About Solynta

Why we do it

Our mission is to provide hybrid potato innovations to enhance the livelihood of producers around the globe which will drive sustainable improvements in world food security.

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

How we do it

We aim to have a positive impact on the growing need for robust, new potato varieties among farmers all over the world. Therefore, we have invented a new way of breeding new potato varieties, based on true potato seed. Our ground breaking innovation will ensure year-round availability of clean, quality potato starting material that will enable farmers around to world to successfully grow delicious, nutritious potatoes.

What we do

Solynta is the first to successfully breed hybrid potatoes from true seeds. Our innovative hybrid potato breeding technology creates sustainable solutions for global challenges. By collaborating with partners worldwide and applying our ground breaking technology we create long-lasting impact on the global food supply. We envision a future where hybrid potatoes are widely used.

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.

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.

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.

Potatoes are low in calories, but rich in nutrients, making them an excellent source of nutrition for populations worldwide. Solynta’s technology makes high quality true potato seeds that result in nutritious potatoes. These seeds are accessible to even the most remote locations.

Solynta is committed to providing the highest quality genetics and seed to farmers around the world. When growers have access to more reliable starting material, their yields and agricultural businesses will prosper.

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.

Hybrid potatoes can be developed to be more tolerant to drought, heat stress and other climate change related stressors, which can help farmers to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In addition, hybrid potatoes can be developed to require less water and fertilizer, which can help to reduce the environmental impact of potato production and promote more sustainable land use practices.

Traditional potato production practices can contribute to soil erosion and chemicals and nutrients runoff that can have negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. With new robust hybrid potatoes, growers require less fertilizer and water, reducing the environmental impact of potato production and protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Hybrid potatoes require fewer resources and are more resistant to pests and diseases. This way, we can promote more sustainable and resilient land use practices that can protect soil health and promote biodiversity. Sustainable potato production practices can help to reduce the need for agricultural chemicals and can have a positive impact on pollinators and other wildlife.
