"Our current focus is the production of biorational pesticides and biostimulants that support the growth of organic products and are therefore aligned with the company’s sustainability goals."
"Kuantan provides an opportunity to shift investment from the more crowded and more expensive West Coast to the cheaper, more accommodating East Coast, which is perfectly positioned for doing business with the Far East."
