24 July 2024 - 6:00PM
Nuseed® Nutritional US Inc., the seed technologies platform of
Nufarm Limited (ASX: NUF), is partnering with KD Nutra, a division
of The KD Pharma Group, to expand offerings of plant-based
long-chain omega-3 ingredients. This partnership allows both
companies to leverage their expertise to offer the market new
sources of omega-3 beyond marine sources and tap into the rapidly
growing demand for alternatives.
Nufarm is a global leader in developing agricultural solutions
to environmental challenges. Our Omega-3 Canola is the world’s
first plant-based source of total omega-3 nutrition. Aquaterra® and
Nutriterra® are derived from the seed oil and provide alternatives
to marine-sourced omega-3 ingredients while delivering all the
health benefits that come with this science-backed nutrient.
“Our combined technologies and capabilities have great potential
for human health,” said Brent Zacharias, Nufarm, Group Executive
for Seed Technologies. “KD Nutra’s technical expertise and
commitment to quality can deliver our plant-based innovations to a
broader audience.”
“We’re excited to partner with Nufarm to expand our plant-based
omega-3 offerings,” said Kimberly Smith, CEO of KD Nutra. “Nufarm’s
innovation in plant-based nutrition together with KD Nutra’s
technology platform and leadership in omega-3 will allow us to
bring unique and renewable solutions to the industry.”
This research and development partnership will increase access
to omega-3 nutrition for the long-term health of people and the
planet.
