An Argentine company of American origin focused on biological solutions for farmers through the incorporation of microbial technology. The main activity is the production, development and commercialisation of biological products for agriculture as Inoculants, biofertilizers and biostimulants.
The company Crawford Keen & Company –therefore its acronym CKC– from the USA set in Argentina in 1970, the same year when the sustained development of soy cultivation began. At that time, CKC was a leader in incorporating into the agricultural market soy seeds type Hood, Hood-75, Forrest, Essex, Williams, Agripro, and Stuart. Together with the seeds, they incorporated inoculants, being CKC pioneer in the commercialisation, in Argentina, of this kind of nitrogen-fixing bacterium, with the species Rhizobium sp and Bradyrhizobium sp.
After 2001, the company was restructured with national capitals and Laboratorios CKC Argentina S.A. was created. It became stronger after two agreements were signed with INTA. One of them on the installation of an industrial plant in the Park of Technological Innovation INTA Castelar, and another one of Technological Relation with the Institute of Microbiology and Agricultural Zoology, which provides assistance and monitors the production of inoculants for soy before their commercialisation.
The Know How of CKC and the technical support of INTA have as a result top quality products, turning Laboratorios CKC Argentina S.A. into a market leader.
AGREEMENTS WITH INTA
1 Unique plant was installed in the Technological Innovation Park INTA Castelar, Buenos Aires.
