Diversification of Products
Multi-K Zn
Around 30% of the world’s human population has diets deficient in zinc. Zinc deficiency in
humans affects physical growth, the functioning of the immune system, reproductive health
and neurobehavioural development. Therefore the zinc content of staple foods, such as rice
and wheat, is of major importance.
ZnSO4 is the most popular micro element fertilizer.
