Every major crop input company now has a biologicals strategy. The question is how are they progressing and what specifically are they doing? I just published an updated report that tracks the biologicals and specialty nutrition strategies, revenues, acquisitions, partnerships, pipelines, and commercial progress of 16 companies across crop protection, fertilizer, and the independent biologicals landscape. Crop protection: Corteva, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta, FMC, and UPL. Fertilizer: Yara, Mosaic, Nutrien, and ICL. New to this edition are profiles on six scaled independent players that rarely get this level of coverage: Rovensa Next, BioFirst Group (formerly Biobest), Verdesian Life Sciences, Koppert, Acadian Plant Health, and DE SANGOSSE. A few things you'll find inside: Mosaic's Biosciences business doubled revenue to $68 million in 2025, hit EBITDA positive in 2025, and is targeting $200 million in EBITDA by 2030. How they're applying the MicroEssentials playbook to biologicals, and where their nitrogen fixation go-to-market approach may get challenged. Corteva posted $519 million in biological revenue in 2025. What the planned Corteva split means for the biologicals portfolio, and why the NEXTA launch through Pioneer dealers is an important initiative. BASF acquired AgBiTech in early 2026, their first meaningful bio acquisition since Becker Underwood in 2012. The report looks at why NPV-based bioinsecticides are a fit, and what the coming Ag Solutions IPO means for their biologicals investment appetite. Nutrien's proprietary crop nutrition and biostimulant gross margins are approaching $500 million, with 70% of future proprietary product growth expected from biologicals and nutritionals. The report also includes side-by-side comparison snapshots across segments, the largest bio-based and specialty acquisitions to date, an acquisition timeline since 2010, the key market drivers behind the growth of this segment and images illustrating acquisitions and partnerships, along with future considerations for the companies. @UpstreamAg
