🌾 BASF is proud to announce the official launch of Luxinum® herbicide in Indonesia — a milestone that marks the first global introduction of Luxinum® for rice cultivation. Powered by Luximo® Active, Luxinum® brings a novel mode of action (HRAC Group 30) to the market — the first of its kind in decades. This innovation reflects BASF’s commitment to delivering science-based solutions that support sustainable agriculture and food security. Indonesia, the world’s fourth-largest rice producer, has set an ambitious rice self-sufficiency target of 32 million tons by 2025. Luxinum® helps farmers tackle one of the biggest threats to yield: hard-to-control weeds like wild rice (Padi Setan), which can cause up to 90% yield loss if unmanaged. With Luxinum®, BASF empowers farmers to achieve cleaner fields, stronger crop growth, and more resilient harvests — contributing to national food goals and long-term agricultural transformation.

In today’s hybrid work environment, face-to-face connections are invaluable. Last week, Jessica Fischer-Notheis, Teamlead Global Sourcing Expert Squad, visited our Toronto hub, spending time with local team members Paula V., Laís Eufrosino, CCLP, and Cecilia Shen to enhance collaboration, celebrate achievements, and align on future goals. Jessica’s visit went beyond a routine check-in; it was a meaningful opportunity to bridge distances, foster trust, and reinforce our shared mission. From one-on-one conversations to brainstorming sessions, the energy was palpable, showcasing the importance of in-person engagement. Here are a few highlights from the visit: 🤝 Personalized Coaching: Understanding each team member’s projects, challenges, and aspirations for tailored guidance. 💡 Innovation in Action: Exploring new ideas to improve workflows and enhance cross-regional collaboration. 🌆 Local Culture, Global Vision: A walk through downtown Toronto, blending local flavor with global strategy. This visit reminds us that leadership is about presence, empathy, and connection. Here’s to more moments of connection—across cities, continents, and cultures. 🌍 #Leadership #Teamwork #GlobalTeams #BASFTorontoHub #EmployeeEngagement #BASF_GSES #BASF_GlobalDigitalProcurement
