The company plans to immediately begin construction of a new plant in Orange, Texas, that will continue to make their products.

Demand has been growing for the company's 'alternative' fertilizers, and officials say the growth is in direct response to increasing costs and uncertainty about the current fertilizer markets:

“Amidst continued global conflict and disrupted supply chains, American growers need novel regenerative solutions that improve soil and plant health to achieve higher yields,” said Norm Davy, CCO at Tidal Grow AgriScience. “Made by up-cycling waste from the seafood industry, our plant nutrition and crop protection products offer agronomists and growers creative solutions to solve some of agriculture’s greatest challenges.”
