Aquagri’s processing facility is located in Manamadurai, Tamil Nadu and engages local self-help groups in the region for farming of seaweed.

IFFCO plans to introduce a range of organic non-chemical products for crop nutrition & protection, keeping the farming & home gardening buyers in mind. These products will use seaweeds, freshwater weeds and bio actives using bio-refinery approach to create diversified use of the same biomass.
