We’ve tamed wild pongamia into a high-value crop 

The best library of pongamia genetics meets superior horticultural practices and low-cost mechanized harvesting.

Reliably superior pongamia trees

  1. Vetted hundreds of pongamia cultivars under genomic and field evaluation across different sites around the world

  2. Selected elite cultivars based on 15 years of trials for maximal oil yield and hardiness in diverse conditions

  3. Propagate highest performers in state-of-the-art nursery facilities to precise, proprietary specifications that (a) allow for low maintenance costs once planted, and (b) enable mechanized harvesting

  4. Plant in a precise configuration for maximal cross-pollination, and manage with specific nutrients to ensure consistently high flowering and yields
