One of the key factors to the success of this company lies in identifying the needs of the grass-root level farmers. For the convenience of small-scale farmers, their products have been converted into smaller pack sizes, whilst ensuring the stringent quality standards of the suppliers. According to the Management, their highest achievement over the years is being able to carry out the re-packing of the products as well as formulate our own brand of Vitamin & Mineral Premixes, under the brand name "FarmStar", in their own factory complex.

Although starting as a very small business, Farmchemie has always been quality conscious and has looked out for ways and means to enhance services. Recognising the need of educating the farming community to uplift standards, Farmchemie started conducting a series of awareness programmes islandwide.

These were a resounding success as the farmers who were able to find solutions to their problems and also broaden their knowledge.

In July 2002, Farmchemie (Private) Limited was incorporated in Sri Lanka as a limited liability company and commenced its operations on a very small scale. Farmchemie is registered under the Dept. of Animal Production and Health as an Importer and Distributor of Veterinary Pharmaceuticals Feed Additives and Biologicals.

During the past ten years, Farmchemie has been developing a quality range of Veterinary Pharmaceuticals, Feed Additives, Biologicals and Poultry equipment and this implementation of product introduction scheme.
