BASF has opened a new high-investment fermentation facility, the BioHub, at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany to scale up production of biological crop protection products and intermediates. This move reduces reliance on external manufacturers, enhances supply chain resilience, and offers manufacturing flexibility to adapt to changing market demands. By integrating R&D with industrial-scale production, BASF aims to accelerate innovation and bring new biological actives to market more quickly, supporting its strategy to balance conventional and sustainable solutions amid regulatory and industry pressures. The facility is also expected to improve process efficiency and sustainability through infrastructure synergies and lower energy intensity.

The Mosaic Company has invested £2.5 million in Oxford spinout SugaROx to support the commercialisation of a precision biostimulant based on trehalose-6-phosphate, aiming to improve crop yield and nutrient use efficiency. SugaROx’s patented delivery system and single, precisely manufactured active ingredient address the longstanding issue of inconsistent field performance in biologicals, with trials showing yield improvements of up to 15% in key crops. The company’s approach focuses on building strong agronomic evidence through independent, multi-season trials to ensure farmer confidence and regulatory readiness ahead of a targeted UK launch in 2027-2028. This investment aligns with Mosaic’s strategy to expand its Biosciences platform and develop integrated solutions that optimise plant physiology and resource use.
