What's Happening?
Koppert Sustainable Solutions India Limited (KoSSIL) has inaugurated one of the world's largest single-site production facilities dedicated to Mycorrhiza in Hyderabad, India. This facility aims to meet the increasing demand for sustainable and biological
farming solutions both in India and globally. The inauguration was led by Aron Oosthoek, Managing Director of Reka BV Group, and attended by delegates from Europe and South America, as well as leaders from Indian agrochemical and biological companies. The facility is a result of over a decade of research and development conducted in India, focusing on strain isolation and large-scale production. This launch aligns with the EU-India Trade Agreement, enhancing India's position in agri-biotechnology manufacturing.
Why It's Important?
The opening of this facility marks a significant advancement in sustainable agriculture, providing a boost to the global supply of biological farming inputs. By focusing on Mycorrhiza, a key component in improving soil health, KoSSIL is addressing critical agricultural challenges. This development not only strengthens India's role in the global agri-biotech sector but also supports the transition to more sustainable farming practices. The facility's compliance with European regulatory standards further positions India as a reliable supplier of high-quality biological products, potentially influencing global agricultural policies and practices.
What's Next?
With the facility now operational, KoSSIL plans to expand its product portfolio to include a wider range of microbial consortium products. This strategic move is expected to enhance the company's market presence both domestically and internationally. The facility's alignment with the EU-India Trade Agreement may lead to increased trade opportunities and collaborations between Indian and European agricultural sectors. As the demand for sustainable farming solutions grows, KoSSIL's investment in research and development is likely to continue, potentially leading to further innovations in the field.
