General information

Short Summary
A French SME develops, produces and sells low environmental impact products towards local authorities, farmers, companies and private people through national distributors.
Looking for:
- partners in the distribution of its fungicide product.
- partners to demonstrate efficiency of the lecithin-based fungicide, in particular in the organic farming sector
- R&D partners or EU consortium to develop new pest-control (fungicide and repellant) compositions from the “low risk substances” list
Full Description
The SME develops, produces and sells low environmental impact products towards local authorities, farmers, companies and private people through national distributors.
1. Is looking for partners in the distribution of its fungicide product in EU-27 countries. Partners can be distribution companies selling to local authorities or organic farmers. The fungicide is based on soybean GMO-free lecithin. It degrades very quickly in the soil, leaving no residue. This fungicide is dedicated to organic agriculture, arboriculture, viticulture and private gardens.
2. Is already producing and selling a fungicide substance in the list of “low risk substances”, based on a soybean GMO-free Lecithin-based product. Also is looking for partners in the organic farming sector, including viticulture, or in an EU project consortium to demonstrate efficiency of its lecithin-based fungicide, in particular on mildew sensitive vegetal.
3. The french company is working on new pest-control compositions having repellant effect on small insects, caterpillars and slugs. Compositions should be in the “low risk substances” list. Also is looking to enter EU consortium / project to work on development of repellant compositions.
Advantages and Innovations
The products have very low environmental impact, in the list of “low risk substances”, and can be transported, stored and used without specific conditions.
Expected innovation lies in the optimized and demonstrated repellant efficiency on small insects, caterpillars and slugs.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
Knowledge on behavior of small insects, caterpillars and slugs to identify compositions and interactions.
Technical centers or farming centers to demonstrate pest control and repellant efficiency.
