The deal will see Vivek distribute Pharm 2 Farm's's anti-viral mask in India under the Pro-Larva brand name.

RMS said part of the proceeds from the order will be invested by Pharm 2 Farm into a marketing campaign in India to support Vivek and build demand for the mask, which is hoped will lead to increasing repeat orders.
Antony Legge, Executive Chairman of RMS, said: “India represents a significant opportunity for our Pro Larva anti-viral mask and we are pleased to be partnering with Stag Global.
“Whilst this agreement represents an initial modest number of masks, the Company is in discussions with a number of Indian businesses regarding distribution agreements for the Pro-Lava mask and hopes to be announcing further positive news flow in the near term. This deal will help to strengthen P2F's position as a provider of anti-viral masks within the global healthcare market.”
