Tropic

Tropic Biosciences is an agricultural biotechnology company developing gene-edited varieties of tropical crops, including banana, coffee, and rice, with a focus on disease resistance, climate resilience, and yield improvement.

Its proprietary platform combines gene editing with RNA interference to redirect a plant's natural silencing mechanisms without introducing foreign DNA, enabling non-GMO classification in several markets.

The platform is licensed to major agricultural companies including BASF, Corteva, and Syngenta for trait development across additional crop species.
