Solynta
Hybrid Potato Breeding that contributes to feeding the world's growing and often malnutritioned population
About Solynta
Solynta is a Dutch company at the forefront of agricultural technology, specializing in the development and production of hybrid true potato seeds. This non-GMO technology revolutionizes potato cultivation by starting from seeds instead of traditional tubers, offering numerous advantages to growers and the food industry.
The company's business model is centered on selling these high-quality hybrid seeds to farmers and agricultural businesses worldwide. By using true seeds, Solynta addresses several key challenges in potato farming, including the transmission of diseases, logistical complexities of transporting bulky seed tubers, and the long breeding cycle of conventional potatoes. The hybrid seeds are designed to produce potatoes with desirable traits such as disease resistance, higher yields, and improved climate resilience, which in turn increases food security and profitability for farmers.
Solynta operates in the global agricultural market, targeting regions where potatoes are a staple crop and where improvements in cultivation can have a significant impact. Its clients range from smallholder farmers in developing countries to large-scale commercial growers in established markets. The company's approach not only enhances the efficiency and sustainability of potato production but also contributes to a more resilient and secure global food supply.
