And as Nissan described in the Long-term Business Plan "Atelier2050", by establishing the microbial control technology, we operationalize life science business and environment & energy business in addition to microbial agrochemicals, and those businesses contribute to solving diverse social issues.

"We expect this strategic partnership will establish an organic and robust system of biologicals business in Brazil by combining the strengths of each company. " said Yuji Sato, Head of Agricultural Chemicals Division at Nissan Chemical Corporation. "Brazil's biologicals business is experiencing dramatically rapid growth. We will consistently promote product development, manufacturing, and sales that meet the needs of agricultural producers.

"Brazilian agriculture is evolving rapidly. Integrated solutions that combine chemistry, biotechnology, nutrition, and sustainable practices boost Brazil as leading country on food production. The partnership between IHARA and Nissan reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative technologies and high-performance to the market. Our purpose is to support Brazilian farmers so they can produce more with greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability," said Clayton Veiga, Executive Director at IHARA."
