Vestaron, a company dedicated to improving the efficacy and sustainability within crop protection and BFG Supply, have recently signed a distribution agreement to bring Spear-T to ornamental and greenhouse vegetable growers.  

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to partner with BFG Supply to bring this new technology to greenhouse growers.  BFG’s market presence and industry knowledge will be critical to expand the uses of not only Spear-T but also the new products following close behind,” explains Ben Cicora, SVP Sales & Marketing, “ 

Michigan-based developer of biologic crop protection products, is evaluating its options to accelerate its global expansion, said CEO Anna Rath.

“At one end of the spectrum, we could choose to sell international rights to our products and use that proceeds to further development in the US,” she said. “At the other end of the spectrum, we could decide to proceed with international registrations on our own, so that we maintain full ownership of all international rights and are then in a position to gain a larger share of the downstream value from the product.”

Vestaron wants farmers to know that its peptide-based products are different from existing microbial products, offering more consistent efficacy with the same environmental benefits.

Peptide-based biopesticide company Vestaron closed a $40 million Series B led by Danish life sciences group Novo Holdings alongside continuing investors Anterra Capital, Cultivian Sandbox, Open Prairie Ventures, and Pangaea Ventures.
