What manvert does

manvert is the commercial brand of Sustainable Agro Solutions, S.A.U. (SAS), a privately-held Spanish agro-biotechnology company founded in the late 1980s and headquartered in Almacelles (Lleida), Spain. The company researches, manufactures, and markets biostimulants and plant nutrition solutions for professional agriculture, organized into eight product families: biostimulants, soil and water conditioners, deficiency correctors, Lignovert tech complexed micronutrients, adjuvants, NPK+microelement formulations, iron chelates, and resistance inducers. Its portfolio of more than 50 branded SKUs addresses yield improvement, fruit quality, post-harvest life, calcium physiopathies, and abiotic stress (drought, salinity, frost, heat) across 90+ crops. Underlying technology rests on four proprietary platforms developed in-house: Seavert tech (differential-pressure extraction of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed without chemical solvents), Lignovert tech (chelation technology for improved nutrient absorption and leaf permanence, trademarked), Neovert tech, and PACaR (a root-applied calcium absorption promoter). Efficacy is validated through more than 1,000 field trials, with flagship products manvert foliplus and manvert silikon individually backed by 220+ and 170+ trials respectively.

manvert generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of agricultural inputs via a global distributor network spanning 50+ countries across four continents, supplemented by three wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Morocco, Mexico, and Chile. The go-to-market combines channel-partner distribution with a community-led model through Croptology, a knowledge-sharing platform launched in 2008 that engages professional farmers and agronomists with technical advice, webinars, and field-day events. The company is privately held with no external venture or private equity investment disclosed, and operates a 51–100 person organization with over 20% allocated to R&D. Customer segments span professional farmers (SMB and commercial), agricultural distributors and cooperatives, and agronomists/agricultural advisors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct inquiry, consistent with a B2B specialty-input distribution model. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, RD 506/2013, REACH, and CLP compliance, and manvert foliplus obtained official EU biostimulant registration under Regulation 2019/1009 in 2025.
