Indian ag-biotech start-up BioPrime AgriSolutions Pvt. Ltd. has announced a strategic partnership with crop nutrition company Yara India, a subsidiary of Yara International. The companies said the collaboration brings together BioPrime’s SNIPR technology in the branded product “Chiron” with Yara India’s expertise in crop nutrition.
“We are delighted to announce Yara India’s strategic partnership with BioPrime, a leading player in bio-stimulants,” said Sanjiv Kanwar, Managing Director, Yara South Asia. “This alliance signifies not just our mutual commitment to innovation and sustainability, but also a shared vision of a greener future for India. Yara India is committed to enhancing crop nutrition and soil health, ensuring healthier crops and improved livelihoods contributing to a nature-positive food future.”
BioPrime’s SNIPR technology utilizes small molecules to modulate plant responses effectively, the company said, enhancing flower count and improving flower-to-fruit conversion, resulting in a significant increase in crop yields, uniformity of produce, and a higher-grade output.
“We are excited to collaborate with Yara India to deliver sustainable solutions built on the back of nature for the benefit of farming community,” said Dr. Renuka Diwan, CEO of BioPrime. “Together with Yara India, we have the huge opportunity to cater to the unmet needs of the farmers facing the brunt of weather uncertainties leading to loss in yield.”
