About Solynta

Why we do it

Through our Hybrid Potato Breeding Technology, we strive to enhance the livelihood of potato producers around the globe.

We will drive sustainable improvements in world food security via the use of clean true potato seed instead of contaminated seed tubers and the development of new potato varieties with disease resistances.

We believe in a world where there is nutrition for all.

How we do it

We developed a (non GMO) hybrid breeding technology platform based on the selective cross-pollination of male and female potato flowers. This ensures the generation of offspring with identical and predictable characteristics, embodying a suite of desirable traits, such as disease resistance and climate change resilience. This approach aims to ensure high, robust yield while using fewer pesticides and land.

What we do

We offer true potato seeds as a result of our ongoing commitment to research and development, focusing on creating new potato varieties tailored to meet the specific needs of consumers, farmers, and the industry. Developed in a remarkably short timeframe, true seeds are clean, disease-free, and highly scalable, enabling significant production from a small amount. They offer a long shelf life and availability throughout the year. Requiring less input for the same yield, and due to their ease (less volume) and cost-effectiveness in distribution over long distances, they are an ideal choice for sustainable agriculture as well

Advantages of hybrid breeding

Our non-GMO breeding technology makes breeding a new variety much faster than ever before. Hybrid breeding delivers a predictable and continuous flow of improved products, while historically traditional potato breeding has made limited advancement. Our targeted breeding technology allows us to cross-breed for new varieties that have enhanced pest and disease resistances and that are adapted to harsher climates, making potatoes a suitable crop for multiple climates zones. Other characteristics, such as taste, color, texture, cooking time and more can be quickly adjusted to meet changing consumer demands.

Our contribution to the UN
Sustainable Development Goals

Solynta’s mission underlines the United Nations Development Program Sustainable Development Goals and commits to positively contribute to today’s global challenges and sustainable growing practices.

1. No poverty

Overall, the use of hybrid true potato seed can contribute to poverty reduction by increasing agricultural productivity, reducing costs, and promoting diversification, all of which can help to increase the income and resilience of smallholder farmers.

2. Zero Hunger

Solynta’s mission says it all: we use our hybrid breeding technology to create global solutions for food and nutritional insecurity. With Solynta’s hybrid technology, growers will achieve higher yields that can nourish their communities. Reducing hunger starts with quality seed.

12. Responsible Consumption and Production

Hybrid potatoes are bred to be more productive, adapted to local conditions and disease-resistant. With hybrid potatoes, potato growers can produce more food with fewer resources, enabling a sustainable potato production with a reliable and consistent source of food for their communities.
