Our Missions & Values

At the heart of our mission is the recognition that plastic can be a valuable asset in agriculture when used responsibly.

Our mission section-image is to unite global plasticulture organizations, promote sustainable practices, and drive innovative solutions section-image for productive and eco-friendly agriculture.
Our mission is to improve the yields and quality of agricultural section-image production, while reducing the need for water section-image inputs and useful areas necessary for crops and livestock.

Our Missions

The International Committee of Plastics in Agriculture (CIPA) serves as a global consortium, uniting national associations dedicated to advancing plasticulture.

Facilitating international Collaboration

We provide a platform for national committees to exchange knowledge and best practices, fostering innovation in agricultural plastics.

Disseminating Research and Information

CIPA ensures that the global plastics community stays informed about the latest research and developments in agricultural applications.

Addressing Scientific and Technical Challenges

We promote harmonized solutions to scientific and technical issues in agricultural plastics, encouraging international standardization.

Promoting Experimentation and Standardization

By supporting trials and the creation of quality standards, CIPA aims to achieve internationally recognized benchmarks in plasticulture.

Analyzing Environmental Impacts

We study the relationship between plastics in agriculture and the environment, striving for sustainable practices.

The Importance of Plastics in Agriculture

Plastic plays an essential role in modern agriculture. It allows farmers to increase productivity, protect crops, and use resources more efficiently. Here are some of the applications and benefits of agricultural plastics :

At CIPA, we are committed to the responsible use of plastic to enhance agricultural productivity while safeguarding the environment.

Protection and Adaptability

Agricultural plastics provide crop protection against pests, weeds, and extreme weather conditions, enabling versatile solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment, while offering solutions that reduce phytosanitary inputs.

Protection and Adaptability

Agricultural plastics provide crop protection against pests, weeds, and extreme weather conditions, enabling versatile solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment.

Increased Crop
Yields

Greenhouse films, mulch, and other plastic products allow for optimized growing conditions, increasing yields and improving crop quality.

Resource
Conservation

Plasticulture products help conserve water and reduce the need for chemical inputs, contributing to healthier soils and ecosystems.

Join Our Mission for a Sustainable Future

From continental organisations to national associations, CIPA invites all stakeholders to join us in advancing sustainable agriculture. Together, we can create an agricultural sector that supports productivity and respects our planet’s resources.
