At Bayer, we know that the world of farming is ever-evolving. Fields change, weeds adapt, temperatures fluctuate. As they do, products need to change too. That’s why we place innovation at the centre of our business. To make your job easier from seed to harvest, our bioscientists and agronomists turn extensive field research into biotechnology solutions. 

To help farmers control existing crop threats and get ahead of emerging ones, we are constantly updating our diverse product portfolio of seeds, seed treatments, traits, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and harvest aids/PGRs. Our products offer proven broad-spectrum disease, pest and weed control, easier crop management and the timesaving technologies for maximizing crop production and enhancing profitability. 

In 2016, Bayer opened an office in Zambia to focus on the local agricultural sector through its Crop Science Division.

Through a robust team and excellent management, the Crop Science division continues to make significant strides to meet the agricultural demands that the country requires.
