The Opportunity

Zayndu Limited (“the Company” or “Zayndu”) substantially improves the economics of indoor agriculture – treating food crop seeds prior to planting and eliminating the use of harmful chemicals.

• Zayndu uses a process similar to that in fluorescent lights and lightning to kill harmful pathogens on the surface of seeds.
• This process creates seed conditions that increase germination and plant growth rates, improving crop yields by up to 40%.
• Zayndu’s approach also eliminates the need for environmentally damaging and costly seed preparation processes, such as bleach baths and drying.
• Comparative studies demonstrate substantial yield and cost improvements over existing approaches. These translate into a potential 40% profit uplift for growers.
• Early deployments include the UK’s leading independent seed specialist and plant breeder, a leading global flower seed producer and the world’s largest vertical farm.
