Better food supply for Asia

Tasked with feeding growing populations worldwide, today's Asian farmers recognise the importance of protecting crops against pests, weeds and diseases. Crop protection products, commonly known as pesticides, help farmers achieve the goal of supplying year-round, safe and abundant food for consumers.

CropLife Asia promotes science-based regulatory frameworks and sound policies to ensure that regional economies, participants in Asian farming and the plant industry altogether benefit from innovative technologies in agriculture, such as crop protection.
