Euglena announced that it will start to utilize Euglena powdering the agri-business field because of its low environmental impact and high value-added.

The company’s agri-tech business has two pillars: animal feed and crop fertilizers. The company has obtained various data showing that the addition of Euglena activates the function of lactic acid bacteria, and it intends to develop products that take advantage of this functionality. While other materials are known to have similar effects, the company says that there are advantages unique to Euglena, such as the fact that paramylon, a component abundantly contained in Euglena acts to regulate the immune system.

In fertilizers, it has been found that the use of Euglena improves crop yields and the duration of freshness after harvest, and the company plans to market products that take advantage of these functions. In addition to Euglena, the company hopes to use a variety of unused biomass as a raw material, and is continuing to develop the technology to achieve this goal.
