In the bash shell you need to use

  export NAME=value

for the values to get added to the environment.  Simply typing

  NAME=value

in bash creates shell variables not environment variables.
But that is the syntax of the line you will want to add to crontab.

And yes I know it is confusing having similar syntax do
different things depending one where you are.
