Cebu-Based Ahcil Laboratories Champions Organic Solutions in Philippine Agriculture: Delivering homegrown, science-backed innovations that empower farmers, restore soil health, and promote sustainable farming nationwide.
By the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ahcil Laboratories, Inc.
In a world increasingly challenged by food insecurity, environmental degradation, and climate change, sustainable agriculture is no longer a choice but a necessity. Answering this call is Ahcil Laboratories, Inc., a proudly Cebu-based enterprise leading the charge in organic and eco-friendly agricultural innovation in the Philippines.
With a firm foundation in research, advocacy, and innovation, Ahcil is transforming how Filipino farmers grow food. The company develops high-performance, nature-based solutions that boost crop productivity while caring for the planet. Its mission: to help build a resilient, competitive, and sustainable agricultural sector, powered by organic science.
At the core of Ahcil’s impact is its flagship product: Antica Biofungicide and Bactericide. The first Filipino-developed organic 3-in-1 formulation, Antica protects crops against fungi, bacteria, and viruses, without harming people or the environment. This breakthrough not only promotes healthier harvests but also showcases the power of Filipino-led scientific innovation.
Engr. Grecilda P. Sanchez, the product’s inventor and CEO of Ahcil Laboratories, was awarded the Alfredo M. Yao Most Promising Innovation Award for her creation. Antica is not just a safer alternative; it is an affordable, science-backed solution that strengthens the backbone of Philippine agriculture.
Beyond Antica, Ahcil Laboratories offers a growing line of certified organic agri-inputs tailored to the evolving needs of local farmers. Each product undergoes thorough research and field testing to ensure safety, efficacy, and cost-efficiency:
Aicon Insect Control – A plant-based spray that repels destructive insects and reduces crop damage without resorting to synthetic chemicals.
3SE Seaweed-Based Spreader, Sticker & Emulsifier – Forms a natural biofilm that improves nutrient absorption and prevents wash-off during heavy rains.
AhCil BioF (Biofertilizer) – Enriches the soil with beneficial microbes, promoting healthy plant growth and improved crop quality.
Staccatto Biofungicide – Targets Black Sigatoka in bananas, offering effective and organic disease control.
GASA Soil Conditioner – A probiotic soil enhancer that restores fertility, balances microbial life, and suppresses harmful pathogens.
Each solution is crafted to replace harmful agrochemicals with sustainable alternatives that support soil health, farmer safety, and long-term ecosystem resilience.
Ahcil Laboratories believes that organic farming can be both scalable and profitable. That is why the company works closely with the Philippine government, agricultural cooperatives, and academic and research institutions to expand the reach of organic technologies.
These partnerships help farmers access not only eco-friendly products but also training, technical support, and business opportunities. The result: stronger yields, reduced environmental impact, and new pathways for rural entrepreneurship, value chain development, and export growth.
As Ahcil continues to expand its impact, it invites like-minded partners to join its mission. Collaboration opportunities include: (1) Distribution and dealer partnerships; (2) Farmer outreach and training programs; (3) Joint research and innovation initiatives; and (4) Investment and funding partnerships
The company’s growth is rooted in a belief that science, sustainability, and social responsibility must work together to achieve meaningful change.
Ahcil Laboratories is more than just a producer of organic inputs; it is a movement toward regenerative agriculture that honors both people and the planet. With a heart for farmers, a mind for science, and a spirit of stewardship, Ahcil is helping shape a future where farming is not only more productive but also more ethical and ecologically sound.
Their message is simple yet profound: “Join us, plant the seeds, and await the blessings of God’s bountiful harvest.”
