Fruit Logistica: Helping growers meeting food chain requirements

The Syngenta presentations will be focused on three major sections:

• Innovations in products and technology
  In addition to innovative new seed varieties and plant protection products Syngenta is looking into new solutions, including beneficial insects for integrated pest management, bio-pesticides and new application techniques.
• Sustainable production
  Optimizing the ecological footprint is a key element for a sustainable food production. Syngenta innovations and technology focus on the protection of biodiversity and the management of soil and water.
• Meeting value chain requirements
  Innovations in color, shape and flavor, in combination with enhanced shelf-life, will revitalise consumer’s attraction and enhance returns across the value chain.

Examples of Syngenta solutions from leading markets on show at Fruit Logistica include:

• Integrated Crop Management programs in Europe
  By combining genetics, beneficial insects and crop protection solutions growers can produce attractive, nutritious and tasty fruits and vegetables meeting the requirements of the food chain. 
• The “eMAT”
  Syngenta has developed a software tool which provides guidance to the grower on how to secure crop market access. Growers now can check if their crop protection program will meet quality requirements in key global markets.
• Productivity meets quality
  Tailored Syngenta crop management programmes can help growers deliver on both productivity and quality for retailers and the food chain.
