About us
Mission
Ficosterra develop and provide innovative biotechnological solutions based on seaweed for the agroindustry, promoting a more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly agriculture, while strengthening the profitability of our clients and contributing to the well-being of the planet.
Vision
Ficosterra and Ficosterra América join forces to spearhead the transformation of agriculture towards more sustainable and efficient practices through innovation in marine biotechnology. Our vision is to establish ourselves as global leaders in the development of solutions derived from marine resources that promote soil regeneration, enhance agricultural productivity, and safeguard the environment, thereby benefiting farmers, consumers, and the planet as a whole.
The company
FICOSTERRA is a marine biotechnology company that manufactures products for the agroindustry based on marine algae extractions. We have an experienced and highly skilled team specializing in the development, production, and application of these products.
FICOSTERRA produces biostimulants, carriers, and final products for agrochemical formulators. In close collaboration with our clients, we tailor solutions to meet their specific needs, providing them with the best possible options. We establish relationships grounded in expertise and trust.
Our products combine bacterial inoculants (probiotics) with marine algae extracts (prebiotics) into a single line of products.
Our technologies enable farmers to reduce production costs, enhance plant quality, and increase crop yields.
Our innovative solutions to reduce marine pollution and promote sustainable agriculture has been recognized and awarded by different national and international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme. In 2023, the company was awarded with an European Seal of Excellence.
Ficosterra was born in 2017 thanks to the success of Hispanagar, one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the purified seaweed extracts. With an extensive knowledge on marine hydrocolloids, Hispanagar started working with agar in the 1950s.
Why use our biostimulants
and fertilizers
1
Because they increase the efficiency of agronutrients.
2
Because they will manage to reduce conventional fertilization and at the same time increase the productivity of the crops.
3
Because they help regenerate the soil and provide more vigor and health to the plant.
4
And last but not least: they are 100% ECO products that prevent environmental pollution.
