Minagro

Minagro is an agtech company founded in 2019 and based in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, that specializes in developing high-quality, bio-based ingredients for the crop care industry. The company leverages green and specialty chemistry to create safer, more sustainable alternatives to traditional formulation ingredients. Their proprietary technology portfolio includes in-can preservatives, adjuvants, solvents, and bio-stimulant actives, which are designed to improve the performance of crop protection and nutrition inputs while reducing their overall environmental impact. Minagro operates research laboratories to innovate in green chemistry and partners with agrochemical companies to integrate these sustainable solutions into their product lines.

The company's solutions are vital to agrochemical manufacturers seeking to balance high performance with environmental responsibility. By providing ingredients derived from sustainable raw materials, such as sugar cane bagasse and essential oils, Minagro helps its clients navigate increasing environmental regulations and consumer demand for greener agricultural practices. Minagro has successfully scaled its operations through independent financing, raising €1.2M in 2023 to accelerate the development and commercialization of its portfolio. Their work serves both conventional aqueous formulations and bio-based applications, supporting a shift toward more environmentally friendly agriculture across the industry.
