Koppert Biological Systems has signed an agreement with Agritek – its new distribution partner in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Agritek specializes in smart horticultural and agricultural solutions and is based in Abu Dhabi.

The agreement consolidates a successful trial period between Koppert and Agritek. The UAE government encourages sustainable farming practices, in which food safety and food security are key. Koppert stated its biological solutions and know-how will help bring the latest innovations for natural pollination, soil and seed treatment and biocontrol for pests and diseases to growers in the region.

“It is important that the rapid growth in horticulture that is taking place in the UAE is supported by a top-level partnership,” said Henri Oosthoek, Koppert CEO. “Koppert’s biological solutions and consultancy will improve crop health and yields for growers in the UAE and help the region to achieve its social development goals.”
