Agriculture, the foundation of nation building…
Caribbean Chemicals and Agencies Limited (CCAL) of Port of Spain, Trinidad, since 1966 is the pioneer of the English speaking Caribbean’s agricultural business, introducing and educating Farmers on the safe use of improved technology in a wide range of agricultural inputs. CCAL has established offices in Guyana, Suriname and now Jamaica.
We started as “Ag Chem Plant Limited” in July 2015 and in February 2021 rebranded to Caribbean Chemicals & Agencies (Jamaica) Limited (aka CCJ) reflecting pride in being a part of the Caribbean Chemicals group of companies.
Today, CCJ is the leader in crop care (nutrition and protection) in Jamaica. We are devoted to and focussed on helping Farmers to contribute to national development and food security by increasing yield through efficient, effective nutrition programs and controlling pests and diseases.
As the sole formulator of pesticides in Jamaica (and CARICOM) we develop, formulate and distribute a wide range of products for the Caribbean Farmer.
CCJ is the regional manufacturer and master distributor for the English speaking Caribbean for the VAPE line of in-home mosquito control products.
