- NOUSBO CO., LTD. is an agricultural technology and chemical manufacturing company specializing in the research, development, production, and distribution of advanced plant nutrition solutions, controlled-release fertilizers, and specialized agricultural materials. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company operates across four primary business divisions: Agricultural Inputs, Professional Turf and Amenity, Home Gardening and Urban Agriculture, and Global Trade and Food.
The company manufactures and markets a comprehensive portfolio of specialized plant nutrition and soil management products, including controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) engineered with proprietary polymer coating technologies for single-application efficiency in paddy rice and field crops; water-soluble and liquid compound fertilizers formulated for fertigation, foliar feeding, and precision greenhouse horticulture; certified organic fertilizers, biological crop enhancers, and microbial soil conditioners designed to enhance root establishment and nutrient bioavailability; professional golf course and sports turf management formulations, including specialty greens fertilizers, turf colorants, and soil wetters; functional plant biostimulants containing amino acids, humic substances, and micronutrient complexes; and retail-ready home gardening nutrients, including effervescent fertilizer tablets and concentrated liquid feeds commercialized internationally under the Dr. Joe and Plant Therapy brands. Additionally, the company engages in the sourcing, processing, and export distribution of premium agricultural commodities and food ingredients.
Nousbo serves commercial agribusinesses, large-scale crop growers, golf course superintendents, horticultural enterprises, and retail consumers across South Korea, North America, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Latin America. Its international operations and commercial activities are supported by overseas subsidiaries, including Nousbo USA Inc., alongside regional sales networks and distribution partnerships.
In recent developments, Nousbo has strategically expanded its global market presence and advanced its sustainable agriculture portfolio. The company has focused on developing and commercializing next-generation biodegradable coating materials for its controlled-release fertilizers to address microplastic contamination and comply with stringent international environmental standards. Nousbo has expanded international commercial partnerships and export channels for its CRF products into large-scale plantation and cash-crop markets across Southeast Asia and the Americas. Furthermore, the company has broadened the global retail and e-commerce distribution footprint of its Dr. Joe consumer brand across North America and Europe, while reinforcing investments in eco-friendly biological inputs, smart farm-compatible nutrition formulas, and automated production line enhancements.
