We also want to offer our growers an attractive, economically viable price and continue to exceed our customers' expectations for product quality and food safety. An integrated production system and a close relationship with our growers are things that have always been central to Ardo's strategy. Ardo has been encouraging the establishment of producer organizations for years and invests in mechanization, technology and R&D. Since the introduction of the ambitious MIMOSA program, however, our attention is increasingly focused on sustainable production methods. After many brainstorming sessions with our agronomists and after numerous field tests, often together with research centers, our agronomists now think within the MIMOSA framework. We are updating all our field protocols step by step to include our latest MIMOSA techniques. 63% of the total volume of all our crops currently has no residues (*) of crop protection products and we believe there is still a lot of room for improvement. By investing in research and development and expanding our knowledge, we will be able to further refine our crop protocols, which in turn will make it possible to produce with less water, less pesticides, less seed, etc. (*) No observed residues above 0.01 mg / kg.
