In this case study, a global chemicals and fertilisers company engaged CPL Business Consultants to assess the attractiveness of plant growth promoting micro-organisms (PGPM) and formulate a go-to-market strategy.  CPL’s comprehensive report enabled the client to make an informed decision as part of its overall growth strategy. 

The objective of this study was to assist a client in determining its strategy and approach concerning plant growth promoting micro-organisms (PGPM) sold into the added growth and crop protection markets. The company wished to know if a business based on these organisms was attractive or might become so. The study described the business’s present position and future potential based on information on the companies, products, prices, markets, trends and potential in this area.
