History
The origins of Chaccour Agricultural Company traces back to 1919, the year a family owned corporation specialized in the general trading of various industrial and agricultural commodities was established in Damascus as Chaccour Frères by Khalil and Emile Chaccour.
Chaccour Frères undertook an export business of locally produced commodities such as dried apricot paste, aromatic & medicinal seeds, and the import of general agricultural chemicals. Among these products were the fungicide used as seed treatment H.C.B 20%, the soil pesticide B.H.C 6%, and Bordeaux mixture used as a broad spectrum fungicide. Chaccour Frères stood out as a prominent Syrian agricultural company since then.
By the mid-1970s, as Syrian demographics expanded and food self-sufficiency policies were adopted by the government, the agricultural sector witnessed a boost in investment and adoption of modern techniques. The market demand for more specialized and efficient pesticides and fertilizers grew significantly.
Chaccour Frères started consequently in 1974 the import and distribution of high-end agricultural pesticides and fertilizers on a large scale. The success of this venture led to the establishment of Chaccour Agricultural Company in 1978 by Nicolas Chaccour.
