My objective is arming farmers worldwide to use the bio control method for plant diseases, bio fertilizers combined with certain live microorganisms as benefit bacterial, and resistant fungus in bio control to increase the plant's abilities to resist adverse conditions of the environment for all crops to improve the soil nutrient, environment, crop yields and quality of products for better human heath in the world.

Horace Horumba, President of PHI Group - Eastern Europe said, “We are pleased and enthused to implement a complete production facility with a research and development arm in Timis County, Romania.

Through our collaboration with the President of AGRALIM Section & Member of managing board from Timis Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture, Mr. Darius Georgiu stated: “We are pleased to support and encourage all progressive development towards organic agricultural products as Romanian and European Union movements are towards organic development in the agriculture process.”
