THE LIVES OF THE

FILIPINO FARMERS"

About Us - A Brief Background

Planters Products, Inc. was established in 1963 as one of the leading Filipino Agricultural Chemical Company. In 1970, it was purchased by the Sugar Producers Cooperative Marketing Association - the country's largest cooperative of sugar planters, and was renamed Planters Products, Incorporated.

The main business of Planters Products, Inc, is the manufacturing, production, trading and marketing of agro-chemical products. At present, the company has twenty one (21) brands of crop protection chemicals consisting of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, plant nutrition, molluscicides, rodenticides and termiticides.

PPI's agricultural products are sold throughout the archipelago through a mega network of more than 1000 distributors, dealers, outlets and special accounts nationwide.

In March 5, 2007, the Company entered a joint-venture agreement (JVA) with Grand Asia Capital Corporation (GACC) for the development of PPI's Limay properties. The joint-venture required PPI to transfer its properties in Limay, Bataan and GACC to develop and operate said properties into a multi-use industrial park under 60/40 venture in favor of GACC.

Also, a lease contract was entered last April 23, 2007 for the new site of PPI's Formulating Plant. The new plant is relocated at Carmelray Industrial Park, Laguna.

The company also entered a joint-venture with CDC Holdings on July 16, 2007 to develop its Sta. Ana property into clusters of mid-rise residential condominiums called "The Manila River City".

It also entered a partnership with Advanta Seeds International in the distribution of hybrid corn seeds.
Contributions To Agriculture Development

In 1972, the Government launched a massive food production program, which included Masagana 99, enabling the Philippines to achieve self-sufficiency in rice for the first time. For ten years, Planters Products, Inc., supplied 70% of the fertilizer requirement of the whole country. During that period, the Company owned and operated a fertilizer plant with a production capacity of 220,000 MT and sold an annual average of 490,340 MT of various fertilizer grades including NP/NPK, urea, ammonium sulfate and muriate of potash.

More importantly, Planters Products, Inc., played a leading role in the transfer of modern agricultural technology to farmers. The Company introduced Filipino farmers to the efficient and economical use of fertilizers. Its modern, fully equipped soil laboratories conducted several free analysis on samples provided by farmers and plantation managers. Based on the results, the laboratory personnel made their recommendations regarding the proper kind and volume of fertilizer that should be applied.
