PI Industries Partners with C-CAMP to Advance Sustainable Agri-Tech

PI Industries Ltd (PI) has entered into a strategic collaboration with the Centre for Cellular And Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP), an initiative under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. This partnership aims to advance sustainable, nature-driven agricultural solutions, reinforcing India’s position as a leader in global agri-tech innovation.

Details of the Agreement

As part of the agreement, C-CAMP has exclusively transferred two groundbreaking biocontrol technologies, AphidControl and XanthoControl, to PI. These eco-friendly solutions offer an innovative approach to pest and disease management, reducing dependence on traditional chemical pesticides.

• AphidControl is a botanical insecticide specifically designed to combat aphids, which can cause yield losses of up to 60% across various crops. By providing farmers with an effective and sustainable alternative, this technology has the potential to benefit over 25 million farmers.
• XanthoControl is a biocontrol agent targeting the Xanthomonas species, a pathogen responsible for severe crop diseases leading to yield losses of up to 80%. This solution is expected to support over 45 million farmers in mitigating crop damage and improving agricultural productivity.

Expanding PI’s Biological Portfolio

This partnership aligns with PI’s broader vision of expanding its presence in the biological solutions sector. Over the past two years, the company’s biological product segment has witnessed a robust 45% revenue growth. The addition of C-CAMP’s cutting-edge technologies further strengthens PI’s integrated approach to sustainable agriculture.

Mayank Singhal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, PI Industries Ltd, said, “As the world confronts the dual challenges of climate change and food security, biological solutions have transitioned from being an option to a necessity. Through our collaboration with C-CAMP, we are leveraging cutting-edge science to develop sustainable, nature-driven solutions that not only mitigate immediate agricultural threats but also pave the way for a more resilient and eco-friendly farming ecosystem. This partnership reinforces our commitment to innovation and sustainability while taking India’s scientific prowess to the global stage.”
