We were delighted that a large crowd of distinguished guests visited us in Kilkenny on April 24th 2019, to meet the Beotanics team as part of the announcement of our expansion plans.

European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Phil Hogan commenting on the €1 million expansion investment said: “Beotanics is now a key Irish player on the international stage in discovering new ways to feed the planet, improve human health, balance resources, enhance biodiversity and reduce the environmental impact of crop production. It is a true example of a firm which is acting local and thinking global and by doing so providing locally innovative, viable and sustainable Rural Development alternatives. It is growing the Irish rural economy on the strength of Irish environmental factors”.

“Your work showcases Ireland and Europe as a leading global innovator in agri-food technology and I know that you will continue to deliver innovative, sustainable food solutions that meet the increasing demands of global consumers” Commissioner Phil Hogan.

CEO Pat FitzGerald commented “We believe that we can be one of Europe’s leading plant science companies providing a range of crop varieties to the global market in the coming years. Our approach is based on good science, our environment and commitment to sustainable production”.

Minister of State Andrew Doyle said “This expansion is a real milestone for Beotanics and the region. It shows how Irish innovation in agri-food can compete globally while staying rooted in sustainability and local communities”.
