Lucent BioSciences has announced its strategic expansion into the US, EU, and Brazil. The company’s products support increased food production without increasing the strain on natural resources.
As Lucent BioSciences expands its presence in global agrifood systems, it remains dedicated to driving innovation and sustainability across diverse markets. With a focus on expanding its presence in the US market through partnerships like the recent distribution partnership with Van Diest Supply, Lucent Bio aims to deliver its micronutrient fertilizer solution, Soileos, to farmers in the US Midwest, supporting key crop acres, including corn, soybean, and wheat.
The company is also actively engaging in strategic initiatives in Latin America, collaborating with agri-food industry members and with Brazilian agricultural research corporation Embrapa to support advanced agricultural practices and agri-food systems through Brazil. In addition, Celso Morreti, former CEO of Embrapa, has joined Lucent Bio’s board of advisors.
In the EU, Lucent Bio has started partnerships with several leading agriculture distributors, crop input providers and food processing companies to get product manufacturing operational, serving the EU market.
“At Lucent Bio, collaboration is key to driving meaningful change in agriculture.” Says Michael Riedijk, Founder and CEO of Lucent BioSciences. “As part of its growth strategy, Lucent Bio is dedicated to fostering partnerships that drive innovation and sustainability in agri-food systems. By joining forces with industry leaders and local experts, Lucent Bio aims to leverage collective expertise and resources as we address pressing challenges and seize opportunities in diverse agri-food systems globally.”
With its expansion into new regions and strategic collaborations with industry frontrunners, Lucent Bio looks to deliver advancements in agri-food systems and practices. A study in collaboration with Viresco found that crop production using the Soileos delivery system has the potential for offsetting GHG emissions by 3 – 4 t of CO2e for every t of Soileos used.
