Koppert and UPL join forces to promote sustainable agriculture in Spain and Portugal
Both companies start a collaboration at a technical and commercial level to facilitate the access of producers to biological solutions
Koppert and UPL have signed a collaboration agreement with the common goal of promoting sustainable agriculture in Spain and Portugal. Both companies share the ambition to promote sustainability in food production and contribute, through this collaboration, to offer more and better biological solutions to farmers for crop management, environmental protection and consumers.
This commercial relationship is the continuity of the long-term global collaboration between both companies, already consolidated in Japan and India, and which is beginning to spread to other geographies, starting with Spain.
“With this agreement we intend to enhance the technical-commercial synergies of our teams, incorporate new tools into our portfolios and continue their joint development to offer our producers sustainable solutions aligned with the current demands and challenges of our agriculture. It is a collaboration that also fits perfectly into our OpenAg™ philosophy”, explains José Buendía, Business Director of UPL Iberia.
“We are convinced that UPL is our best ally to join forces with the common goal of making a more sustainable agriculture a reality. With this collaboration, the paths of UPL and Koppert come together”, says Boaz Oosthoek, General Manager of Koppert Spain and Portugal.
The start of this collaboration is fully in line with the values of Koppert, a company committed since its founding in 1967 to promoting sustainable farming practices to make agriculture healthier, safer and more productive. Koppert already offers an integrated system of knowledge and natural solutions with the added value of a holistic approach that takes into account the aerial part of the plant as well as the soil and the roots.
