The company is a STARTUP that has been founded in the Kyrgyz Republic in September 2019 by two French investors. They developed, with the help of scientists, a recipe that mixes a hydrogel base with growth activators. The challenge was in assembling the different molecular by keeping the reticulation of the polymer, or, in simple terms, to keep the hydro retainer capacities of the hydrogel active under the action of nutrient elements.
The use of our product presents no problems: we apply it under the roots of any vegetal to supply a water reserve for better growth, which, in turn, is guaranteed by a plant-food basis.
After two years of research, the production of RAINCATCHER nutrient hydrogel started in the Kyrgyz Republic. It will help to increase yields or to reduce significantly the consumption of irrigation water and the number of fertilizers used, including pesticides. Moreover, RAINCATCHER is an environmentally sound solution to fight the drought.
Before presenting our product in France, we’d conducted tests in SGS labs on the presence of acrylamides in cucumbers, cultivated by using our fertilizer. Tests showed the absence of acrylamides in cucumbers. The company aimed to produce the product, which will be susceptible to biodegradation in soil, and which will cause no adverse environmental impact: all conducted tests show that our product is entirely non-toxic and eco-friendly because it completely disappears from the soil under the UV effect.
After our participation in French exhibition SIVAL 2020 from the 14th to 17th of January, we are negotiating with distributors from France, Australia, UAE, Madagascar, Mauritius islands, Mayotte, Egypt, Niger, Morocco, and Cote d’Ivoire. We’ve already planned to sell at least 300 tons in 2020.
