‘A group of experts in soft fruit within reach’
Koppert Biological Systems produces sustainable solutions for the cultivation of food and ornamental crops. Together with growers and in cooperation with nature, we are committed to making agriculture and horticulture healthier, safer, more productive and more resilient. We achieve this by using natural enemies to fight pests, bumblebees for natural pollination and bio stimulants to strengthen crops, both above and below the ground. Restoring and protecting vital ecosystems in a natural way is the basis for healthy crops and a balanced environment. Add to this our high-quality know-how and advisory services, and you will understand why an increasing number of growers consider us to be a partner with whom they can realise their ambitions.
Innovation partner Delphy ISFC
An important basis for providing clients with good advice is ensuring that knowledge is continuously developed. Especially in soft fruit, Koppert likes to work with a partner who has a lot of knowledge and who can carry out independent research. By becoming an innovation partner of Delphy ISFC, Koppert has a good location available in the soft fruit region where the progress and results of the research can be shown to distributors and growers. Meetings can also be organised here. An important added value of the cooperation is that Koppert’s strategies can be tested in practice. The involvement in Delphy ISFC means that Koppert has a group of soft fruit experts within reach. New developments in the market, in strategy or of a technical nature can be shared at an early stage.
