Alicorp's Agricultural Solutions area, a leading company in mass consumption and milling in Bolivia and manufacturer of the emblematic FINO oil, was present at Exposoya 2023 with a demonstration plot where it shared its value proposition for farmers, offering a wide portfolio of products, innovative inputs and services; especially from the Eastern Zone of the department of Santa Cruz.
The plot was distributed in five stations: Seed treatment; Soybean varieties, fertilization proposals and soil diagnosis; Alipack 0 weeds; Alipack Top fungicides; Specialties and other crops, as well as a social stand.
In the fifth station of the plot, the foliar fertilization process was presented, a practice that supplies nutrients to the plants through their foliage, and that represents an important innovation to improve the yield of mechanized peanuts and early beans, in addition to exploring possible business intentions with these grains
"Our demonstration plot was designed as a 360 space for farmers, in which they could learn about, visit and experience the agricultural solutions that Alicorp offers them as part of our commitment to constant innovation in the field," said Diego Moreno, director of Alicorp Bolivia milling.
The company supports the development of farmers and the improvement of their productivity through the transfer of knowledge and transversal innovation; offering them comprehensive and close solutions at the same time throughout the cycle of their crops. This action is aligned with Alicorp's purpose of Feeding a better tomorrow
"Alicorp's participation in Exposoya allows us to continue providing better solutions for farmers and generating greater value for producers, in addition to reinforcing our commitment to the entire production chain, who represent the center of our decisions," concluded Moreno.
