Floridienne FIRST LOOK - Creating a world leader in IPM and pollination

Floridienne announced that its subsidiary Biobest , a world leader in pollination and integrated pest management (IPM), will acquire Brazilian Biotrop from Aqua Capital and GIC investment funds. This large-scale transaction gives Biobest a significant position in South America and allows it to expand its range of biological solutions, which will now include biocontrol (beneficial insects and biopesticides), inoculants, biostimulants and pollination for both greenhouse crops, Biobest's traditional activity, and open-field crops.

It will strengthen Biobest's position as a world leader in the field of IPM and pollination, which has a bright future. It is in line with Floridienne's strategy of creating an industrial player in Belgium that is part of the transition to a sustainable economy. No impact on our Floridienne's NAV (€ 983.8) as we were already using the applied Biobest's pe-money valuation of € 1.1bn. Accumulate and € 900 TP maintained.
