Partnership with AGCO should expand Biojet's market

Biojet, an agricultural equipment manufacturer that is part of the Cogny biological ecosystem, has just closed a partnership with AGCO for the homologation of one of the main products in its portfolio: the BJ 1000L furrow sprayer. The equipment has been approved for operation mounted on the Momentum planter, a model that became a benchmark by inaugurating the market for self-transportable planters in Brazil. With the technical validation, more than 400 AGCO dealerships in Brazil will be able to recommend Biojet's solution to farmers throughout the country.

The manufacturer's engineering certification attests to the sprayer's mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic compatibility, reducing adaptation risks and increasing operational safety for those seeking greater efficiency in applying inputs during planting. The partnership should open a new sales expansion front for Biojet at a time of increasing use of biological products in the field, pressure on fertilizer prices, and the prospect of agricultural fleet renewal in the coming years. The partnership will be formalized during Agrishow 2026 in Ribeirão Preto (SP).

According to Jair A. Swarowsky (pictured), Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Cogny, the move is strategic for Biojet because it occurs within the context of structural change in Brazilian agribusiness, marked by international geopolitical tensions that have been impacting the price of imported solutions for the field, such as fertilizers. “Exposure to international volatility has led producers to seek more sustainable alternatives and solutions. In this environment, bio-inputs are gaining ground as a management alternative to fertilizers, creating new demand for application efficiency.”

Bio-inputs and fleet renewal: drivers of growth.

Data from CropLife Brasil, presented in the report "Panorama of Bioinputs in Brazil 2025," based on the 2024/25 crop season, shows that the country has already surpassed 150 million hectares treated with biological solutions, in a market estimated at R$ 4,35 billion per year. Technical analyses by Embrapa indicate ample room for expansion of biologicals, especially in extensive crops such as soybeans, corn, and cotton. In the planting furrow, directly in the sowing line, microorganisms find more favorable conditions to act from the beginning of the cycle, increasing agronomic efficiency.

Another relevant factor is the prospect of renewing the agricultural fleet in the coming years. A survey by Kynetec, based on the studies "Brazil Farm Machinery Market – Planters & Seeders Insights 2024", estimates that Brazil has between 200 and 300 planters in operation, with a significant portion of these machines being more than a decade old.

“The gradual replacement of this fleet tends to favor more technologically advanced machines compatible with solutions that offer greater operational efficiency, while simultaneously increasing the demand for complementary equipment capable of enhancing the performance of planters. In this scenario, recommendations through dealerships gain relevance as a channel for technological dissemination,” says Bruno Copetti de Barros, operations director at Biojet.

Developed from over a decade of experience in the microbiological market of companies within the Cogny ecosystem – such as Simbiose, Bioma, and Briagro – Biojet's solution was designed to ensure the correct application of these inputs in planters, overcoming a historical gap in the sector marked by adapted equipment. "There was a recurring problem of incompatibility that compromised both machine performance and application efficiency. The goal was to develop a technically integrated solution," says the executive.

In addition to the validated solution for the Momentum planter, Biojet's portfolio includes technologies with different capabilities, geared towards distinct operating profiles. The partnership with AGCO paves the way for the gradual expansion of these solutions within the manufacturer's dealer network, consolidating the company's position in an expanding market.
