INVESTMENT CASE

 

SIGNIFICANT MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

High demand for sustainable products that can compete with conventional products on ease-of-use, efficacy, safety, cost and reliability.

  • Ongoing pressure on the conventional pesticides market, which is subject to increased scrutiny and regulatory pressures contributing to significant disruption.

  • Increasing time and cost of bringing new conventional chemical products to market: 10-12 years and around $300 million.

  • Significantly lower costs of bringing biopesticides to market – around $25 million.

  • Major product withdrawals across all segments of the conventional crop protection industry are having a significant impact on growers leaving them with lower yields and declining productivity.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY

Sustaine® encapsulation technology is free from plastics/polymers and facilitates phased release over multiple hydration events.

  • Ownership of the patents behind the Sustaine encapsulation technology.

  • Proven efficacy with strong commercial validation by farmers and our partners.

  • Scope to exploit the core technologies beyond existing markets and products.

  • Eden’s products serve as sustainable alternatives to conventional chemicals without limitations such as residue limits, pest resistance, long pre-harvest intervals and field re-entry periods or increasing restrictions on use such as the proposed microplastics legislation.
