Advancing the future of pollination: Introducing Natupol Terra

We are proud to share progress on an exciting new development in sustainable pollination, Natupol Terra, our first hive concept designed to eliminate all plastic components. While still in the development phase, Natupol Terra marks an important milestone in our ongoing journey toward reducing waste and advancing sustainability in agriculture.

As the agricultural sector faces increasing environmental and regulatory demands, growers are under pressure to balance productivity, compliance, and sustainability. Natupol Terra responds to these challenges with a hive engineered to deliver the same high-quality pollination Koppert is known for, now with a dramatically smaller environmental footprint. 

Developed in collaboration with Smurfit Kappa, a leader in sustainable packaging, Natupol Terra is built to reduce waste at its source. By completely removing plastic components, this innovative design supports growers who are ready to take the next step toward circular and responsible production systems. 

Designed for sustainability-minded growers 

Natupol Terra is initially being tested with blueberry and raspberry growers who are already investing in sustainable practices. These early adopters recognize the value of reducing plastic waste while maintaining optimal pollination performance. 

Recent field trials in blueberry and raspberry crops have confirmed that Natupol Terra delivers the same pollination performance as our existing hives, while significantly improving its sustainability profile. Further trials and development will continue to ensure the solution meets the practical needs of growers across different regions and conditions.

“With Natupol Terra, we’re not just addressing today’s challenges, we’re helping growers prepare for the future,” says Roland Kreskoci, General Manager of KSK. “As regulations tighten, growers need solutions that combine efficiency with environmental responsibility. Natupol Terra makes that possible.”

The technology behind Natupol Terra is patented in the EU, and ongoing work focuses on refining its market introduction. Our teams are collaborating with growers and partners to understand local requirements and ensure a smooth transition to more sustainable pollination solutions.

Natupol Terra represents more than product innovation, it’s a clear step toward a future where sustainability, compliance, and value creation go hand in hand.
