DuPont Crop Protection recently collaborated with DuPont business
Pioneer Hi-Bred,
DuPont Qualicon, and DuPont/Bunge joint venture Solae to present a "one-stop shop" at an international fruit and vegetable exhibition in Morocco. The "One DuPont" display featured offerings in crop protection, food diagnostics and innovative soy products.
The exhibition attracted approximately 44,000 visitors from 55 countries. The DuPont display provided strong support and synergy for key Moroccan distributors and reintroduced DuPont™ SmoothTrade™ Solutions, a program that aims to support food and crop growers and suppliers by offering consultation services on requirements for the export and import of goods treated with DuPont Crop Protection products.
Because Morocco exports 90 percent of its tomato production to European countries (predominantly to France), the DuPont team explained the safeguarding of trouble-free export and import of fruits and vegetables by choosing the right DuPont Crop Protection product and method of use. For example, DuPont™ Vydate® has been introduced as a highly effective and recommended product that easily meets the European import requirements on residue.
