registration to the company "August-Mexico" for the first drug produced by "Augusta" in the country. This insecticide "Tanrek 500" (Tanrek 500), which is designed to control a wide range of pests on citrus crops, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli and chili peppers. Currently, Avgusta products are represented in 30 countries of the world, including the states of Latin and Central America, Africa and the Middle East.
The export-oriented Tanrek 500 suspension concentrate based on imidacloprid has already established itself as a product in demand by farmers abroad, since 2013 it has been successfully sold in Colombia. August sells preparations with this active substance in various concentrations in many countries of its presence, including, in particular, Peru, Ecuador and Zimbabwe.
Tanrek 500 is characterized by pronounced systemic activity, provides a long protective period and allows you to destroy a wide range of pests of crops, including those that feed on the underside of the leaf.
High concentration of the active ingredient, low consumption rate and a wide range of controlled pests (among them aphids, Colorado potato beetle, locusts, whitefly, thrips, lithovers, etc.) make the use of the drug cost-effective for farmers, allowing them to protect crops from a large number of risks at optimal costs.
Currently in Mexico, the drug is approved for use on citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli and chili peppers - crops grown in the country both for domestic consumption and for export.
“In order to register the drug and find mechanisms for its supply to the Mexican market, we had to resolve a whole range of legal and logistical issues,” says Pavel Kaverin, head of the Latin America department at JSC Firma August. – We expect that the first batches of our insecticide will appear in the range of dealer networks within a few months. The list of products we offer will continue to grow: in the next two years, specialists from the subsidiary company August-Mexico will continue to identify market needs and register new products that can combat phytosanitary problems specific to local agriculture.”
