Key products include fertilizers, pesticides (such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) as well as agricultural chemical products such as insect repellants, sheep dips, fly sprays, flea powders etc. Key markets serviced include the agricultural sector as well as households and various commercial and industrial users. Key inputs are sourced from other chemical industries reflecting the interdependent nature of the industry.
