The world’s over‑dependence on China for crop protection inputs has created supply‑chain volatility and national strategic risk. Proxag is built to solve that
TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Proxag, a newly formed U.S.-based agriculture technology company with operations in Brazil and Portugal, today announced its official launch and the appointment of its founding executive leadership team. The company develops, manufactures, and distributes sustainable crop protection solutions, bio‑rational adjuvants, biopesticides, biostimulants, and specialty fertilizers for global agriculture markets.
Members of Proxag’s leadership previously held senior roles at Oro Agri, where they contributed to the company’s global expansion, portfolio development, and operational infrastructure. Under their leadership, Oro Agri grew into an international business in bio‑rational crop protection, culminating in its acquisition by Omnia Holdings in 2018 for approximately USD 100 million, and the subsequent announced sale to another agricultural chemical company in 2020 at an enterprise value of approximately USD 165 million. These historical references illustrate the team’s experience in scaling agriculture platforms; Oro Agri and Omnia are separate and unaffiliated companies.
“We are bringing together deep experience in bio‑rational agriculture at a time when the market has never been stronger,” said Co‑CEO Erroll Pullen, founder of Oro Agri. “This team knows how to scale products globally, build manufacturing infrastructure, and deliver results. We’re excited to apply those lessons to build Proxag.”
“Agriculture is facing an unprecedented need for locally manufactured molecules and regionally developed technologies,” said Co‑CEO Donovan Pullen. “The world’s over‑dependence on China for critical crop protection inputs has created both supply‑chain volatility and national strategic risk. Proxag is built to solve that. Our strategy focuses on developing proprietary formulations close to the markets we serve, leveraging regional manufacturing in the U.S., Brazil, and Europe to ensure reliability, resilience, and long‑term sustainability for growers worldwide.”
