About Inari Agriculture

Inari Agriculture focuses on improving crop performance through advanced genetic research. The company uses CRISPR technology to make precise modifications to plant DNA, enhancing traits that lead to better yields and resilience.

Unlike many competitors, Inari emphasizes a scientific approach to genetic enhancement, ensuring that their products are based on deep genetic insights.
