Vittia Annual Report 2022

VITTIA 3-0-0- remains without a definitive outcome, there was an implication in the supply of basic fertilizers (with NPK), and this greatly affected the segment of soil conditioners and organominerals, generating strong price volatility and a mismatch between supply and demand in different periods of the year. Producers, in this circumstance, began to reduce the use of NPK, which opened the field for new alternatives and technologies, such as biological products, a sector in which we have grown significantly, in line with our aim of developing, producing, and offering technical assistance of use for the best offer of technologies in the field, with quality and in a sustainable way. In the biological products segment, we presented a representative growth of 36.7% in 2022, compared to the previous year. The agricultural inputs sector in general, in Brazil, is a market of around BRL 120 billion and the estimate is that by 2030 it will reach around BRL 250 billion. We are well positioned to take advantage of this scenario's potential. Brazil helps feed around one billion people in the world, and the country plays a key role in global food security. In this context, the rural producer has an essential function. It knows the challenges; it has been continuously modernizing and has been evolving together with agribusiness. There is also a very clear perception by all that it is necessary to preserve, protect and mitigate impacts on nature, promoting business sustainability. We don't need to deforest or damage the environment. We can promote the adoption of cultures in a sustainable and targeted way. For our part, we increasingly want to support producers in this journey. Although farmers are already familiar with biofertilizers and inoculants, biopesticides are still new to many. Therefore, it is necessary to build a history of product effectiveness in the main crops. With the increase in the experimentation of biological products, we increased our investment strategy in R&DI, strengthening the dissemination of our products, services, and solutions. We continue to believe in the huge potential of the biological products market, which should grow a lot in the coming years. It is a market that could reach 2026, for example, moving, globally, USD 18.5 billion. We seek to provide effective and efficient biological solutions for rural producers, aiming at increasing quality and productivity and contributing to sustainable food production. We want to be closer and closer to the producers. We have worked hard with development, in the agronomic and commercial areas, in order to offer our customers excellent products, services and solutions. There is a clear perception that new technologies and modern, quality inputs help to promote greater productivity and improve competitiveness, in addition to contributing to human health and the environment. We are on the right way. We have a robust Research, Development, and Innovation area, working on improving current technologies and developing new technologies and solutions, bringing modernity and sustainability to Annual Report 2022 07
