Insumos Agroquimic

What Insumos Agroquimic does

Insumos Agroquimic, operating as InsuAgro, is an Argentine agrochemical company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Buenos Aires. It manufactures and distributes a broad crop-input portfolio spanning herbicides (Stern, Nicosulfuron 4% LPU Mito), insecticides, fungicides, coadjuvants/adjuvants (Centauro), growth regulators (Belcocel), and specialty plant nutrition and biostimulant products (the STARFERT family, STRESS STOP, Insu-Star PZ, Biosalmon). Its proprietary technology base rests on formulation know-how — including organic-extract and humic/fulvic acid-based liquid fertilizers, amino-acid biostimulants, and microgranule starter chemistry — assembled into the FAMA environmentally friendly product line. The company holds multiple SENASA-style product registrations across Argentina.

InsuAgro goes to market exclusively through a network of more than 70 authorized distributors covering Argentina's principal agricultural regions from Buenos Aires and the Pampas through to Salta, Tucumán, and Entre Ríos, providing technical, commercial, and logistical support to producers of maize, soybean, wheat, cotton, fruits, and vegetables. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales to distributors; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is publicly listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA: INAG) and as of 2024 is operationally integrated into Grupo BIOCERES, an Argentine ag-biotech conglomerate, while retaining the InsuAgro brand and identity. Co-founder and director Luis Delcassé remains associated with the company. The firm operates with a lean headcount of 11-50 employees, consistent with its asset-light distribution-and-formulation model.
