This was reported by the company “Profertil” The wheat chain now has two free guides available to help it work more sustainably. They were launched under the Argentina Neutral Carbon Program (PACN) in which the company participates.

The PACN Wheat Sector Chart has just released a guide to calculating wheat carbon balance and other good environmental practices developed by INTA and an INTI team of experts as they cover the entire chain, from field production to industry. “Sector,” he said. The PACN includes manufacturers, units, companies and chambers from each product chain of the value chain.

“The first guide will let you know the carbon footprint that is generated from each link in the chain, from planting until the factory package leaves the factory. “It’s a tool that allows the manufacturer, for example, to upload all their practices and know the emissions they generate in order to calculate what impact their production has on the environment,” he said.

“The second guide, in turn, is a good practice management guide that has a positive impact on reducing carbon emissions, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). “Both are available for free and should only be requested from the PACN Secretariat,” he added.

Sabine Papendik, PACN’s Coordinator General, said: “The participation of a company like Profertil is key to calculating and managing the carbon equivalent balance by product, as this approach requires environmental profiles for all inputs, from cradle to port. Export or domestic distribution channel.

For his part, Mario Suprit, the company’s commercial manager, said: “Our participation in this initiative is fully in line with the goal that we, as a company, have to be an active part of the transformation of agriculture into activities that produce more and less greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the firm, it has developed eNe Total Plus, “a fertilizer that allows maximum use of nitrogen applied to the surface, as it prevents evaporation losses.”

“By increasing fertilizer doses, this product reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 21% and increases carbon sequestration in crops as it increases their yields. “In terms of net emissions, it is 40% more efficient per kilogram of grain produced than other fertilizers,” he added.
