We also want to offer our growers an attractive, economically viable price and consistently exceed our customers' expectations in terms of product quality and food safety. An integrated production system and a close relationship with our growers have always been central to Ardo's strategy. Ardo has for many years encouraged the creation of producer organizations and invests in mechanization, technology and R&D. Since the introduction of the ambitious MIMOSA programme, 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. 76% of the total volume of all our crops currently has no residues(*) from crop protection products , and we are convinced that 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 allow production with less water, less pesticides, less seeds, etc. (*) No residues observed above 0.01 mg/kg.
