Agriculture

For the love of farming, the biggest job on earth

Farming is the biggest job on earth – and it’s getting bigger and more complex. Throughout the world, society has a view on how land should be used, what foods should be produced and how much space for nature should be provided on farms. Added to this, dietary choices, food price and food security all add to the complexity of what a farmer’s roles and responsibilities are.

As one of the leading agricultural companies, we’ve spent over 110 years gaining a deep understanding of crops produced to combine transformative innovation with practical action in the field. We connect innovative, highly regulated products and digital tools with a farmer’s land and their know-how.

And we’ve developed a broad portfolio in Viet Nam that comprises chemical crop protection, seeds and traits, professional pest management and public health.

We know we can’t meet all of agriculture’s challenges alone. So we are working still more closely with our customers, the agricultural community, academia, peers and partners to better address the needs of people, the environment and the planet. Helping to feed the world and create a lasting legacy. We do everything in our power to build a sustainable future for agriculture by connecting innovation, customers and society.

Pest Control

BASF also offers a range of smart solutions for pest problems in urban and rural areas. From products to protect buildings from termites to mosquito nets which effectively combat the spread of vector-borne diseases, we help our customers to keep their homes, food establishments, and businesses clean and pest-free.

Turf, Ornamentals And Landscape
BASF’s expertise in plant health and plant protection extends much further than agriculture. We cater for the needs of golf superintendents and greenkeepers, as well as professional sports and amenity turf managers in keeping hard-working turf robust and healthy. We support commercial nurseries and greenhouse growers to combat pests and diseases and to ensure healthy plants. And we work with forestry and landscape professionals to care for forests and woodlands and other growing environments. For home gardeners, we sell a range of beneficial nematodes to combat garden pests.
Public Health
Every day, vector-borne diseases adversely affect the lives of millions. Beyond the individual tragedies, these diseases impose staggering social and economic costs on afflicted areas and limit growth and development. The World Health Organization states that vector control remains the most generally effective measure to prevent the transmission of insect-borne diseases. BASF’s Public Health business is part of the Agricultural Solutions division and benefits from the innovative strength of an extensive research and development pipeline and global expertise in insecticides. We work with local and global partners to help mitigate these devastating illnesses and ensure communities are not alone in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
Animal Nutrition
BASF is a leading, innovative supplier of feed additives for livestock and pet nutrition. Our products help farmers to raise vital animals, to utilize feeds more efficiently and to achieve top performance.
