XII Gape Expedition takes students to the field in Southern Brazil
The academic activity takes place between January 12th and 25th and includes visits to farms, cooperatives, and companies in the sector.
Starting in January 2026, Biotrop will manage the BioWorks division, which specializes in biopesticides and biostimulants for horticulture. BioWorks is part of the BioFirst group—a global leader in biological technologies with a presence in more than 70 countries—and operates in the United States, Africa, and the European Union, with annual revenue of approximately US$22 million.
The incorporation of this division expands Biotrop's international reach, which has been intensifying investments in the North American and European markets. The company already has its own team in the United States, a research laboratory in Florida, and an expanding client portfolio, a movement that should be accelerated with the integration of BioWorks.
Second Jonas Hipólito (In the photo), the president of Biotrop, says the unification of operations reinforces the growth strategy of the BioFirst group and enhances the company's performance in the horticulture segment, based on complementary skills between the two structures.
As part of its growth plan, Biotrop also announced that, throughout 2026, it will transfer its administrative headquarters from Vinhedo (SP) to Santo Antônio de Posse (SP). The new structure will be installed at BioOracle, the company's center for the dissemination of biological and natural technologies, bringing together areas such as research, regulatory affairs, marketing, sales, and finance.
The change marks a new phase of operational integration and expansion for Biotrop, focusing on strengthening innovation, sustainability, and its global presence in the market for biological solutions for agriculture.
