About us
We are OlsAro Crop Biotech AB, a Swedish innovative agtech startup dedicated to developing solutions that empower agriculture to combat the challenges posed by climate change. Our initial focus lies in tackling salinity, a significant abiotic stressor impacting plant growth globally. Considering that 20% of the world's arable land and up to 50% of irrigated cultivatable land grapple with salinity-related cultivation challenges, the need and market potential is extensive. With a first focus on wheat OlsAro has also commenced work on additional traits such as heat tolerance and nitrogen use efficiency to further enhance crop resilience. OlsAro have recently successfully closed a seed funding round enabling enhanced efforts both commercially as well as technologically, aiming for food system resilience for future generations.
