What Indofil Brasil does

Indofil Brasil (legal name: Indofil Industries do Brasil LTDA) is the Brazilian subsidiary of Indofil Industries Limited, an Indian-founded agrochemical company established in the 1960s as a Rohm and Haas subsidiary that became independent in 1982 and was renamed Indofil Industries Limited in 2009. The parent is the world's second-largest manufacturer of Mancozebe, an active ingredient used in multi-site contact fungicides, and operates five manufacturing plants in Thane and Dahej, India, producing both active ingredients and finished formulations. Indofil Brasil was established in 2020 in São Paulo to bring that chemistry directly into the Brazilian agricultural market.

The company sells five core mancozebe-based fungicides targeting Brazilian row crops and horticulture: Preventis (SC water-based suspension), Manfil 800 WP (wettable powder at 800 g/kg with proprietary humectants/dispersants), Indozeb 750 WG (water-dispersible granules validated in EMBRAPA SOJA cooperative trials), Moximate WP (mancozebe + cymoxanil combination for late blight and downy mildew in potato, tomato, onion, and grape), and Curatis (modern water-based formulation for soybean disease control). All products are sold under Brazilian agronomic-prescription requirements, and the company has built a regional representative network with an interactive 'Onde Comprar' (Where to Buy) map, Instagram presence, and YouTube educational content featuring recognized agronomists.

Commercially, Indofil Brasil operates a hybrid B2B/B2C model: it supplies Mancozebe as a primary upstream input to major multinational agrochemical companies while simultaneously reaching Brazilian soybean, cotton, corn, and horticultural farmers through its representative network and technical-support-led direct engagement. The entity holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 18000 certifications via the parent group's manufacturing operations, and has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes — appearing to operate as an execution arm of a privately held, profitable Indian parent group.
