Krungsri Securities Public Company Limited stated that ICHI will begin investing in Ton Fertilizer, a business importing, producing, and distributing granulated chemical fertilizer for field crops and horticultural crops, as well as other chemicals and agricultural equipment. The company has registered capital of 150 million baht, with ICHI holding 51% and the remaining 49% held by a partner group with expertise in the fertilizer business. This investment plan amounts to 76.5 million baht for the 51% stake in the granulated chemical fertilizer, or NPK, business.
