Inari Agriculture focuses on improving crop performance through advanced genetic research. The company uses CRISPR technology to make precise changes to plant DNA, enhancing traits that lead to better yields and resilience. Inari's process begins with building genetic knowledge to identify beneficial traits, followed by generating diversity through targeted genetic modifications. The improved traits are then integrated into elite parent seeds, which are distributed through partnerships with seed companies to reach farmers. This model allows Inari to provide seeds that promise higher yields and better performance in challenging environments. Unlike many competitors, Inari emphasizes a scientific approach to genetic enhancement, ensuring that their products are based on deep genetic insights. The goal of Inari is to support farmers and agricultural businesses by delivering innovative solutions that improve crop productivity and sustainability.
