    Agri-farming of non-commoditized products

    Distributors wanted for Western Australia olive products

    Two Western Australian olive businesses are heading on a new path, now under the guidance of ZAGRO Asia.

    A publicly listed group in Singapore with 60 years of experience in the agribusiness industry, ZAGRO has an industry presence in more than 70 countries worldwide. The company has decided to selectively invest in the agri-farming of non-commoditized products, with olive farming identified as one promising avenue.

    The 7000-tree Wickham Olive Grove at Gingin has been purchased by the company in Western Australia and will continue to produce a range of high quality Kalamata table olives and olive oil. Following organic practices and free from chemical application, Wickham Grove is the only olive producer in Western Australia producing Kalamata olives exclusively in its own processing plant.

    ZAGRO has also taken a strategic interest in Eagle Vale Olives, in the Chapman Valley north of Perth. A family run business for 20 years, the owners felt it was time for another company who share the same aspirations and passion to expand Eagle Vale Olives to an international level.

    The business produces a quality range of olive products, from table olives, tapenade and infused olive oils to award winning extra virgin olive oil.

    ZAGRO Asia are now looking for importers and distributors for these high quality olive products, and welcome enquiries from interested parties.

    Enquiries may be directed to contact@wickhamolive.com or eaglevaleolives@westnet.com.au, or for more information go to: www.wickhamolive.com and www.eaglevaleolives.com.au.

  • Eureka Gold – ZAGRO Australia

    Eureka Gold – ZAGRO Australia

    PR: May 07, 2014

    ZAGRO Asia Limited (“ZAGRO”), a public listed group in Singapore, has announced that its subsidiary, ZAGRO Singapore Pte Ltd has terminated the distributorship contract of Eureka Gold to MSD Animal Health (Australia) effective 10th June of 2014.

    ZAGRO is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of crop care and animal health products globally. With 60 years of experience in the agribusiness industry, ZAGRO has manufacturing facilities, operating offices and presence in more than 70 countries.

    ZAGRO’s established portfolio of products for Animal Health, Crop Care and Public Health could bring viable options to the Australian customers as the decision to manage Eureka Gold directly will give ZAGRO a significant foothold in the Australian market.

    EUREKA GOLD, a Diazinon-based off-shears product for sheep lice control is currently the best choice in the off shears spray-on market in Australia and has no known field resistance. EUREKA GOLD, applied within 24 hours of shearing, is a spray-on backline lice treatment indicated for the control of organophosphate (OP) susceptible, synthetic pyrethroid (SP) and insect growth regulator (IGR) resistant strains of the sheep body louse (Bovicola ovis). Containing diazinon, Eureka Gold provides rapid knockdown of lice by disrupting their nervous system without the need to dip sheep. This avoids the inconvenience of dipping and its associated costs. Treated sheep are easily identified by the scourable yellow dye incorporated into the product.

    Sheep lice cost Australian sheep producers about $125 million per year in lost production. Eureka Gold’s application cost is only 0.54cents/sheep and it guarantees impressive efficacy which results to outstanding user reviews.

    ZAGRO’s vision is to always build long-term solutions to an ever-increasing demand for higher quality products at affordable prices for our global customers. We are also constantly looking for quality partners. Should you be able to add value to Eureka Gold or to collaborate with ZAGRO, please contact us.
