As part of our goals to get involved in Agro-Industries in the North American market, we started to import various kind of minerals such as magnesite, phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, etc. as supplements for animal feed by utilizing our customer’s distribution network.

CRF releases nutrients gradually into the soil to feed plants’ nutritional requirements continuously throughout the growth season, resulting in more efficient use of fertilizer and saving labor costs while optimizing nutrient uptake.
