In banana, where conventional breeding is impossible, Tropic's platform achieves editing efficiencies that make precision trait development practical at scale. The resulting products, including non-browning, extended shelf life, and disease-resistant varieties, address major unmet needs for growers and integrated fruit companies across Latin America and Asia. The company is now in commercial launch, with its first banana product in market and a pipeline of additional traits entering field trials and pre-launch.

Beyond banana, the same technologies are being applied to rice through established seed partnerships, and licensing of its GEiGS® platform to commercial partners is enabling next generation innovation across a huge variety of crops and livestock.

Tropic was founded in 2016 in Norwich, UK, and is led by Gilad Gershon (CEO).
