About BioLumic
BioLumic is an innovative agtech startup based in New Zealand that specializes in ultraviolet (UV) light treatments for seeds and seedlings. The company operates in the agricultural technology market, focusing on enhancing plant growth, vigour, and yields through its proprietary UV technology.
