As always since the creation of Kimberlit Agrociências, 31 years ago, Antônio Carlos de Gissi Junior, Executive & Commercial Director of Essere Group, the new national agro holding company that brings together Bionat Agro, Floema, Kimberlit Agrociências and Loyder, transparency and professionalism remain the driving forces behind the business. “The entire process will be based on values ​​that will be reflected in all businesses; with Corporate Governance increasingly present in the management and conduct of business and with our talents focused on generating value for our customers”, he details.

Among the expectations of the new holding are effective management, being sustainable, knowing your own numbers to ensure good decision-making, preparing and investing in professionals to take on new challenges, as national agriculture only grows, year after year, which requires agility in perceiving changes to capture opportunities, put them into practice and always know how to deal with changes in direction.

Floema will have its fleet expanded and capable of transporting refrigerated cargo, making it possible to deliver products with maximum quality. Loyder is assembling a new mixer that will have a manufacturing structure measuring 6 thousand m² and a production capacity of 60 tons per hour with Haya technology, designed to serve the São Paulo market and, according to strategic planning, by 2030 it will have this model replicated in 10 other industrial units across Brazil. Kimberlit Agrociências plans to invest in a new water treatment plant and improvements in the production process. “We want to make Bionat Agro the largest biological company in Brazil; endorse Loyder's participation in the national market for smart soil fertilizers and plant health; double Kimberlit Agrociências' commercial teams to consolidate its participation in the national market, placing it among the three largest specialized nutrition and biostimulants companies in the country”, observes Luciano.
