Biofor System gathered agricultural producers from all parts of our country and the surrounding region last week with the aim of exchanging experiences and presenting the results they achieved during the previous season. The event was organised in preparation for the start of the agricultural season, and farmers were also awarded certificates for BST technology.
Spec. Graduate Engineer Bogdan Žigić, Director of Biofor System, does not hide his satisfaction with the number of participants gathered. In his opinion, the large number of farmers represents a significant accumulation of valuable practical knowledge and experience.
Which regions did the participants come from?
As Žigić states, “from the Alps to the Black Sea”. Biofor System operates throughout the region, from Slovenia and Croatia, through Republika Srpska and Romania, while, of course, the largest number of clients come from Serbia.
A large number of people attending the event have been using Biofor System products for more than 10 years. As the company director concludes, this indicates that the first clients were “properly nurtured” and that trust has been developed between customers and the company.
How important are such gatherings for farmers?
We spoke with Predrag Josimović from Novi Bečej, who testified that the presentations organised by Biofor System are useful and dynamic and keep the audience engaged throughout.
Stefan Dorijan from Beloš states that such gatherings are beneficial in many ways, both for acquiring new knowledge and for connecting with other producers and building a network.
Predrag Vukov from Zrenjanin attends these events in order to continue his education, while highly qualified lecturers, such as professors from the Faculty of Agriculture, share valuable knowledge with participants.
Miloš Zorić from Bačka Palanka claims that visitors to the event already know almost everything about Biofor products. However, the most useful aspect of such gatherings is the exchange of experiences with other farmers, where certain practical details regarding the use of the products are learned directly from experience.
What are the experiences in neighbouring countries?
Graduate Engineer Stanko Tadić from Golić Trade in Gradiška explains that cooperation with Biofor System began in 2014. He is actively involved in all field trials in the regions of Semberija, Podrinje, and Tuzla Canton.
According to our interviewee, the results are outstanding, and the best way for farmers to see this for themselves is simply to try Biofor products on a portion of their land. All products are available throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Tadić notes that in the past two years BioEho has stood out as a foliar fertiliser and has become the best-selling product.
Graduate Engineer Dinu Lotrean states that excellent results have been achieved on the Romanian market with the help of Biofor products in the decomposition of crop residues, nitrogen fixation, and the mobilisation of other micro- and macroelements. Another advantage recognised by Romanian farmers is the favourable cost of application per hectare, which leaves room for greater profit per hectare, especially under difficult agro-climatic conditions.
Is Biofor System preparing new products?
“All of our products are the result of research and development. We have a serious development team that works on this every year, and there are always ongoing projects aimed at developing new products. Approximately every two years a new product is launched. That is how much time we need, not for development, but for the market to be able to accept it,” explains the Director of Biofor System.
