Today’s Challenge – Tomorrow’s Opportunity

The 9.8 Billion People Question?

United Nations Special Report , July 2017

Today’s Challenge – Tomorrow’s Opportunity

38%

Amount of planet earth’s land that currently farmed!

82%

Amount of planet earth’s land that would be needed if we were at 1961 production rates farmed!

Current Market

Terms and Definitions

• Biorational
• Biostimulant
• Biologicals
• Bioscience
• Bio_________________
• BIOPESTICIDE

Terms and Definitions

• Bioyield, BioGem, BioStim, Biosimulater, Bioact,

BioAG,

• Biogenesis, Biobest, Bioagro,

Biobug………………

Terms and Definitions

• FARM Bill may address the definition issue by

establishing a definition of a biostimulant!!

• That would be progress!!

Major Market Trends Driving BIO.

• Global move to sustainability in agriculture
• A call for less field residues of applied materials
• Demand for labor and harvest flexibility
• Environmental and Worker safety
• Growing demand for “organic” production

• Population growth
• Decreasing agricultural land
• Increasing input costs & limited availability
• Fertilizers
• Water
• Sustainability
• Climate change impacts & increased abiotic stress

Key Factors Driving Growth

• Better science that significantly reduces the variability in results at the field level.

– Biggest competitor is non use

• We must deliver and consistent acceptable ROI to the grower.

– Profitability/sustainability of the growers.

• Develop the science to better understand the how the technologies are

impacting and working inside the plant.

• Plant nutrition or advanced plant health must keep pace with plant genetics.

(cover the gap) (542.7 – 176.2 = 366.5 bushels per acre)

The “little” Challenge

Summary

• Biostimulants are growing in the impact on agricultural

production around the world, with a tremendous opportunity for continued growth.

• We need to continue to work toward consistent terms and

regulatory standards to support the industry.

• Industry must rise to the occasion to deliver better science

with greater profitability for the grows.

• Because we will soon have 9 Billion mouths to feed
