Microgeo expands in Paraguay with new automated biostation

Microgeo has further expanded its footprint in South America with the opening of a new automated biostation in Paraguay. This development follows the company’s long-standing partnership with Lar Paraguay, a key distributor in the region. The collaboration underscores the shared commitment to fostering sustainable agricultural practices and advancing biotechnology solutions for soil management.

The new biostation, part of Microgeo’s efforts to promote sustainable productivity, was inaugurated in a region poised for agricultural growth. Paraguay, with its fertile soil and dynamic agribusiness sector, presents a promising market for innovations in soil microbiology. Microgeo’s expertise in biotechnology, particularly its focus on soil microbiome management, aligns well with the needs of local producers who seek to optimize natural resources while enhancing output.

Gustavo Carvalho Pinto, Microgeo’s commercial manager for the region, emphasized the significance of the launch, noting that the biostation represents a major step forward for both the company and Paraguayan agribusiness. He highlighted that the technology is designed to improve soil resource utilization, boosting productivity and supporting sustainable agricultural practices at a critical time for the sector.

Lar Paraguay, a well-established distributor in the country for over 28 years, has been integral to the success of Microgeo’s operations in Paraguay for more than a decade. Cristhiano Mayer, the commercial manager at Lar Paraguay, reiterated that the partnership goes beyond product distribution. It focuses on transforming agricultural practices through innovative solutions that balance productivity with environmental stewardship.

The biostationis equipped with advanced technology to restore the soil microbiome and ensure greater productive efficiency across crop cycles. It aims to help local farmers regenerate soils and improve crop yields in a sustainable manner, reflecting the broader goals of the partnership. Both companies view the biostation as an important step toward addressing the region’s agricultural challenges while ensuring long-term environmental sustainability.
