Expodireto Special: Fair records 2,65 billion in sales
The fair's audience totaled 256 visitors according to the organizers
Perfect Flight, a startup managing the aerial application of agricultural pesticides, will present the functionalities and potential of the application, which achieves more than 90% uniformity in spraying, to the delegation from the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture. Deputy Minister Marjolijn Sonnema and five Dutch agricultural advisors based in the Americas will participate in the meeting, which takes place on Friday, March 13, on a soybean farm in Goiás.
The Netherlands is the largest importer of Brazilian soy in Europe, according to the country's embassy in Brazil. Also according to these representatives, there is a special care and interest in sustainability, hence the initiative to learn about national practices in the area and how the Perfect Flight system contributes to reducing the impacts of the use of agrochemicals on the environment.
Leonardo Luvezuti, operations manager at Perfect Flight, explains that “by monitoring the application of pesticides, the flight plan and all the tools that the startup offers, it is possible to spray more uniformly and accurately, ensuring the rational use of product and preservation of the surrounding area. We want to demonstrate the results we achieved with this monitoring to the Dutch team.”
The meeting takes place on a property that exports soy to the Netherlands and which recently contracted the spraying management service. “We are excited to showcase our technology and solution. In addition to being an opportunity to demonstrate how Brazilian companies and farmers are concerned and contracting services that add sustainability and confidence to products. What we are doing today on many properties, including soybean properties, is something unprecedented in world agriculture, since this management does not yet happen even in countries like the United States, for example, which uses aerial aviation a lot for spraying” , says Leonardo.
