By developing biological alternatives to synthetic chemicals, companies like Biofactor help reduce pesticide-related harm across these four pillars of global health.
What this partnership means
- Portal users will soon be able to search for detailed information about Biofactor’s biologically based crop protection products.
- As one of the innovative Indian firms in the biologicals space, Biofactor’s participation helps deepen the Portal’s footprint in India.

Why this matters
While India is seeing growing interest in biopesticides to reduce chemical dependency, access to reliable and clear information can pose a challenge. The CABI BioProtection Portal aims to bridge that gap.
By partnering with companies like Biofactor, which are already developing products adapted to Indian conditions, the Portal provides more relevant information for growers and advisors on the ground.
