Consortium partners

CITRUSBUSTERS reflects the truly global nature of pest threats and the need for cross-border cooperation.

Our consortium brings together experts and stakeholders from seven countries, with complementary roles and expertise.

We represent:

• Southern Europe: Spain, Italy, and Greece
  Regions where citrus cultivation is a vital economic and cultural pillar
• Central and Western Europe: France, the Netherlands, and Slovakia
  centres of excellence in biotechnology, data modelling, agricultural innovation, and outreach
• Brazil:
  One of the world’s leading citrus producers, offering essential field experience, scientific know-how, and diverse testing conditions beyond the EU context

This wide geographic coverage allows us to:

• test solutions across different climates, 
• exchange best practices,
• develop tools that are both locally relevant and globally scalable.
  
  

We work hand-in-hand with growers, researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to develop solutions that are practical, scalable, and grounded in real-world needs.
