Biobest is a global leader in biological crop protection and pollination. Through innovative and sustainable solutions, we help professional growers produce healthy crops while respecting people and the environment. With our own operations on every continent and exports to more than 70 countries, we are active in virtually every major horticultural region worldwide.
What makes our Regulatory Affairs & Trade Compliance environment unique is the combination of our global footprint and highly diverse product portfolio. We work not only with bumblebees and beneficial organisms, but also with animal feed, plant-based products, high-tech monitoring and detection systems, packaging, and other innovative solutions. Each product category comes with its own regulations, registration requirements and international trade obligations, making this a role with a broad and varied scope.
