Nufarm joins McCain Foods and JD Cooling
NUFARM has just been announced as a new sponsor for the British Potato Industry Awards, joining existing sponsors McCain Foods and JD Cooling.
A provider of agronomy solutions and herbicides, Nufarm will be well known to many growers. Nufarm is a global crop protection and seed technology company that has been helping growers fight disease, weeds and pests for more than 100 years.
The company has a strong focus on sustainability so will particularly be looking forward to seeing what new innovations and environmental entries are submitted for the awards.
“Accelerating agricultural innovation is essential to sustainably meeting the nutrition and energy needs of a growing population and rapidly changing economies. So too is utilising technology that has vastly improved agricultural productivity in recent decades that has helped feed billions, such as crop protection products,” a company spokesman announced.
The company has just released impressive half-year profit figures, having seen a 7% increase in net profit overall.
Nufarm Managing Director and CEO, Greg Hunt, said: “Nufarm has a clear strategy for growth which is based on operational excellence and increasing the proportion of our business contributed by higher margin products driven by our innovations in seeds and crop protection. We are seeing the benefits of our strategy in 1H23. Industry fundamentals remain strong, with agriculture ‘mega trends’ supporting the growth of crop protection, seeds and sustainable agricultural technologies.”
Further sponsorship opportunities are available and if you require more information about these, Hayley Comey will be happy to discuss.
