Biocross do Brasil was present at the 8th ANDAV Congress, which took place on August 13th to 15th, addressing topics such as: Agribusiness Scenario and Trends in Brazil and in the World, Strategic Management and Distributor Management.

We would like to thank the entire organization of the event for their usual hospitality and professionalism. We would also like to thank our friends, customers and suppliers for visiting our booth!

This is the first year that Biocross do Brasil Fertilizantes participates as an exhibitor at Hortitec - the 23rd Technical Exhibition of Horticulture, Protected Cultivation and Intensive Farming. For the occasion, Biocross prepared new products from the Bio Line, consisting of foliar fertilizers, products developed with exclusive technology based on Ascophyllum nodosum  seaweed extract for Horticulture and all other agricultural crops.

“For Biocross, it is very important to participate in one of the main exhibitions in the Horticulture sector. Currently, Hortitec has international recognition in this segment and, for the promotion of our brand, technology, products, and for new businesses, our participation is essential”, considers Naylor Aguiar, Biocross R&D manager.

Hortitec is an exhibition that brings together horticulture and fruit growing farmers, professionals and technicians from Brazil and other countries. Everyone was able to check Biocross' products up close for the Horticulture segment.

Biocross received in its facilities a major partner from the State of Minas Gerais, the Protec reseller, and some client farmers. Everyone was able to closely check out Biocross’ technology and innovation on which their products are manufactured.

Biocross do Brasil was present at AgroBrasília - Feira Internacional dos Cerrados (International Cerrados Exhibition), one of the largest agribusiness exhibitions in Brazil, organized by Coopa-DF - Cooperativa Agropecuária da Região do Distrito Federal (Agricultural Cooperative of the Federal District Area), which has stood out as a source of innovations and doing business with the best companies in the sector and farmers in search of technology.

We received at our booth many customers (farmers, resellers), partners and the general public, who were very interested and amazed by the high technological performance of Biocross’ products, presented through some experiments that were carried out during the exhibition, and also through specific explanations from our consultants.

Even with the slowdown in the economy and the decrease in transactions registered at some exhibitions in the country, the expectation for this year is a great deal of business, according to Coopa (information that will still be sent by the organization of the event). This is mainly due to the high agricultural productivity of the Federal District and the region covered by the event, where rural entrepreneurs with capital use state-of-the-art technology in the largest area of pivot irrigation in Latin America.

Once again, we would like to thank everyone who was present with Biocross at AgroBrasília 2016.

During the second week of April, Biocross do Brasil was present, in Rio Verde (state of Goiás), at one of the main exhibitions of Rural Technology in the Midwest of Brazil: Tecnoshow.

Everyone who visited the Biocross stand was surprised by the live demonstrations of some products and their performances for foliar fertilization in agriculture, according to the explanations of the Biocross Consultants.

The TECNOSHOW COMIGO exhibition, organized by COMIGO – Cooperativa Agroindustrial dos Produtores Rurais do Sudoeste Goiano (Agroindustrial Cooperative of Rural Farmers of the Southwest of Goiás), has grown every year, both in the number of exhibitors (540) and product sales (1.3 billion Reais), as in the number of visitors (98,000).

Diversity is a hallmark of the event. Agricultural machinery and equipment, agricultural plots, animals from the most varied species, technical and economic lectures, environmental education (through the COMIGO Environmental Circuit and Rural Environmental Management Award) and machine dynamics are some of the attractions.

It is an extensive showcase of technologies for the rural customer, whether small, medium or large farmer, it is considered the Big Exhibition of Rural Technology in the Brazilian Midwest.
