After successfully launching an innovation powerhouse of Agricultural solutions at last year’s edition of the Agritech Expo, Syngenta Zambia has once again partnered with Agritech in 2023 as a platinum sponsor under the theme “Transforming growers’ productivity sustainably through regenerative agriculture, innovative solutions while partnering for impact. With new and improved solutions, Syngenta is making bold moves to transform farmer yields at scale and increase their profitability in a way that creates sustainable value and as a result, boost Zambia’s food security.
“We have invested in new innovations that will help farmers improve their yields through access to quality new products. As an organization, we are conscious that climate change, soil health and biodiversity has depleted. Agriculture is in a transformative era; meaning that what worked before is not working any more. Regenerative agriculture blends sustainable innovation with tradition by focusing on literal restoration of the soil health, the planet’s ecosystems and in return enhancing farms’ productivity and profitability”. Said Mr Given Mudenda, Syngenta Zambia Managing Director and Southern Africa Head, in a statement made available to the Zambian Business Times.
Syngenta Zambia’s focus at the Agritech Expo 2023 is to exhibit and demonstrate the latest agricultural technologies, products, and services as innovative solutions to the growing needs of farmers, while addressing the emerging unprecedented sustainable food demands.
In addition to offering solutions, Syngenta Zambia is excited to introduce game changing and sustainable innovations such as:
• FORTENZA®️ Duo technology – a seed treatment that provides protection against the notorious Fall Armyworm, resulting in yield increase.
• MIRAVIS Duo®️ an outstanding fungicide that secures food quality by helping to control toxins in fruits and cereal crops.
• TYMIRIUM®️ Technology is in the pipeline and soon to be unveiled in the country – this technology is a novel nematicide under development for both seed- and soil-applied uses.
Furthermore, Syngenta Zambia has confirmed their commitment to engaging in impactful partnerships with other key players in the agricultural sector. “We recognize that we cannot achieve these ambitions alone, and that farmers require holistic solutions, we continue to invest in innovative partnerships that address the multiple barriers faced by farmers.” Said Mr Mudenda. Syngenta Zambia has built strong collaborations with the government, the Ministry of Agriculture, regulators, Croplife, Zambia Seed Association, farmers including initiatives such as Agritech among others – in joining efforts to transform local agriculture and steer it towards progressive and sustainable methods.
Consumers are encouraged to visit the Syngenta Zambia office to explore the wide portfolio of products and services that Syngenta Zambia has to offer.
