A CropLife Brasil (CLB) is an association that brings together experts, institutions and companies involved in the research and development of technologies in four areas essential for agricultural production sustainable: germplasm (seedlings and seeds), biotechnology, pesticides chemicals and biological products. Created in 2019, CLB results from the union of entities that previously represented each of these sectors individually. Now, CLB brings together, on a single platform, the discussions on innovation in agriculture.

In agreement with the president of Albaugh Brasil, Cesar Rojas, entry into the membership of the CLB arises from the relevant role played by the entity with a view to the growth of Brazilian agribusiness. “A Albaugh now becomes a partner and signatory of efforts recognized by industry to increase food supply, generate new technologies and help farmers face the main challenges of production."

"A CLB's sectorial activity also takes place in the direction of sustainability and of renewable energies. The entity supports programs with which Albaugh Brasil identifies with and wants to see advance, such as the RenovaBio (National Biofuel Policy), today the largest decarbonization of the world”, continues Rojas. RenovaBio is anchored in encouraging production and increasing the share of biofuels in country's energy matrix.

According to Albaugh's director of marketing and product development, José Geraldo Martins dos Santos, the company is also identified with CLB in order to seek partnerships with different segments of society, promote education for the adoption and correct use of technologies in the field and interact with strategic audiences linked to agribusiness, such as Government bodies and agricultural research.
