BUSSINESS AREAS

We believe in a different way
of producing food.


Only food?

THE NEW NUTRITION ERA.

Led by a quick transition from chemical to natural.

An increasingly stringent regulatory framework for the use of synthetic chemicals in agriculture, food production, and practically every other sector. The food chain’s demand for a zero-residue policy, as well as the profile of a more demanding and knowledgeable consumer.

In light of this scenario, we have entered a new period in which time is of the essence: the priority is to limit the impact that chemical products have on health and the environment.

At MAAVi Innovation Center, we respond to the impending need to change the production model by developing 100% natural products with the same efficacy as synthetic chemicals at a competitive cost in agriculture, such as biopesticides, biostimulants, probiotics, valuable seed treatment, and fertilizer treatment.

In addition, we eliminate antibiotics and other chemical compounds from raw materials and replace E numbers in aquaculture, animal farming, the food and cosmetics industries, and other sectors that need to transition from a chemical-based to a natural-based model.

We are also concerned about residue management, which is why we revalue agricultural and food sector by-products in order to have a positive impact on the environment and their operating accounts.

CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES

We ensure your profitability.

Agriculture

Zero residue: We will help you to control pests and diseases with biopesticides as effective as synthetic chemicals.

Yield increase: We reduce crop stress and improve different stages by intervening in physiological processes using biostimulants, solutions that can maintain yield and crop quality while also offering efficient water management.

Real sustainability: We promote the revaluation of by-products with a positive impact both on your operating account and on the environment. We also promote the sequestration of environmental CO2, transforming it into agronomically assimilable carbon and fixing it to the soil.

The food industry, aquaculture, animal farming, the cosmetics industry, and other sectors concerned about the transition from synthetic chemistry to a nature-based system

  • Eliminate pesticides, antibiotics and other compounds from their raw materials to avoid traceability in food products
  • Eliminate E numbers by substituting chemical additives (preservatives, antioxidants, flavoring agents, etc) for natural ones to obtain Clean Labels
  • Revaluation of by-products to reduce their environmental impact and promote a real circular economy model.

Mito & Greenadier

Saber más

MAAVi Innovation Center ha desarrollado dos soluciones de biocontrol para Kimitec, empresa de su mismo grupo, presente en más de 90 países y con ventas en más de 80.

Se trata de MITO©️, un bioacaricida-insecticida con acción frente a todo tipo de ácaros y trips y de GREENADIER©️, un biopesticida para mosca blanca y pulgón.

Los registros de MITO©️ y GREENADIER©️ estarán listos durante 2023 y 2024 en USA, México, Brasil, Chile y Argentina. Próximamente también lo estarán en otros mercados, incluido el europeo.

FOOD INDUSTRY
AND OTHER SECTORS

We provide value to the entire food chain

We develop natural alternatives as effective as synthetic chemicals to protect human health and animal welfare while ensuring industry profitability

Aquaculture

Value contribution

Aquaculture systems need to be improved in order to have a positive impact on human health and sustainability. To accomplish this we develop all-natural solutions to:

  • Provide alternatives to antibiotics and chemical products (E numbers)
  • Naturally improve food efficiency and yield
  • Naturally improve survival and reprodution rates
  • Improvements in water quality (of the environment and animal welfare)
  • Revalue animal byproducts, which pose significant economic and environmental challenges.
  • Leverage new technologies by reintroducing them to the value chain to create an even more sustainable model.

Livestock

Value contribution

We replace synthetic constituents for natural approaches that provide an equivalent or higher level of activity and ensure that no antibiotics or other chemicals are transferred from food to humans.

  • Provide alternatives to antibiotics and chemical products (E numbers)
  • Natural enhancers of food efficiency and yield
  • Natural enhancers of survival and reprodution rate
  • Revalue animal byproducts, which pose significant economic and environmental challenges.
  • Leverage new technologies by reintroducing them to the value chain to create an even more sustainable model.

Nutrition

Value contribution

We define each challenge in close collaboration with our industry partners (meat, dairy, fisheries, etc.), and as a consequence, we are aware of the specifications that must be met in their operations, whether for procedures of substitution or enrichment. We give priority to developing “in silico” modeling and increasing our understanding of biochemical reactions and molecular pathways from a biomolecular perspective, which enables us to discover targets at this level and concentrate on them using artificial intelligence.

 

Cosmetics

Value contribution

We significantly accelerate research processes in active ingredients oriented to the realm of cosmetics by creating quick micro-assay systems (based on a broad cell culture platform) that, when combined with our knowledge of molecule activities stored in the artificial intelligence platform LINNA, enable the generation of “in silico” molecular structures to explore the effect they generate, and subsequently locate natural alternatives to face these challenges.
