据两家公司称，该项目的目的是通过制定和实施良好农业规范 (GAP) 以及制定可持续农业和食品安全法规框架来提高小黄瓜的产量和质量。
“Contract farming with Reitzel technicians’ advice and Bayer agronomical support is considered to be the most appropriate method of growing gherkins,” commented Bernard Poupon, CEO of Reitzel Groupe in a prepared statement. “This supports growers in their efforts to market their goods locally and internationally.”
在此次合作中，拜耳作物科学为 Reitzel 和印度农民提供创新的作物保护解决方案和技术专长。据新闻稿称，为了保护自然资源，已向农民提供有关 GAP 的建议和培训，包括现代种植方法、作物保护产品的安全使用和改进的水资源管理。
