Last weekend was super active for #TeamBioline as they hiked Mt.Longonot on Saturday, and ran a Marathon on Sunday. Psssst! Word on the streets is that some legends attended both events! 🫡 Beyond pursuing physical fitness, it was an exercise in determination and grit. Brings to mind the famous Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right.” 💪 #TeamFit #CultivatingBioAlliances #BiologicalPestControl #WeekendManenos

Through extensive research, we painstakingly develop products that leverage natural mechanisms such as predators, pheromones, and microbial agents to disrupt pest lifecycles. This ensures targeted, long-lasting results while significantly reducing dependency on broad-spectrum chemicals. We remain steadfast in supporting African flower farms in their mission to minimize chemical inputs and foster healthier ecosystems — not just for the industry but for the end consumers of our beautiful African flowers. Thank you, Wim for sharing your confidence in the efficacy of our products, as demonstrated in the photo being applied at AQ Roses PLC, Ethiopa.
𝘔𝘰𝘦𝘵 𝘫𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘻𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘫𝘭 𝘫𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘵? Afgelopen dagen staan de landelijke media opeens vol met verhalen over hoeveel gif er wel niet op bloemen zou zitten. Activistische organisaties als PAN zijn er met gestrekt been ingegaan met allerlei halve- en onwaarheden. En zeker Afrikaanse bloemen worden afgeschilderd als levensgevaarlijk. Kan je jezelf hier tegen verdedigen? Wij blijven altijd het positieve verhaal vertellen over onze bloemen. Kan je deze activistische personen overtuigen dat het allemaal enorm meevalt in de praktijk? Nee, waarschijnlijk gaat dat nooit lukken. Maar met deze grote beschuldigingen moeten we wel tegengas geven. Een aantal feiten op een rij: ✔ Wij produceren onze bloemen met zo min mogelijk chemische middelen. Veel plagen en ziektes kunnen wij al grotendeels met biologische en natuurlijke producten onder controle houden. ✔ Sinds de start van ons bedrijf 17 jaar geleden hebben wij het gebruik van chemische bestrijdingsmiddelen met 75% kunnen verminderen. En de middelen die wij tegenwoordig gebruiken zijn moderne middelen die zeer specifiek werken, snel afbreken en geen gevaar vormen voor mens en milieu. Elk jaar maken we weer nieuwe stappen. ✔ In de artikelen van PAN en Greenpeace wordt gesproken over het feit dat er in Ethiopië vrijwel geen middelen verboden zijn. Dat betekent niet dat wij dan dit soort middelen maar allemaal spuiten. Wij voldoen keurig aan de internationale spelregels rondom gebruik van chemie. ✔ Wij staan onder voortdurende controle van certificerende instellingen. Certificeringen als Fairtrade en MPS hebben duidelijke spelregels en zwarte lijsten op het gebied van chemische middelen. Een klein voorbeeld: De werkzame stoffen van anti-vlooien banden voor honden en katten mogen wij niet gebruiken in onze kassen ✔ Met meerdere klanten hebben wij specifieke spelregels afgesproken op het gebied van chemie. Deze klanten testen onze bloemen regelmatig, en als wij niet voldoen aan deze eisen mogen wij niet meer leveren. Er is zelfs een klant die onze bloemen beoordeeld alsof het groenten zijn: Een kind van 2 jaar moet 100 gram rozen kunnen opeten zonder gevaar voor de gezondheid. ✔ Wij testen onze bloemen ook regelmatig zelf, waardoor we steeds meer kennis opbouwen hoe lang middelen op het blad meetbaar blijven. Het aantal residuen op het blad zegt vrij weinig over hoe gevaarlijk chemische residuen op het blad zouden zijn. De meetnauwkeurigheid is tegenwoordig extreem groot en de dosis bepaalt de giftigheid. Dus als je ons vraagt of onze bloemen onveilig zijn? Ik ben 100% overtuigd dat onze bloemen geen enkel gevaar vormen voor de gezondheid van onze medewerkers, onze klanten en de consument. Natuurlijk zijn bloemen niet geschikt voor consumptie. En ook is het verstandig om je handen even te wassen, maar dat doe je ook als je in de tuin bloemen hebt geplukt.

Wake up and smell the roses…🌹 Kenya’s 2nd largest export might be booming, but under the surface, all is not well. False Codling Moth (FCM) incidence has been on the rise, and as a result inspection quota, doubled from 5% in 2019, and then again in 2024. We’re now at 25%. This means higher costs of doing business and an increased risk of having your consignment rejected and destroyed. 🚨 Let’s take action before it’s too late! Join our FREE webinar this Friday, 4th October 2024, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM GMT+3. to protect your farm and secure your exports. 🌱 Click on the link to register now: https://lnkd.in/gBA662ZV #FCMAlert #FlowerExports #SaveKenyanRoses #AgricultureKenya

🚨 FCM Webinar Alert! 🚨 The False Codling Moth (FCM) is a quarantined pest in major export markets, that is often difficult to detect because it is an internal feeder. Unfortunately, interception automatically leads to rejection at the port.🚫 It is estimated that Kenyan farmers lose Kes. 5.5 billion every year, since FCM threatens vital export crops like roses, avocados, beans, citrus, grapes, and more. Join our FREE webinar on 4th October 2024, featuring experts and regulators, to learn how to protect your farm, avoid costly rejections, and keep your produce export-ready! 🌱 📅 Save the date & register today: https://lnkd.in/gBA662ZV
