LinkAsia Partners has announced the successful registration of ActiBeet^® in the Philippines. 

ActiBeet^® is produced by AGRANA, a leading sugar producer in Central and Eastern Europe.  The product ActiBeet^® is extracted from Austrian sugar beet molasses and is a natural source of betaine used extensively in animal nutrition. Working together with Arca Galleon Agriventures, its distributor in Philippines, AGRANA has secured approval of ActiBeet® registration from the Bureau of Animal Industry.

David Saunders, CEO of LinkAsia Partners said: "The partnership with Arca Galleon will open doors and help to deliver the benefits of ActiBeet^® to the Philippines market.  The availability of a natural betaine source from AGRANA provides the animal feed industry with a viable alternative for supply. "

"This is a significant milestone for us as it marks the start of our business development in Philippines with Arca Galleon," said Michael Frey, sales director of AGRANA Starch.  "Arca Galleon has a professional team and broad distribution network in the Philippines, and we look forward to working with them as we take ActiBeet^® to market."

"As a leading supplier of refined agricultural raw materials for the food industry, AGRANA has earned a reputation of high product quality, traceability and innovative product concepts making it a supplier of choice for customers in the feed industry," said Jay Sebastian L. Balboa, president of Arca Galleon Agriventures. "Interest for ActiBeet^® as a new supply of natural betaine source has been brewing and we are excited to launch the business plans in the coming months."
