The industry

Why the crop protection sector calls for a specialized headhunter

The crop protection market combines strong competition, crop cycles, complex distribution channels and strict regulation. A regional manager needs to know the region's input retailers, cooperatives and large growers; an R&D leader needs to master trials and registration.

We map professionals at the leading companies in the sector, including multinationals, domestic and generic manufacturers, and in distribution channels, always with a confidential approach and without exposing your company.

What the crop protection market demands of leaders

  • Knowledge of channels: input retailers, cooperatives and direct sales
  • Command of the crop calendar and the region's crops
  • Regulation, registration and technical responsibility
  • Managing credit and barter with the channel
  • Technical positioning against generics and biologicals
