As a meeting point for oil and protein plants, the DLG specialist partner Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e.V. (UFOP) will be presenting a wide range of modern and high-yielding varieties of winter oilseed rape, sunflowers, field beans, grain peas, sweet lupins and soya beans on 800 square metres of trial area.
In addition to the classic 00 oilseed rape and varieties with other oil qualities such as Eruca oilseed rape and HOLL oilseed rape, there are also oilseed rape varieties with resistance to cabbage blight and water beet yellowing virus in the field.
Sunflowers and HO sunflowers round off UFOP's presence in oil plants.
Another technical focus of UFOP's presence is on the grain legumes field beans, grain peas, blue and white sweet lupins and soya beans. Here, UFOP works closely with the LeguNet of the BMLEH protein crop strategy. Consultants from this demo network will be available as contacts for both conventional and organic cultivation as co-exhibitors at the UFOP stand.
Rapeseed is a raw material supplier for Germany's most popular cooking oil, sustainably produced biofuels and domestic protein animal feed. Flowering oilseed rape is also the most important honeybee honey plant. This makes rapeseed indispensable for humans, agriculture and nature. Grain legumes are gaining both in area and importance in more and more regions.
PopUp Talks
PopUp Talks
Every day, the UFOP stand will host a pop-up talk on exciting topics related to oil and protein crops.
We warmly welcome you to visit us at stand VA22!
UFOP's stand presentation is geared towards the goal of the 10+10 strategy:
By 2030, the areas under cultivation for rapeseed and legumes should each reach 10% of Germany's arable land.
UFOP
Sowing ideas ...
UFOP represents the political interests of companies, associations and institutions involved in the production, processing and marketing of domestic oil and protein crops in national and international committees. For more than 35 years, the association has developed and successfully implemented numerous ideas for optimising agricultural production and developing new uses in the areas of food, energy and animal feed.
Reaping success!
Like no other organisation, UFOP has succeeded in bringing together breeding, cultivation, the market and agricultural policy into a common concept supported by the entire agricultural industry.
UFOP has succeeded in developing biodiesel into a pioneer among renewable raw materials. Knowledge about the high nutritional quality of rapeseed oil has been comprehensively established – rapeseed oil has been the undisputed No. 1 on food retailers' oil shelves for years. Feed based on domestic oil and protein crops has found a recognised protagonist in UFOP and makes an important contribution to the supply of domestic protein. Agricultural practice benefits from numerous practical information and variety testing results.
