Planters Products Inc.

Ang Kumpanya ng Magsasakang Pilipino

About Us

Planters Products, Inc. was established in 1963 as one of the leading Agricultural Chemical Companies in the Philippines.

In 1970 it was purchased by the Sugar Producers Cooperative Marketing Association, the country's largest cooperative of sugar planters, and renamed Planters Products, Incorporated (PPI).

Its primary focus is the manufacturing, production, trading and marketing of agro-chemical products. At present, PPI has twelve (12) brands of crop protection chemicals consisting of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and molluscicides.

PPI's agricultural products are sold throughout the Philippines through a mega network of more than 1000 distributors, dealers, outlets and special accounts nationwide.


Contributions to Philippine Agriculture

In 1972, the Government launched a massive food production program, which included Masagana 99, enabling the Philippines to achieve self-sufficiency in rice for the first time. For ten years, Planters Products, Inc., supplied 70% of the fertilizer requirement of the whole country. During that period, the Company owned and operated a fertilizer plant with a production capacity of 220,000 MT and sold an annual average of 490,340 MT of various fertilizer grades including NP/NPK, urea, ammonium sulfate and muriate of potash.

Planters Products, Inc. also plays a leading role in the transfer of modern agricultural technology to farmers. The Company introduced Filipino farmers to the efficient and economical use of fertilizers. Our modern, fully equipped soil laboratories conduct free analysis on samples provided by farmers and plantation managers. Based on the results, laboratory personnel can make their recommendations regarding the proper kind and volume of fertilizer that should be applied.

Limay Properties

In March 5, 2007, PPI and Grand Asia Capital Corporation (GACC) entered a joint-venture agreement for the development of PPI's properties in Limay, Bataan. The 60/40 venture in favor of GACC has enabled the growth and operation of these properties into a multi-use industrial park.

Formulating Plant

On April 23, 2007, the new site of PPI's Formulating Plant was established. Since then, PPI's Formulating Plant has been located at Carmelray Industrial Park in Calamba, Laguna.

Santa Ana Properties

PPI also entered a joint-venture with CDC Holdings on July 16, 2007 to develop its Santa Ana property into clusters of mid-rise residential condominiums called "Manila Rivercity."

Partnership

PPI is partners with Advanta Seeds International in the distribution of hybrid corn seeds.

Seed To Shelf

Seed to Shelf was launched in support of the Department of Agriculture’s need to assist farmers who had fallen victims to Typhoon Ondoy. This program was designed to help farmers by lending all farming inputs (such as seeds, fertilizer, and crop protection products) at an over 150-day loan term with zero percent interest. Purchase of their produce was also guaranteed and at a premium greater than the prevailing market price. This allowed planters to market their produce direct to consumers to make it more affordable. As a result, Seed to Shelf not only brought fresh and lower-priced produce to the table but also improved the economic well-being of farmers.

Abono sa Uma

A Fertilizer-on-Credit Program by Planters Products in partnership with the Department of Agriculture. The program seeks to help Filipino farmers by providing easy payment schemes for fertilizer and chemical products.
