Syngenta presents the ecological brand of produce commodities grown in Ukraine

Ukrainian department of Syngenta company, one of world leaders of input supplies to the agricultural producers, has launched the ecological brand "Better products - better life" in Ukraine. The producers are allowed to use this brand if they apply the ecologically safe technology based on the plant protection assets by Syngenta.

The implementation of this project became possible due to the fact that Syngenta has an international patent trade mark of Integrated Pest Management type. According to its climatic conditions Ukraine is able to produce ecologically safe produce and export it to the EU countries. Ukraine occupies the 16th place in the rating of the countries - producers of such commodities. Also, around 250,000 ha of croplands have been certified for ecologically safe production in the country.

Thanks to the ecological brand Syngenta promotes the production of fruits and vegetables with utilization of the ecologically safe plant protection assets and technologies. This protection system has been applied in some farms and specialized companies of Ukraine; the results were good. Syngenta recommends using slight toxic plant protection assets with the short period of persistency and safety interval. As a result, an accurate scheme of the project "Producer - Syngenta - State Laboratory of agricultural commodities quality - Supermarket" has been established.

All produce commodities in the supermarkets of Ukraine have the certificate of the tentative analysis for pesticide residuals. The produce branded by "Better products - better life" is additionally certified as for soil, irrigation water composition at the location of its production; and, the produce is analyzed for the residuals of fertilizers and plant protection assets.
