Committed to sustainable agriculture

At Agricells, we believe in responsible, environmentally respectful agriculture.
As an innovative agri-biotech company, we develop biological solutions that enhance agricultural productivity while preserving natural resources and soils.

Our convictions

Agricells was founded on the belief that biotechnology can offer reliable, accessible, and sustainable answers to the challenges faced by modern agriculture.

Applied science

We develop our solutions using rigorous scientific approaches, in collaboration with laboratories and field partners.
Every innovation is designed to deliver real, measurable, and reproducible impact.

Responsible innovation

Our technologies rely on microorganisms and natural substances selected for their proven benefits and safety.
We innovate with a constant objective: reducing chemical inputs and protecting soils.

Accessibility and impact

We believe biosolutions only have value if they are truly accessible.
This is why we strive to offer effective, easy-to-use solutions adapted to the economic realities of farmers and distributors.

Developing biological solutions for modern agriculture

“As an agri-biotech player, our mission is to turn research into practical tools for growers. Our goal is to make high-performance natural innovations (ranging from biostimulants to biocontrol) accessible in order to support the transition toward sustainable agriculture. Our ambition goes beyond simply bringing biosolutions to market.
Through our research programs and field trials conducted with public and private partners, we work to preserve soil fertility and promote resilient, sustainable agriculture.”
