Agricon was established in 1985 with an aim to provide high quality plant nutrition to the farmers of India. It started from a small one room premises in Rajkot, Gujarat and is proudly serving more than 1 million farmers every year. It started with a micronutrient brand "Energy" which is now a household name in large parts of the agricultural market. Today the company has over 75 products ranging from primary nutrients, secondary nutrients, micro-nutrients, plant growth promoters, soil conditioners and bio-fertilizers.
From our humble beginnings in 1985, we started to cater to the Saurashtra-Kutch market, and expanded to the entire state of Gujarat in 1990. After seeing the love for our products in our customers and the farming community in general, we decided to expand operations to the neighboring states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in the early 2000s.
As we started expanding to new regions, customer needs and feedback drove us to expand our product range. In this journey, we reached a total of 20 products by 2000, around 40 brands by the year 2010 and approximately 75 brands by 2022.
Our deep interest in the field of agronomy has driven us to offer products which are considered to be of the highest quality and which our customers have repeatedly demanded over the years. Our flexibility to cater to niche markets has allowed us to be nimble while offering products customized to needs of each one of our customers.
The hallmark of our company has been its commitment to customer service, dedication to quality and focus on innovation. We are honored to be serving farmers for more than three decades and we look forward to helping them build a stronger future for generations to come.
Our aim from day 1 has been to provide high quality plant nutrients and agricultural inputs to farmers. With this guiding principle in sight, we make it a point to never compromise on the quality of our products. We ensure that our products always have more to offer than what we claim on the product labels.
The company was founded in 1985 by an experienced agronomist, Mr. Ramesh Patel. Mr. Patel earned his post-graduation with a masters in Agricultural science, with a specialization in Entomology in the year 1982. Post this qualification he worked in the world's leading agrochemicals MNC in various capacities. With a vision to help the farming community in and around his home of Saurashtra, he decided to start with manufacturing micro-nutrients under the brand "ENERGY" back in 1985 when the need of micro-nutrients was not well understood by a majority of the agrarian community.
He spent years communicating the science behind micronutrient requirements in plants and advocating judicious use of fertilizers. A combination of his formal education in agriculture, experience of working in the agrochemicals market and a zeal to educate farmers - he was soon able to make a mark for himself and Agricon.
He steadfastly insists that Agricon should stand for high quality products, right consultation to the farmers and at the forefront of adopting new age technologies helpful to the farming community. His principles guide Agricon to delivering high quality products, and always being open to accepting new advances in the farming inputs for the betterment of the lives of the millions of farmers it serves.
