This Global Research and Innovation Biosolutions Centre was created in Brazil based on the substantial growth that the country\u2019s agricultural sector has seen in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Brazilian agricultural industry has seen significant investments from the public and private sectors in the last decade, making it an important and strategic market globally,\u201d says Rafael Leiria, Operations Director, at TradecorpBrazil. \u201cBrazil represents a new frontier in sustainable agriculture that we believe has the ability to contribute to the world\u2019s food supply in a quality, safe and environmentally friendly manner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Aligned with the objectives set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, the research at this new centre will focus on biological and sustainable solutions that can improve the efficiency of nutrient and water use, the quality of crops, and the quality and life of soil using microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria.<\/p>\n As it is located in Brazil, the centre will begin its research to address local challenges for farmers within the country, but the solutions will be applicable to other markets around the world.<\/p>\n \u201cWe work hand-in-hand with our local growers to create solutions that work for them, and we are using that knowledge to drive our research at this centre. However, we will be creating biosolutions that are applicable globally, in all of the markets where Rovensa Group operates. This will lead to more sustainable agriculture worldwide\u201d<\/em>, add Rafael Leiria.<\/p>\n The new centre will be led by a highly qualified multidisciplinary team under the management of Dr. Johana Rincones P\u00e9rez, allowing multiple projects to be developed simultaneously. In the laboratory, fermentation processes, based on fungi and bacteria, will be carried out with prototypes being produced and evaluated in a greenhouse or field. At the same time, the results of chemical bioanalysis and molecular biology of the microorganisms involved will be evaluated and tested in model plants.<\/p>\n As a company with sustainability at its core, Tradecorp, takes a holistic approach, promoting internal initiatives aimed at mitigating its impact on the environment, while also investing in innovation to encourage the adoption of sustainable products externally.<\/p>\n This announcement comes on the heels of the recent opening of the Joint Research Unit in Madrid, Spain in April 2022. Tradecorp International launched\u00a0Biological Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture.<\/em>\u00a0With these two new centers, Tradecorp shows its commitment to promoting a healthy and safe agriculture industry. It also shows its commitment to finding innovative solutions that can help solve some of the world\u2019s toughest challenges, including a growing global population, climate change, and environmental preservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tradecorp Brazil, a member of Rovensa Next \u2013 the new business unit of Rovensa Group \u2013 has announced an investment of over US$1 million in a state-of-the-art Global Research and Innovation Biosolutions Centre located in Hortol\u00e2ndia, S\u00e3o Paulo.
