Summary

International cooperation with Brazil in the field of bio-input and in particular biological pest and diseases control has a tremendous potential to benefit the Dutch agricultural and horticultural sector and Dutch companies. The main objective of this seed money project is to build a strong Dutch-Brazilian consortium of institutes, universities and companies enabling to prepare a follow-up PPP-project where the partners can work together to develop new innovations in bio-input. The aim is to identify partners with complementary expertise so that both the Dutch and Brazilian partners benefit from this collaboration. In addition, this collaboration could open up new opportunities for Dutch companies to test their products under Brazilian field conditions and to start or increase their sales in Brazil.
