Biotalys has entered a collaboration with US-based AgroFresh Solutions to develop and commercialize its biocontrols for post-harvest use, targeting a $ ~300m global market. AgroFresh is a global leader in the post-harvest niche and featured $ 162m revenues at the time of its takeover by private equity Paine Schwartz in 2023, having grown significantly from ~300 to ~700 employees since then. We see the collaboration as highly complementary to Biotalys' pre-harvest efforts as it unlocks access to ...
In FY24, Biotalys optimized its capital resources, achieving a significant reduction in operating expenses while strengthening its balance sheet through a successful private placement. Looking ahead, they plan to further advance their product portfolio and develop novel modes of action, as well as expand options to scale and produce their biobased solutions. So we saw in FY24 good financial management - runway reaching into May-26 - but focus could be on some operational hiccups.
Biotalys announced strong results from field trials of its second biofungicide BioFun-6, which targets Botrytis and powdery mildew in fruits and vegetables. The trials showed BioFun-6 effectively controlled fungi compared to synthetic and biological solutions at lower dosage rates than Evoca. While further field trials still need to be conducted before a regulatory filing, we estimate BioFun-6 could reach the market by the end of the decade and reach a significant share of the today € 1.2bn mark...
