Description

The company's technology addresses challenges in mass-producing exogenous RNAi-based products through a large-scale fermentation process. This enables farmers to protect and enhance their crops and cattle, offering cost-efficient production of RNA. RNAgri focuses on developing technology for the production of dsRNA, which has applications in topical RNAi for insect, virus, and disease control. This technology provides selective insect control without harming beneficial insects or biodiversity. Topical RNAi is a safe and environmentally sustainable solution, appealing to farmers. RNAgri's scalable production technology utilizes proven industrial-scale fermentations, allowing for the manufacture of metric tons of RNA at less than $1.00 per gram. Additionally, RNAgri is working on environmentally friendly RNAi products for urban and structural pest control, which have significant value for global agricultural companies and society as a whole, complementing and replacing existing technologies.
