Producing more while restoring more
The world is hungry: Not only for food, fiber and fuel, but for innovative solutions that restore natural resources and help address climate change. Regenerative agriculture is key to Bayer’s sustainability journey and central to our crop science offering, where we drive innovation in farming practices to meet the dual challenge of increasing food production and restoring environmental wellbeing.
At the core of this is our vision: Produce 50% More. Restore Nature. Scale Regenerative Agriculture. That’s why we work together with a growing number of farmers and partners across the Middle East to contribute to a future filled with advanced solutions that restore natural resources, like soil and water, and help address climate change at the same time.
With innovative chemical and biological crop protection, seeds and traits and digital technologies and services, we strive to discover and promote farming practices that help our planet thrive and become a better place for generations to come.
As a leader in global crop protection, we offer farmers innovative solutions that allows them to address pests, disease and weed challenges.
Our portfolio in the Middle East covers herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, all designed to help farmers combat threats and boost productivity while reducing their environmental footprint.

Seeds form the foundation of agriculture and hold the key to delivering the food, fuel and fiber to provide for a rapidly growing global population. Across the Middle East, Bayer offers tailored solutions that consider the individual needs of each field, crop and farmer, supporting them in improving their harvests and achieving their goals.
Our seed portfolio combines the best genetics and most advanced traits in the industry. We innovate to harness the world’s leading germplasm pool and apply our deep knowledge of genetics, genomic, biotechnology and data science to support farmers.
Our scientists innovate to deliver a seed and trait pipeline rich with high-performing seed solutions across dozens of the world’s most important crops. By packing more power and potential into the seeds farmers plant, we empower them to produce more with less.
The Middle East's arid desert landscape presents formidable challenges for agriculture due to its harsh environmental conditions. Identifying that are resilient to such conditions is crucial for sustainable agriculture in this region.
Bayer has been shaping and growing the biological segment to become the preferred R&D and commercial partner in the Middle East. Against a rapidly expanding biological industry, Bayer continues to drive innovation and include new kinds of nature-derived biocontrol and bio stimulant solutions like pheromone products, botanicals, plant extracts and even synthetic biology.
By building on our brand’s regulatory expertise and global commercialization capabilities, we are able to bring new products to the region faster than ever before, empowering partners to widen their impact and reach millions of growers with Bayer.
For over two decades, Bayer has been at the forefront of agricultural data solutions. In fact, the transformational power of digital tools and data has never been greater. In the Middle East, we are committed to setting a new standard in data-driven innovation that provides growers with actionable insights, allowing them to go beyond the farm and into the value chain.
Our Innovations
In December 2023, Silal and Bayer partnered to bolster the agricultural landscape in the UAE by implementing best-in-class agricultural practices, capacity building programs as well as undertaking comprehensive vegetable seed trials. This collaboration recognizes the key role that agriculture plays in enhancing resilience and mitigating risks associated with climate change. Through this partnership, Silal and Bayer will strive to enhance the capabilities of local agronomists, fostering an environment conducive to agricultural innovation and excellent, leveraging Bayer’s BayG.A.P. capacity building program.
