According to Embrapa Informática Agropecuária (Embrapa Agriculture and Livestock Farming IT), in the last 10 years in Brazil, the use of cell phones and smartphones grew 1,790% in the field. In addition, the ANDAV Congress Panel discussed the challenges for distributors to remain competitive and relevant, concluding that Brazilian agricultural input distributors need to find mechanisms to introduce e-commerce into their commercial strategies.

In this lecture, he showed the importance of the algae “Ascophyllum nodosum” as a facilitating agent in the translocation of nutrientes by the plant. He presented some research results carried out at UFPR, proving the efficiency and importance of using this natural extract in agriculture.
Concluding the cycle of lectures, in the afternoon, there was a line of debates on the topics addressed during the day.
Technology and innovation, applied to the fruit and vegetable sector, were the watchwords of this edition, which took place in the city of Holambra (state of Sao Paulo), from June 21st to 23rd, at Parque da Expoflora.

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.

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.
