Rebranding of UK agronomy services business

Origin Enterprises plc ('Origin' or 'the Group') is pleased to announce the combining of the Group's UK agronomy services businesses, Masstock and UAP under a new identity - Agrii.

Agrii communicates clearly and simply the focus of the business which is to deliver superior agri-intelligence and innovation to UK farming based around the essential components that underpin and maximise sustainable crop yield and profitability.

Agrii signifies the strong relationship that exists between agronomist and farmer along with the delivery of Agrii's 'Agronomy Plus' proposition which combines the most up-to-date agronomy capability, crop technology and complementary expertise in specialist areas.

Commenting on the announcement, Origin Chief Executive Officer Tom O'Mahony said:

"Agrii represents a key milestone in bringing together two of the UK's leading agri-service organisations onto a single platform.

Agrii expresses the essential attributes of our agronomy services business; a commitment to research based agri-intelligence, the expertise of the agronomist and the increased power of individuals working together for the benefit of farmers.

Agrii also distinctively reflects the strength of the Group's market position, combining the benefit of scale with an enhanced technology services capability in smart agriculture solutions and sustainable crop technologies to meet the needs of an increasingly professionalised and automated farming sector."
