About Agriges

Agriges has been producing and marketing special fertilizers for organic and integrated farming since 1988and relies on 5 production plants based in Italy, precisely in San Salvatore Telesino (BN), where all phases of the production cycle are carried out and constantly monitored: from the acquisition of raw materials up tothe packaging of the finished product, which is distributed all over the world. Agriges is present in over 20 countries between Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, thanks to its various branches abroad (Agriges Ibérica, Agriges Bolivia, Agriges Maroc) as well as through a network of distributors and specialised technicians, who contribute day by day to consolidate Agriges’ image worldwide.

Mission and key values

Agriges’ mission is to provide solutions for modern and sustainable farming aimed at meeting both farmers’ and consumers’ needs, with the utmost attention for the protection of the environment and for worker safety.

1. Man as the company’s focus
   The commitment to actively respect the Rights of the Person and the Worker, as well as the affirmation of shared values within and outside the company, in implementation of the UN Principles on Business and Human Rights.
   
   
2. Environment
   The selection of raw materials and the introduction of innovative and environmentally friendly production technologies, capable of maximising the efficiency of agricultural crops and meeting consumer demands while guaranteeing sustainable farming.

Attention to quality

Agriges designs its products with extreme care, starting from the research and selection of raw materials. The company, in fact, constantly monitors both raw materials and finished products, guaranteeing full traceability as for the entire production process. Particular attention is paid to ensure the absence of any contaminants such as perchlorates, chlorocresol, heavy metals, nitrates, antibiotics, and unwanted residues in fruit and vegetables.

In order to ensure high quality and effective formulations, Agriges boasts three important System Certifications. Quality (UNI EN ISO 9001:2015): every production, organisational and decision-making process is planned, controlled and traced. Environment (UNI EN ISO 14001:2015): every activity is planned with the aim of safe-guarding the environment. Safety (UNI EN ISO 45001:2018): every process is followed to safeguard health and safety at work. Working in Italy and abroad, Agriges had to obtain more certifications. In fact, some Agriges products can be used in contexts of certified organic agriculture with the certification bodies SOHISCERT and CAAE, valid throughout Europe.

Research

Research is definitely the aspect on which company policy has its focus, a necessary way to develop safe and sustainable products, capable of maximising the results of agricultural production. That is why Agriges has two in-house laboratories and a team of field experimenters: the Agriges Field Technical Service (FTS).

Research labs

The company has two in-house laboratories: one chemical for quality control, and one microbiological which is responsible for ascertaining the healthiness of raw materials and finished products, as well as for developing new formulations and implementing the existing ones. All Agriges products are born with the rigour of scientific investigation, respecting the environment and the operator, and are intended to be a practical answer to specific field issues.

The Green Path project

Agriges’ challenge is to provide technical means that allow achieving abundant yields, sustainable from an environmental point of view and at the same time safe from a nutritional point of view. This is the very core of the Green Path project: producing more and producing healthily. The project involves Agriges’ collaboration with research institutes, experimental centres, universities, cooperatives and farms with the aim of developing products in such a way as to maximise crops, thereby reducing the use of potentially polluting chemicals. FTS is the organisation of Agronomists and professional experts that supports the company’s sales network and tests products in collaboration with the Agriges laboratories, Italian and foreign universities, institutions, local associations and farms. FTS’ task is to identify a field issue or need and to conduct tests of functionality and repeatability of Agriges’ new formulations, implementing their development on all crops of agricultural interest.
