“Norofert, the leading producer of organic inputs and biotechnology provider for agriculture, listed on the AeRO market (symbol BVB: NRF) of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, announces the official launch of the Norofert Brasil LTDA fertilizer production line in Chapeco – Brazil.

The construction of the production line took approximately 1 year, and the investment value is half a million euros, financed equally by both partners.
The new production facility, with a capacity of 15,000 liters per day, represents an important step towards the internationalization of the Norofert business model, being built according to the same technological concept implemented in South Dakota, USA.

For Romanian companies that invest and grow, especially in difficult times, investments offer the opportunity to accelerate development and consolidate competitive advantages. The official launch of the Norofert production line in Brazil represents a success for a Romanian company in one of the largest and most dynamic agricultural markets in the world.
