Driven to embed climate-resilience into African food systems via technology localization while tapping into waste2resource innovation, we have pioneered MENA’s 1st industrial scale facility that valorizes the biopolymer, Chitosan, from a diversity of crustacean waste to then combine it with bio-compounds sourced from the region to create 100% organic & democratic crop solutions. Chitosan has a versatile ability to bind to other compounds and increase uptake by atleast 25% such nutrients prone to soil leakage. Products to date combat 50+ pathogen varieties & climate stressors [salinity & extreme weather] boosting crop yield upto 35% at 20% cost savings. Beyond immediate impact of empowering farmer participation in higher-income crops, we are enabling additional wealth generation [in 2023 by $150M ], Promoting water savings via more-crop-per-drop tech [1.7B L of water in 2023] and expediting the path towards food security [extra yield output in 2023 = feeding 5,600 more Sectors Agrichemicals, Biotechnology and medical research, Waste management and recycling Location First 6th of October, Egypt Stage Sign in to view details Markets Sign in to view details Customer model Sign in to view details Supported by OXFAM Impact SME's Development Programme Contact Sign in to view details Social media Articles 18 agritechs selected for the 2025 SAIS Investment Readiness Programme Introducing the 18 agri- and food-tech companies selected for the SAIS Investment Readiness Program 2025 who are using digital solutions to transform agriculture, food,… read more
