We represent Arysta LifeScience, Bayer CropScience, BASF, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont, FMC Corporation, Monsanto, Syngenta and Sumitomo Chemical. Companies committed to the productivity and sustainability of agriculture through the supply of better seeds, biotechnology and crop protection products.

CropLife Latin America communicates the contributions in favor of agriculture made by the industry it represents, watches over science-based regulatory systems, for the adequate protection of intellectual property, and promotes good agricultural practices, including proper final disposal of agrochemical containers.

The farmer is a priority How much risk does a farmer take, how much is at stake with each crop, how important is his work at every meal we eat, what is his role into the everyday lives of cities, what challenges do they have today, how much is actually acknowledged of the work and effort of farmers in Latin America?

These were some questions that arose in CropLife Latin America’s VI International Forum held in Mexico in April 2013; questions that became considerations that ended up influencing the navigation chart for managing 2013.

Farmers in Latin America this year had to battle with a range of pests that dramatically affected crops. Coffee rust in Central America, Mexico and South America affected over 400 thousand hectares. In El Salvador official data report that 112,000 hectares of coffee plantations were affected.

Yellow Dragon disease (HLB) impacted citrus crops also in Central America and Mexico. In Brazil, the Helicoverpa worm attacked cotton, soybean and vegetable crops with a voracious appetite destroying them and causing loses of over US$ 2 billion. Losses from Asian rust which affects soybeans, a major crop produced in Latin America increased 78% and were worth US$ 2 billion. This scenario highlights the need to continue developing new

technologies and practices that enable farmers to protect their crops.

Farmers this year also lived with more intensity the adverse climate changes. Climatic instability caused moderate impact on the production of soybeans and corn. At the beginning of 2013 in Argentina the corn crop was hit harder than soybeans by lack of rain. This drought also caused almost complete losses in wheat crops and at a high percentage in sunflower, with declines in production and quality. In Brazil, the rain slowed down the soybean harvest which had losses because it could not be harvested in time, especially in Mato Grosso due to a higher incidence of fungus and diseases.

At CropLife Latin America we finished the year convinced that we must continue to work with greater determination to highlight the role of farmers in society. The farmer should be the center of attention, not only of public policies that contribute to agricultural development and prosperity on the farm, but also as a point of reference to citizens of urban areas, that seem increasingly distant from the work, risks, challenges, frustrations and satisfactions of farmers.

With the farmer as the main objective, we moved forward in the development of our programs CampoLimpioSM and CuidAgroR which

José Perdomo Executive President CropLife Latin America

Roberto Giesemann Chairman CropLife Latin America

increasingly require the active participation of not only farmers, but also distributors, authorities and civil society interested in promoting good agricultural practices and responsible management of innovative technologies.

With this message we participate in meetings with farmers, agronomists, authorities, media, and universities in several countries. Also with CuidAgro, the training program, and CampoLimpio, the program for proper disposal of containers, we reach 18 countries in the region.

In Mexico we organized the first version of the Journalism Contest “Informing and Educating the Farmer”, again with the farmer as a direct beneficiary of information to help him be more competitive and sustainable.

It was an award for communications media having the grower as a protagonist in their business project.

In the same direction, to ensure greater safety throughout the food production chain, we worked decisively in the regulatory processes, which are dynamic. The open and direct dialogue with authorities, farmers and experts in the field has kept viable regulatory frameworks such as the Andean Standard or Decision 436 which represents a suitable framework for the sector.

Finally, we must emphasize that as an international trade organization which brings together 23 associations in 18 countries, we work intensively in the institutional strengthening of the associations. We have big challenges ahead; we called on the Boards of the National Associations to refresh, innovate and venture into initiatives in line with the challenges we face today accompanying and supporting farmers. We celebrate the maturity process of some of the associations that are reflected in greater independence and efficiency. As there will always be room for improvement, we invite associations to renew their commitment keeping in mind farmers as the priority.

We invite you to read this brief report with processes and achievements of 2013, but not before wishing again to Carlos Buzio good wind and good sea in his projects and the recognition for his leadership and commitment in his five year presidency with CropLife Latin America.

Harnessing the agrifood potential of Latin America requires the synergy between public policies and the use of technology, a repositioning of agriculture in the collective imagination, a partnership between academia, industry and government, and especially, science and knowledge. These were some of

the ideas raised in the VI International Forum CropLife Latin America, Technology and Latin American Agrifood Potential to 2050. The speakers and panelists examined the availability of technologies for agriculture in the region, the yields and productivity, and the access to knowledge by large and small scale growers.

Changes in the classification of rigid plastic in the Southern Cone: In 2013 Paraguay and Uruguay joined the group of countries that legally consider the containers with “triple rinse” as “non-hazardous waste”. This situation opens the possibility for the recycling of the plastic into end products allowed by the industry.

Therefore, plastic is given a second chance to be useful again rather than to pollute the environment.

Javier Fernández Legal Advisor and Regulatory Affairs Director

2 publications were made available ​​ to the scientific community. The Spanish translation of the work Pesticides and the Environment by Solomon & Stephenson, and the book Phytosanitary Pesticide Registration, technical foundations written by Carlos M. Hidalgo.

6 workshops in the region with global experts on the science in the evaluation of pesticides.

We made progress in communicating Science, highlight the value of innovation to Latin American agriculture and position scientific conceptions for the evaluation of pesticides”

3 workshops to understand how Intellectual Property works in favor of innovation for agriculture. One of them in Mexico where authorities participated in a workshop on equivalence given by Dr. John Dawson, an expert of CropLife International’s specifications group. The value of intellectual property was discussed in an expeditious registration scheme by applying the equivalence.

Regulations and intellectual Leopoldo Cid Executive Director of the Southern Cone

In Chile a new registration regulation included the issue of equivalence and provides a legal framework that recognizes the protection of Confidential Information, with legal sanctions for those who would make a dishonest disclosure of the same.

Paraguay advanced with the processing of a law to protect test data.

2013 was a year of strategic advances on regulatory issues”.

In Argentina, 200 meters for aerial and 100 meters for ground applications, are the distances that the Ministry of Agriculture recommends as buffers zones in suburban applications. This recommendation puts rationality to the values that ​​ were being proposed and imposed by the municipalities in which distances of up to 1,500 meters were considered.

Martín Zuñiga Executive Director Central America and Caribbean

The dialogue and technical and scientific argumentation were the common denominator for management in Central America in 2013. Restrictive measures without technical basis and slowness in the registration of new products, although they are more efficient and environmentally friendly, led the regional agenda.

A new pesticide law in Guatemala has enabled clearer and more agile rules in the registration process, and even major advances in the registration by equivalence, using complete reference profiles supplied by the research and development companies.

2013 was busy working with farmers unions to find common solutions to the main problems of the sector”.

In El Salvador the joint effort of farmers, their associations and the industry to defend the tools that agriculture demands, succeeded in maintaining on the market key products to combat pests such as coffee rust.

Costa Rica logs almost 9 years without having proper registration of new products; the industry is working with authorities so that they can overcome the administrative barriers that limit access to modern products for the market.

property Richard Franklin Executive Director Andean Region

The Andean Decision 436, its amendments and the resolution 630 were maintained. Peru’s government has insisted since June 2013 in suspending that rule, a situation that would lead to the deharmonization of the common system of registration and control of the Andean Community of Nations (CAN).

Three workshops were held in Peru on regulations to protect agricultural workers with international experts, including Dr. Debra Edwards, former pesticides program director of the EPA.

CropLife Latin America defended and strengthened the registration and control system of chemical pesticides for agricultural use”.

The permits for the Farmer Importer User, AIU scheme in Peru were suspended by court order, this because it threatened the health and the environment. An argument that helped authorities in Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia not to implemented this instrument.
