A NEW INTERNET-based pesticide marketing service has been launched by independent agrochemical brokerage, AgChemAccess.

Aimed at distributors and wholesalers, the international AgChemConnect service allows easier buying and selling of chemicals, said the firm’s director, Steve Garner.

“It takes a lot of the legwork out of looking for a particular chemical, saving both time and money for users.”

Buyers and sellers enter details of the chemicals they want to trade onto the website www.agchemaccess.com and details are then sent to over 200 members worldwide, he explained.

Responses from traders go directly to AgChemAccess staff who negotiate the final deal. This provides an anonymous, confidential and secure service, he added.

Interested parties can register with the service for free to receive enquiries, but will need to subscribe (£75+VAT) if they wish to add their own agrochemicals – wanted and/or for sale, he said.
