RumaFeed

Leading the Green Revolution in Solanaceae plants​

Changing the Game for Farmers, Seed, and Feed Suppliers

Solanaceae plants represent a significant portion of the world’s food consumption

Solanaceae plants (primarily potato, tomato, eggplant  and capsicum) are grown annually on ~30M hectares, sold globally for ~ USD 354 billion and account for a significant portion of the world’s food.

WHAT WE DO

Using advance bioscience & technology RumaFeed will create a paradigm shift in Solanaceae farming productivity and profitability whilst reducing farming waste

The 1st step

RumaFeed successfully  eliminated the toxic substance from potato plants thus enabling haulm utilization, creating a whole new revenue stream, and significantly contributing to resolving the food & feed crisis

POTATO GREEN REVOLUTION

Were it not for its high Glycoalkaloid (toxic) content, potato haulm would serve as a great food & feed source

Inputs

Herbicides used for haulm destruction
Freshwater & fertilizer waste

Carbon footprint
nearly 18M Ha destroyed using herbicides or flaming
~30% more biomass for the same amounts
~4M mT CO2 equivalent saved

outputs

Increased output due to commercial utilization of potato haulm
Saving losses caused by tuber greening
130M mT
Infield – ~10% Post-harvest – ~3% Household – ~10%

helping mitigate the global food & feed crisis

Global food & feed demand will continue to increase due to population growth and rising per capita food consumption

While food & feed demands continue
to increase, the amount of arable land around the world is decreasing

Growing feed demand and shrinking croplands require increased efficiency in food & feed production

Rumafeed potato haulm is a highly nutritious feed source with superior digestibility & high protein levels

Glycoalkaloids biosynthesis

Treated lines have nearly zero Glycoalkaloids

No Data Found

In-vitro digestibility

Superior results for treated potato haulm

Lambs in-vivo digestibility

No toxicological clinical signs were observed

Digestibility and gross energy increased

N retention was nearly twice

Feed (silage) optimization

LGP silage Digestibility is better than Alfalfa silage

Protein content is similar to Alfalfa silage

LGP is a good source for High quality Silage

USAGE OF THE EXISTING POTATO HAULM CAN LEAD TO

Potato haulm can add ~$600 of net profit per Hectare
Which equates to ~75% of grower’s profit
