AgroMex, an Oil-Dri Corporation of America Company

AgroMex is part of Amlan International, an Oil-Dri Company.

CHICAGO, June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amlan® International, the animal nutrition and health business of Oil-Dri® Corporation of America (NYSE: ODC), a global leader in mineral science for over 80 years, is pleased to announce the completion of its acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interest of Agromex Importaciones, S.A. de C.V. on May 12, 2023. Amlan now holds 100% ownership of its subsidiary in Mexico, further solidifying its position in the Mexican market.

Oil-Dri initially acquired a majority share in Agromex Importaciones in 2018, establishing a presence in Mexico’s animal health industry. Building on this successful partnership, Amlan has taken this strategic step to instill confidence in their customers and leverage the full potential of Agromex to accelerate its growth in the region. This ownership structure reinforces Amlan’s commitment to providing the market with the highest standards of operational excellence as a reliable partner in animal production, offering proven products and superior technical service.

With this acquisition, Agromex will benefit from the leadership of a new Board of Directors consisting of industry experts and seasoned professionals. Dr. Wade Robey, President, Amlan International, and Vice President of Agriculture, Oil-Dri Corporation of America has been appointed as the Chairman of the Board. Dr. Robin Jarquin, Regional Director Latin America, will oversee the operations of Agromex, ensuring a seamless transition and continued success of the subsidiary.

“The poultry industry in Mexico is significant with approximately 46 million broilers processed weekly. Although a substantial portion of the poultry industry in Mexico already uses mycotoxin binders, tremendous growth is still possible. With rising feed prices, at times uncertain grain quality, and the consumers’ desire to remove antibiotics when possible, the products in our portfolio can deliver real value to producers. With this recent change of Agromex’s ownership and sales strategy, we expect to grow Amlan’s business in Mexico rapidly over the next three years,” said Dr. Robin Jarquin.

Agromex will maintain its core focus on selling Amlan’s portfolio of innovative feed additives including Varium® and NeoPrime®, our patented formulations designed to promote efficiency for poultry and swine; Phylox®, a natural alternative to anticoccidial drugs and vaccines; Calibrin® -Z to defend against a broad spectrum of biotoxins; and Calibrin® -A to rapidly bind aflatoxin. By leveraging mineral technology, our products optimize intestinal health to help enhance animal performance, productivity, and overall well-being.

“We are excited about the prospects this acquisition brings and are eager to further strengthen the relationship with our customers in Mexico,” said Heath Wessels, Vice President of Sales, the Americas. The combined expertise and resources of Amlan, Oil-Dri and Agromex will contribute to the continued success and growth of our business in Mexico.

Sensegen launches bio-based Exotic Flavors collection

Unveiling at IFT First 2023 in Chicago July 17 – 19

Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sensegen, the pioneering biotechnology-based solution provider in taste, smell, and beauty, has launched its highly anticipated Exotic Flavors collection.

Sensegen has created a range of captivating flavors for food and beverages. The collection features six unique exotic true-to-fruit flavors: lychee, guava, papaya, yuzu, dragon fruit, and violet.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Exotic Flavors collection to the market, representing a significant milestone in our mission to redefine taste and consumer experiences,” said Natasha D’Souza, VP of Flavors and Consumer Experience at Sensegen.

By leveraging our bio-based solutions, we invite food and beverage companies to explore the immense potential of these flavors across different categories and create truly personalized experiences for their consumers,” said D’Souza.

According to Sensegen’s Sensory and Consumer Insights Center, 48% of consumers identified exotics as a top flavor. Consumers are open to more adventurous flavors in social settings or when they feel exploratory. In alcoholic beverages, consumers consider unique, exotic, and natural flavors as the top three desired characteristics.

Sensegen will unveil the Exotic Flavors collection at IFT First in Chicago, July 17-19, 2023, at its creative partner Blue California’s booth S1670. In anticipation of the collection, IFT attendees will be the first to taste food and beverage prototypes made with the flavors and complimentary ingredients from Sensegen’s sugar reduction solutions partner Sweegen.

What to Experience at IFT First 2023
IFT Attendees can expect several exciting prototypes to inspire their products with the Exotic Flavors.
A sneak preview is below.

  • Yuzu-flavored iced tea featuring Sensegen’s yuzu natural flavor with Blue California’s longevity vitamin ergothioneine and Sweegen’s Signature Stevia and taste modulation solutions.
  • Dark chocolate truffles flavored with Sensegen lychee and natural violet flavor.

  • Dragon fruit-flavored sparkling water flavored with Sensegen’s dragon fruit natural flavor.

This launch results from Sensegen’s relentless pursuit of innovation and commitment to providing consumers with unique taste experiences. The Exotic Flavors collection is supported by the company’s proprietary quantitative research conducted nationally with over 1,500 consumers. This comprehensive study explored the beverage and food choices people make in various situations, the influence of mood on those decisions, and the underlying reasons behind them.

Sensegen’s insights from this research offer invaluable guidance to food and beverage companies seeking to inspire innovation with mood-centric flavors. By understanding that mood, food, and beverage choices can vary significantly among individuals, industry players can use this research to tap into the full potential of their offerings and deliver tailored experiences to their diverse consumer base.

In line with Sensegen’s commitment to sustainability and biotechnology, the Exotic Flavors collection is produced by bioconversion. This approach ensures the highest quality and authenticity while minimizing the environmental impact of flavor production.

Deputy PM directs fight against IUU, smuggling, drug trafficking in Mekong Delta

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang chaired a teleconference in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on June 28 to direct the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; boundary demarcation; prevention and control of crimes, drug and human trafficking, smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods.

At the event, the Deputy PM required 13 regional cities and provinces to exert the greatest possible efforts towards the primary goal of ensuring no vessels are detained abroad due to illegal fishing from now to October.

Local authorities should intensify management of their fishing fleets to prevent illegal fishing in foreign waters and coordinate with competent agencies to investigate and punish violations of fishing regulations, he said.

Quang instructed the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to complete amendments to Decree 42/2019/ND-CP on administrative penalties in the fisheries sector in July.

He particularly urged local authorities to carry out the two long-term tasks assigned by the Ministry Agriculture and Rural Development, which are promoting occupational transition for fishermen to have alternative livelihoods, and increasing aquatic resources through boosting aquaculture.

Regarding the fight against smuggling and trade fraud, the Deputy PM underlined the three most outstanding problems of fake fertilisers, cross-border smuggling and illicit trafficking of petrol products via seaway./.

Foreign Minister highlights results of PM’s official visit to China

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s official visit to China has contributed to concretising the common perceptions of the two Party General Secretaries, especially the joint statement on continuing to promote and deepen the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership issued in December 2022, said Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son.

In an interview granted to the press after the PM concluded his trip on June 28 evening, Son affirmed the visit was a great success, and recorded many important results.

Political trust between the two countries has been strongly strengthened, creating an important foundation for promoting and deepening the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in the new situation, bringing benefits to the people of the two countries.

PM Chinh held talks and met with four top leaders of China, including General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Zhao Leji, and Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Wang Huning.

The leaders of the two countries emphasised the importance of enhancing political trust, properly handling and controlling differences, towards developing the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in a stable, healthy, effective and long-lasting manner.

The Chinese leaders affirmed that China attaches great importance to the friendship relationship between the two Parties and the two countries, demonstrating their sincerity and goodwill in further deepening cooperation between the two sides, especially via the Party channel, and in key areas such as security and defence.

In particular, Party General Secretary and President Xi stated that developing relations with Vietnam is China’s strategic choice, and China attaches importance to developing long-term relations with Vietnam.

The two sides reached many important common perceptions and agreed on many specific measures to promote multifaceted cooperation between the two countries, contributing to strengthening the bilateral relations in the near future, Son said.

The two sides agreed to improve the quality of economic, trade and investment cooperation, enhance transport connectivity, improve customs clearance efficiency, maintain smooth trade and ensure production and supply chains, he added.

The Chinese side promised to increase the import of Vietnamese goods, especially agricultural products; increase quotas for Vietnamese goods in transit by Chinese railway to third countries; and expand high-quality investment into the fields suitable to the demand of Vietnam.

The two sides reached many important agreements on maintaining regular exchanges and meetings through the channels of the Party, Government, National Assembly, Fatherland Front, ministries, sectors and localities. They agreed to resume people-to-people exchange activities.

In addition to official activities, PM Chinh attended and delivered a speech at the Vietnam – China Business Forum, which saw the participation of a large number of Chinese enterprises. He also had meetings with representatives of Chinese companies.

Chinese enterprises all highly valued Vietnam’s investment environment and expressed their desire to expand investment in the Southeast Asian nation in the time to come.

Son also highlighted the significance of PM Chinh’s presence at the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC) of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Tianjin, China, saying that the Vietnamese government leader had practical, effective and open exchanges with leaders of many countries, international organisations and leading corporations in the world on the sidelines of the event.

PM Chinh shared many viewpoints, approaches, and effective, practical and timely solutions of Vietnam to promote global economic growth.

The PM’s message on the three fundamental factors for economic development has been applauded and become a highly unified orientation at the meeting.

PM Chinh’s attendance at the event has further contributed to promoting practical relations between Vietnam and the WEF, Son said, adding that the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides for the 2023-2026 period has created a foundation to expand the relations between the two sides in the new period.

The WEF will further promote cooperation with, and support Vietnam in policy-making and building capacity to adapt to new development trends; assist ministries, sectors and localities in developing smart agriculture, industrial clusters towards net zero emissions, and establishing a fourth industrial revolution centre in Vietnam.

Meetings between PM Chinh and leaders of other countries on the sidelines of the event also contributed to further deepening the relations between Vietnam and Mongolia, New Zealand, and Barbados, especially in potential areas such as economy, commerce, and tourism, Son noted.

Through meetings with representatives of leading corporations have helped introduce Vietnam’s achievements, potential, strengths, goals and development orientations, and offered a chance for foreign businesses to understand more about the country’s policies and investment environment, thus pouring more investment in Vietnam.

It could be said that the PM’s participation for the first time at the WEF’s summer annual conference has left a good impression on the international business community about the country’s role and position as well as potential and bright prospects of the Vietnamese economy, Son concluded./.
