R & D & I POLICY

ANASAC’s research, development and innovation (R&D&I) policy is a fundamental part of the company’s work, since it allows the delivery of valuable solutions adapted to the reality of local markets. In this way, it promotes sustainability, quality and competitiveness, seeking to respond to increasingly informed and demanding consumers, while reducing the economic risk involved in the introduction and/or adaptation of products. Within these policies, it is considered as a regular activity, the use of public instruments to finance, enhance and strengthen its research, development and innovation activities, which has materialized in recent years in both Chile and Peru given their volumes of R&D&I activities. Research, development and innovation activities are subject to quality control and/or management processes, in a way to ensure its value proposition in the market. The company has ventured also into innovating Anasac’s business model, as well as in its promotional and marketing activities.

INVESTMENT

We invest 3,0% of our annual sales in research, development and innovation activities for the development of better solutions for the future

PROMINENT PROJECTS

Some of our most relevant innovation and new business projects are present in a wide range of agricultural fields, which have generated new offerings for the Chilean market, contributing to the advancement of the agricultural sector.

Digitalization of Agriculture

Since 2019, ANASAC has been developing innovative projects that address the challenges of agriculture through the implementation of advanced digital technologies. A prominent example is Big Farm, which refines the concept of Digital Farming. This project solves the challenges of the agricultural sector through disruptive and innovative technological solutions, promoting a change of perspective in agriculture.

At ANASAC, we believe that the future of agriculture is based on the adoption of novel and disruptive technologies and concepts.

We proactively support high-impact decision making in farms, through the digital capture of reality and Big Data processing.

An expert system that stores, integrates and manages different sources of information about the orchard and technological inputs for timely and accurate decision making.

With the simplicity of Digital Agriculture within the reach of agribusiness, you can categorize all your crops with artificial intelligence for continuous monitoring to make timely decisions.

The best dairy herd management software worldwide that allows you to control your stables from anywhere, anytime, to make decisions based on secure, real-time data.

Minimal Waste Sustainable Management

Anasac’s Minimal Residue Sustainable Management focuses on the production of healthy, residue-free food with a low environmental impact approach to meet the growing demands of target markets. The list of pesticides losing their authorization for use, is forcing the search for sustainable alternatives world wide. Many more pesticides are in the process of evaluation, and laboratory certainty and new criteria are influencing these decisions. The exit of relevant phytosanitary tools requires rapid adaptation in current programs.

OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT WITH MINIMUM RESIDUES

The objective is to generate pest and disease management strategies that meet the quarantine and residue requirements of destination markets. A new production concept integrating conventional, organic and biological tools is proposed. Sustainable management and zero-residue fruit production seeks to obtain disease- and pest-free foodstuffs with low environmental impact and of course free of residue at harvest time.

IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT WITH MINIMUM RESIDUES
  • Use of chemical synthesis phytosanitary products of known or rapid dissipation,
  • Zero residue phytosanitary products such as biorationals and biopesticides.
  • Monitoring and release of biological control agents,
  • Cultural management such as biological corridors and flower bands,
  • Nutrition and biostimulation to manage stress and maintain balanced nutrition.

COLLABORATIONS AND ALLIANCES

We promote a culture of innovation by analyzing and evaluating disruptive projects for the development of new solutions.  Our model seeks both the early linkage from the genesis of the projects and the progressive achievement of results applicable to the industries in which we participate.

Alliances from the beginning

We establish cooperative alliances with companies boasting extensive experience, R&D centers, universities, and high-tech startups. Our aim is to develop new, sustainable, and innovative solutions rooted in robust scientific projects.

TEAM

We have a team of professionals dedicated to R&D activities. In addition, each business unit has personnel assigned to the search for new knowledge and technologies through participation in features fairs, congresses and seminars. This knowledge is then incorporated into ANASAC’s offerings through applied research and development. In all its businesses, ANASAC is distinguished by its model of strategic alliances with world’s leading suppliers.

Innovation as a Value

Innovation is one of the company’s values, so the building of an innovative culture in all areas of work is necessary. In this line, the structure of the R&D&I and New Businesses area was consolidated and increased, which has achieved greater links with the scientific world, mainly universities and research centers, as well as different national and foreign start-ups. In this way, we seek to obtain new technologies, in addition to supporting their subsequent implementation in the agricultural world, in an efficient way to respond to the demands of the industry.
