At the end of December, Fundecitrus (Citrus Defense Fund) announced the new list, “ProteCitrus” - Citrus Protection Products, with this new classification replacing the old PIC (Integrated Citrus Production) List.

“The new model is no longer just a pesticide nomination list and raises its status to an industry voluntary citrus protection program, broadening the requirements for a product to be listed on the roll and anticipating consumer trends and regulations in various international markets,” explained Fundecitrus.

ProteCitrus comprises a committee, consisting of research institutes, consultants and juice producing industries, which meets periodically for analysis and updates. The goal is to connect the farmer with the demands of governments and customers in the face of global demand for food production with the lowest possible environmental impact, further enhancing the sustainable techniques practiced in Brazilian citrus.

"The creation of ProteCitrus is guided by the concern of Fundecitrus and the citrus industry, with the pillars of sustainability and good agricultural practices," said Fundecitrus President, Lourival Monaco.
