Technical excellence triggers innovation and
drives growth
• Sustaining technical excellence is core to Belchim efforts to build an
innovative and future-proof portfolio of products with a strong emphasis
on biologicals.
• By developing a deep technical understanding of targeted crops and
identifying the real farmer “pain points”, while gaining insights on key
value chain demands and trends, Belchim is well positioned not only to
address today’s problems but also to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
• That "Boots on the ground and eyes on the horizon" attitude enables
Belchim Crop Managers to lead the development of effective and
competitive solutions to new challenges (resulting for instance from
active ingredient withdrawals in the European Union) across its expanding
geographic scope.
• In this section, you will discover vivid examples of how the "Belchim way"
makes a real difference across its spectrum of targeted crops and
countries.
• Biologicals is the fastest growing segment in the Crop Protection industry
as the biorational products play an increasingly important role in the
development of sustainable plant protection solutions and programmes,
addressing farmers’ needs while meeting their key stakeholders’ demands.
Certis Europe, a sister company to Belchim since the Mitsui group became
its majority shareholder in April 2021, has been at the forefront of the
development of the Biorational segment in Europe. An insightful article in
this section unveils some of the reasons behind its success and highlights
its strong technical and farmer-centric approach, which it shares with
Belchim.
• If we also take into account the complementarity of their portfolios, it
becomes clear that the Mitsui family umbrella will soon bring a number
of business collaboration opportunities to Belchim and Certis Europe that
will unlock tangible value for the farming sector and their downstream
customers and stakeholders.
