FICOSTERRA

Ficosterra is a marine biotechnology company based in Burgos, Spain, that develops and manufactures seaweed-based solutions for the agricultural industry. Founded as a spin-off of Hispanagar, the company leverages extensive expertise in marine hydrocolloids to produce a range of biofertilizers, biostimulants, soil activators, and nitrogen fixers. Its proprietary technologies, such as the biological crop booster (BCB) and the total recovery deployment (TRD) extraction process, combine prebiotic seaweed extracts with probiotic microbial inoculants. These solutions are designed to be animal-free, environmentally friendly, and suitable for both organic and conventional farming practices.

These biotechnological products help farmers improve crop quality, increase yields, and enhance soil health by restoring microbial balance and optimizing nutrient uptake. By reducing the reliance on conventional chemical fertilizers, Ficosterra’s solutions support more sustainable agricultural practices and help manage production costs. The company’s innovative approach has been recognized with various international awards, including a European Seal of Excellence, and it actively collaborates with research centers to develop advanced, marine-derived agricultural inputs. The company serves farmers across Europe, Africa, and Latin America, providing tailor-made formulations to meet specific crop needs and improve overall agronomic performance.
