Tagros Chemicals India has taken a significant step toward strengthening its global footprint with the acquisition of global brand assets related to Bayer AG’s Flubendiamide (FLB) active ingredient business across Latin America (LATAM), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC).
The definitive agreement includes solo and mixture formulations of Flubendiamide, along with a comprehensive portfolio of globally recognised trademarks such as BELT, FAME, FENOS, FENOS QUICK, BELT EXPERT, and TIHAN. This acquisition positions Tagros as a stronger global player in the Diamide insecticide segment, one of the most critical classes of modern crop protection solutions.
For Indian farmers, the acquisition translates into greater access to globally trusted, high-quality Diamide-based insecticides that deliver effective control of insect pests in key crops including rice, cotton, vegetables, pulses, and fruits. Flubendiamide-based products are known for their targeted mode of action, long-lasting efficacy, and favourable safety profile, enabling farmers to protect yields while supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Backed by Tagros’ robust manufacturing capabilities, deep technical expertise, and strong understanding of local agronomic conditions, farmers in India are expected to benefit from improved product availability, consistent quality, and enhanced technical support. The move reinforces Tagros’ long-term commitment to boosting farm productivity, reducing crop losses, and strengthening food security.
Globally, the acquisition provides Tagros immediate access to markets across more than 25 countries, significantly expanding its presence in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. It also consolidates the company’s leadership position in the Diamide segment, enhancing its ability to serve diverse agricultural markets worldwide.
Commenting on the transaction, the company said,
“This acquisition marks a defining moment in Tagros’ growth journey. By combining Bayer’s globally established Flubendiamide portfolio with Tagros’ scale, manufacturing strength, and technical depth, we are well positioned to deliver reliable and innovative crop protection solutions to farmers across geographies.”
The transaction also marks Tagros’ strategic entry into the B2C formulations space. The acquired formulations portfolio will be housed under Arqivo, Tagros’ newly established entity focused on branded formulations and direct farmer engagement. Through Arqivo, Tagros aims to build strong farmer-centric brands, enhance on-ground outreach, and deliver solutions tailored to local agronomic needs.
Overall, the acquisition accelerates Tagros’ transformation from a predominantly active-ingredient-focused company into an integrated global crop protection player with strong downstream capabilities. By strengthening customer relationships, enhancing brand equity, and expanding its value chain presence, Tagros is well positioned to create long-term value for farmers in India and across global markets through science-driven, sustainable crop protection solutions.
