Appeal to your customers with Valena in the mix.
At Kemin, we understand healthy plants need more than just care as they grow – they need a great start with the best possible growing media.
Valena™ is a new soil amendment and sustainable solution for growing media manufacturers.
Valena is a natural material derived from Euglena gracilis, a paramylon-rich type of unicellular algae that, when added in the growing media, primes the soil for optimal plant growth.
Because your customers - young plant growers - deserve the highest quality media foundation; Valena offers novel options for researchers searching for new ideas and innovative solutions to build new formulas.
Distinguish yourself from the pack: add value for your customers by adding Valena in either your professional or custom-blend mixes.
