EcoPhage, a trailblazer in bacteriophage-based bactericides, is joining forces with Maian Ltda., a leading Brazilian distributor, to bring GoldenEco—a groundbreaking solution for bacterial disease management in tomatoes and peppers—to the Brazilian market. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the pursuit of sustainable agricultural practices.

GoldenEco: A Natural, Residue-Free Solution

GoldenEco is the result of EcoPhage’s cutting-edge research and collaboration with the renowned Weizmann Institute of Science. This innovative solution is specifically designed to combat bacterial diseases in tomatoes and peppers, two of Brazil’s most important crops. By significantly reducing the need for copper and antibiotics—both of which face increasing resistance and regulatory scrutiny—GoldenEco offers farmers a safe, natural, and residue-free alternative to traditional bactericides.

Unlike conventional pesticides, GoldenEco harnesses the power of bacteriophages—natural viruses that target and destroy specific bacterial pathogens. This approach ensures minimal environmental impact while delivering maximum efficacy, making it a game-changer for sustainable agriculture.

Why Brazil?

Brazil is the sixth-largest producer of tomatoes globally, with nearly 20 million tons harvested annually across more than 60,000 hectares. The country’s vibrant agricultural sector, coupled with its increasing focus on sustainable farming, makes it the ideal market for GoldenEco. Maian, headquartered in Brazil, is perfectly positioned to distribute GoldenEco, thanks to its extensive expertise in natural and sustainable products across various industries.

A Vision for Sustainable Agriculture

“Copper and antibiotics are facing rising resistance levels and stricter regulations,” says Guy Elitzur, CEO of EcoPhage. “GoldenEco, built on our innovative bacteriophage platform, addresses these challenges head-on. It has demonstrated superior field performance, delivering better quality and higher yield. We are thrilled to collaborate with Maian, a trusted partner, to introduce this transformative product to Brazilian farmers.”

Angel Dachs, CEO of Maian Ltda., echoes this enthusiasm: “Adding GoldenEco to our portfolio strengthens our commitment to innovation and sustainability. This partnership sets us apart in the market and reinforces our dedication to providing farmers with cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions.”

Transforming the Future of Agriculture

EcoPhage’s mission extends beyond the development of bactericides—it is about revolutionizing agriculture by increasing plant yield, reducing disease-related losses, and promoting sustainability. The company’s proprietary technological platform, developed in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute, enables precise targeting of harmful bacteria without harming beneficial organisms or the environment.

Unlike conventional pesticides, which often leave harmful residues and contribute to environmental degradation, GoldenEco represents a natural, highly effective solution that aligns with the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices.
