OlsAro Crop Biotech is accelerating the development of climate-resilient cereals through SeedAX™, a proprietary biotech engine that delivers precise traits and varieties via a multi-tech approach. We address the $100B+ challenge of declining yields caused by salinity, drought, heat, and nutrient loss—factors already affecting over 80% of arable land. Field trials across Asia and Africa have shown up to 41% higher yields for salinity tolerant and additional strong performance for heat-tolerant lines, with ongoing R&D in nitrogen efficiency to cut fertilizer use. Based in Sweden, OlsAro collaborates globally across Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. Backed by leading agri-food investors—AgFunder, PINC (Paulig investment arm), Future Food Fund, Mudcake, and Flora Ventures—OlsAro is scaling SeedAX™ toward commercial deployment.
