Something new has been launched in our data insights! You can now view the crop protection table in the MPS Customer Portal. In this table you will find an annual overview of the crop protection agents and active substances you have used, along with their associated MPS-MIND colours.
In addition to these usage overviews per year and per period, you can now also gain a more precise insight into the active substances you have used. From these annual overviews you can navigate to the “Active substances in crop protection agents” section by clicking on the table icon. This table shows you which agents you have used. The MPS-MIND colour indicates the classification of each substance. The active substance(s) in the agents concerned can be found in the “Active substance” column. In the “Usage in kg per year” columns, you can see how many kilograms of active substance you have used.
The table is interactive, which means that it can be sorted by substance name, MPS-MIND colour, active substance or usage in kilograms per year.
We, as MPS data team, have been working hard on this launch and we are proud of that. If you have any questions about this new launch, please contact us via mps-data@my-mps.com.
Over 30 years ago, my journey at MPS began after I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. After the birth of my daughter, I was looking to return to work and joined the data entry department. At the time, all data was still entered manually from paper forms. Since then, I have seen the organisation grow and change, and I have grown along with it.Today, I work in the Service & Support department. No two days are the same: one day I help a customer with questions about record-keeping, the next I help them understand requirements from the auction or the UO. It is precisely this variety and the personal contact with customers that make my work interesting every day.
In 2008, I joined MPS through a recruitment agency as a secretary. I then held various positions within MPS and MPS-ECAS, including roles in the Service & Support team and as a planner. In 2018, I left the organisation for a while, but in 2023 I returned to MPS-ECAS as a back-office employee. The people are simply too much fun and the world of ornamental horticulture is so innovative that it kept drawing me back. Shortly afterwards, I started working at MPS as Coordinator Netherlands.
During the final year of my Environmental Sciences degree, I joined MPS for an internship. The internship worked out so well for both sides that I was able to stay afterwards. It felt like a natural next step, because I immediately felt at home here and was given the opportunity to continue developing myself.My work is very varied. I work on different projects and products, carry out research and analyses and contribute to practical solutions. I also manage various systems, support customers with complex technical questions and work with external parties. It is precisely this combination that makes my work interesting and ensures that no two weeks are the same.
I first joined MPS through a friend who worked in MPS’s student team. I continued working here while studying Commercial Economics, and at the end of my studies, in 2004, MPS asked if I wanted to join the organisation permanently. It seemed like a great opportunity, and more than twenty years later, I am still here.No two days are the same, and that is exactly what makes my work so enjoyable. A large part of my week consists of project meetings and translating needs from within the organisation into practical solutions. Thursday afternoon is a regular fixture, which I set aside with a colleague to make MPS 1% better every week. For example, we experiment with AI, build prototypes, improve processes or develop new ideas. The goal is always to work smarter and create more value for colleagues, customers and the organisation.
