CropSolutions - Pesquisa, Tecnologia e Inovação

What CropSolutions - Pesquisa, Tecnologia e Inovação does

CropSolutions – Pesquisa, Tecnologia e Inovação Agropecuária Ltda is a privately held Brazilian agricultural research and consulting firm founded on May 7, 2014, and headquartered in São Gabriel do Oeste, Mato Grosso do Sul. The company operates as a MAPA-accredited contract research organization offering field-trial, efficacy, phytotoxicity, and agronomic-viability studies required for agrochemical registration, alongside technical consulting to agricultural producers. Its research portfolio spans six disciplines — nematology, entomology, soil fertility, plant nutrition, herbology, and plant pathology — supported by an in-house nematology laboratory and cultivar competition trials for soybean and corn. Dual MAPA accreditations (IN 36/42 granted in March 2017 and IN 53 granted in August 2017) authorize the firm to issue official regulatory reports in Brazil.

The business model is professional services-based: projects are quote-based and tailored to client requirements rather than priced on a public schedule. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct field engagement with agricultural producers in Mato Grosso do Sul, an annual Encontro para Produtores event in São Gabriel do Oeste, and digital channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp). Two customer segments are served: regional mid-market producers seeking productivity and crop-protection consulting, and enterprise agrochemical companies requiring MAPA-compliant registration trials. The firm is led by Marcos de Moraes Pereira, who assumed leadership in February 2018 following the passing of founder Prof. Dr. Francisco de Assis Rolim Pereira; the operational backbone is anchored by Proplanta under Nádio João da Silva and a small specialized research team. The firm maintains strategic relationships with BASF as a seed/event partner and academic ties to Anhanguera-Uniderp.

With approximately 7 employees, no external institutional investors, and no disclosed funding, the company operates as a focused regional specialist rather than a scaling platform. Differentiation rests on its MAPA accreditations, multidisciplinary research depth, inherited academic legacy, and embedded relationships with the Mato Grosso do Sul producer community. No AI/ML or software-product capabilities are disclosed; the offering is services-only.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek (Brazil): Intertek provides agricultural and food testing services globally, including Brazil, with capabilities in pesticide residue, soil, and crop testing. It competes with CropSolutions for analytical and field-trial work, but within a much wider testing, inspection, and certification portfolio.
• Stoller do Brasil: Stoller do Brasil (now part of Corteva) is a major Brazilian specialty plant nutrition and biostimulant company with significant in-house agronomic research and field trial activity. It overlaps with CropSolutions in plant nutrition, biostimulant, and crop protection research, though on a much larger commercial scale.
• Bureau Veritas (Brazil): Bureau Veritas offers agricultural commodity and agrochemical-related testing and certification services globally, including Brazil. Its agri-food chain testing overlaps with CropSolutions' agricultural testing capabilities, though as part of a much broader TIC portfolio.
• SGS (Brazil Agricultural Services): SGS is a global testing, inspection, and certification company with agricultural services in Brazil covering soil, water, seed, and crop protection testing. It competes with CropSolutions in agricultural testing and field trial services, but on a much broader portfolio that extends well beyond agronomy.

Direct peers

• Agroconsult: Agroconsult is one of Brazil's largest independent agricultural consulting firms, providing agronomic research, market intelligence, and field-trial-adjacent advisory services to producers and agrochemical companies. It is a direct comparable in the Brazilian agronomic consulting and applied research space.
• Eurofins Agroscience Services (Brazil): Eurofins' dedicated agroscience division operates a global network of GLP/MAPA-accredited field trial and regulatory testing laboratories, including in Brazil. It is the most direct competitor to CropSolutions' regulatory research and efficacy-trial business for agrochemical sponsors.

Emerging players

• Agroservice (Solos e Folhas): Agroservice is a Brazilian agricultural laboratory and consulting firm that provides soil, plant tissue, and agronomic analysis services. It overlaps with CropSolutions' soil fertility and plant nutrition testing capabilities, though it is less focused on MAPA-accredited field trials.
• Integrar Gestão Rural: Integrar Gestão Rural is a Brazilian agronomic consulting and farm management firm serving agricultural producers with technical advisory services. It is comparable to CropSolutions' agronomic consulting arm, though without the dedicated research laboratory and MAPA-accredited field trial capabilities.
• Tbitagro: Tbitagro is a Brazilian agricultural research firm that conducts field trials, efficacy studies, and regulatory research for the crop protection industry. It is a direct emerging competitor in MAPA-accredited field trial and agrochemical registration research.

Others

• Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation): Embrapa is Brazil's federal agricultural research corporation and a globally recognized institution in tropical agronomy. While it does not compete directly for commercial field trial work, it shapes the research agenda, methodology, and talent pool that CropSolutions draws from in Mato Grosso do Sul.
