Fagro Group of Mexico

What Fagro Group of Mexico does

Fagro Group of Mexico (legal entity: Farmacia Agroquímica de México, S.A. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican manufacturer of bio-based agricultural inputs, headquartered in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila since its founding in 1995. The company develops, manufactures, and sells a portfolio of certified-organic and conventional crop inputs — including bioinsecticides (Cinna-Mix, Biotika Ricinus), biofungicides (Trikoplant, Blindax, Biotika Gober), microalgae-derived biostimulants (Nerthus line via sister company Neptunus Biotech), plant nutrition products, soil and water conditioners, resistance inducers, and post-harvest solutions (Purex Cleaner, Purex Biosanitizer) — targeted at commercial fruit and vegetable producers across more than 22 crop categories. Its core technology rests on bioactive compounds derived from microalgae produced in controlled photobioreactors, botanical extracts (citrus oils, pine resin, castor oil, Larrea tridentata), and beneficial microorganisms (Trichoderma harzianum).

Fagro operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market: dedicated phone and WhatsApp sales lines, country-specific product catalogs, downloadable case studies, and a social media presence (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn) drive top-of-funnel awareness, while direct sales close transactions with farmers and commercial agricultural operations. The company also runs a contract manufacturing (maquila) service that monetizes in-house formulation capacity for third-party agricultural input brands. The company is part of Grupo Fagro de México, an affiliated corporate group that includes Neptunus Biotech, and holds a stack of international certifications (OMRI, CERES, Kosher, NSF, ISO 9001, ESR 2017/2018/2020) that qualify its products for organic export markets in the US, Europe, and Latin America.

Fagro is currently active across seven countries — Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, and the United States — with all manufacturing centralized at its Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila facility. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public revenue, no completed funding rounds, and no recorded M&A or leadership changes in the source data, consistent with a family- or founder-owned specialty manufacturer that has scaled organically over three decades.
