Kaiima Bio-Agritech · raw details

Kaiima Bio-Agritech is a plant genetics and breeding technology company that partners with seed companies and research institutes to develop solutions specifically suited to sustainable agriculture. Kaiima has developed a non-GMO platform called EP, which in conjunction with advanced breeding programs boosts the inherent productivity and resource-usage efficiency of high-impact food and energy crops. The technology induces genomic diversity within the plant genome followed by unique selection methodologies, providing immediate yield gains relative to traditional breeding systems. The companys business operations extend to castor breeding, marketing and sales (through its CastorMaxx platform), and high-quality vegetable-variety development through its Top Seeds subsidiary. In May 2017, Kaiima Bio-Agritech Ltd and Becks, the largest family-owned retail seed company in the United States, announced their agreement to evaluate the integration of Kaiimas non-GMO EP technology platform into Becks proprietary corn-breeding program. This new collaboration follows a recently completed three-year project that assessed the EP technologys efficacy in Becks elite corn germplasm.
