Crop Care, the Brazilian holding company controlled by Lavoro Limited, has just delegated the management of its Research and Development area to Paulo Alvares.

Alvares has worked for major agribusiness companies such as FMC Química, Ourofino, Adama Brasil, Sandoz do Brasil and Mérieux NutriSciences Brasil.
“I would like to thank Crop Care for this professional opportunity. The Research and Development area is the heart of our holding company, consolidated as one of the largest players in the Brazilian market for biological inputs, adjuvants and specialties. We believe that the future of agriculture lies in the development of safe technologies that respect the environmental agenda, respect legislation and, above all, give farmers access to increasingly sustainable and profitable solutions for their crops,” Alvares said.
