The Polimax project is a technology designed to promote entomophilous pollination as a way to increase agricultural production yields and produce fruits with seeds of added value due to their nutritional quality and preservation capacity.
Promoters:
- COTHN Interface Center (National Horticultural and Fruit Technological Operations Center)
- Campotec
- Cooperfrutas
- Cerfundão
- INIAV (National Institute for Agrarian and Veterinary Research)
- FNAP (National Federation of Beekeepers)
- Pinus Verde
Challenges Addressed:
The developments carried out as part of this project have made it possible, among other things:
- Promoting pollination to improve production, fruit quality, and preservation
- Valuing biodiversity and, consequently, ensuring high-quality production.
Practical Benefits for Society:
The completion of the Polimax project delivered several key benefits, including:
- Enhancing food security levels by reducing dependence on agrochemicals.
- Increasing agricultural production yields and the intrinsic preservation capacity of fruits.
