 | Sep 25, 2017 08:45AM ET

Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:MBII) and Elephant Vert entered into a distribution deal under which the latter will develop and market two of Marrone Bio’s products namely, the biofungicide Reysana and bionematicide Majestene, in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.

Bionematicide Majestene protects crops from yield-robbing nematodes and is currently under the process of registration. Biofungicide Reysana is used by growers of peppers, tomatoes, cucurbits and grapes. It contains same ingredients as Marrone Bio’s Regalia Maxx Biofungicide, which is presently marketed and sold in more than 10 countries.

The two pioneering companies in the biological crop protection market have the knowledge and products to bring sustainable solutions, which can improve both quality and yield to farmers in North Africa.

Elephant Vert is a Swiss group that develops and markets biofertilizers, organic amendments, biostimulants and natural biopesticides produced in four production units. According to Elephant Vert, integration of biopesticides into crop protection programs is increasingly important for exporters of vegetables in the region and also benefits all production. The deal opens up potential development opportunities to offer growers in North Africa with a vast range of innovative, efficient and natural solutions.
