By aligning the regenerative programme with its full UK wheat requirement, the company aims to de-risk the transition for farmers while securing a more sustainable and stable supply of a key raw material for its European manufacturing network.
The arrangement will initially use Bunge’s oilseed-processing capabilities as BASF prepares to launch InVigor Gold in the US in 2027.
The initiative combines artificial intelligence, multiplex genome editing, precision breeding, and automated phenotyping to develop resilient corn traits that can withstand severe climate conditions while maximizing yield potential and input efficiency.
The facility employs clean-label oilseed processing technology to operate as the world’s first agro-industrial plant with an end-to-end hydrocarbon-free extraction process from raw bean to finished ingredient.
Engineered for high-throughput oilseed preparation plants, the new OLFC combines extended roll service life, reduced structural vibration, and automated operation to boost plant yield, lower energy consumption, and improve long-term uptime.
