Tropic Biosciences

Tropic (formerly Tropic Biosciences) is a UK-based agricultural biotechnology company that uses cutting-edge gene editing techniques to develop high-performance varieties of tropical commodity crops. Their proprietary GEiGS® (Gene Editing induced Gene Silencing) platform combines the precision of gene editing with the versatility of gene silencing (RNAi). The company focuses on improving crop resistance to critical diseases, reducing pesticide reliance, and improving supply chain sustainability — primarily for banana, coffee, and rice growers across the tropics.
