Members of the Réseau végétal Québec believe:
The goal: To contribute to a strong innovative, responsible and sustainable agriculture!
The Réseau végétal Québec always took to heart making positive contributions to discussions, reflections and finding solutions befitting their contemporary issues.
Established on March 6, 1995, the Association has changed name several times, always aiming to better meet the farmers’ needs and consumers’ expectations.
First created as Les Engrais chimiques du Québec, the Organization became the Association des fabricants d’engrais du Québec in 1982, and then became the Professional Association in Crop Nutrition in 2009.
For several decades, the members of the Association have made the promotion of the best practices, shared skills and collaborated with the crop production stakeholders. They were involved in different organizations and groups dedicated to research, sharing information in their field of expertise and contributing to several documents and communication tools to pass on their knowledge.
In 2009, the Association launched Le Rendez-vous végétal with its partners, the Association des négociants en céréales du Québec, CropLife Canada and Le Bulletin des agriculteurs. Organized with a sectoral approach, this conference event gathers nearly 600 people each year from the whole crop production industry.
