UK-based crop biostimulant venture SugaROx has secured a £2.5 million investment from Florida-based The Mosaic Company as part of its ongoing Series A funding round.

The investment will strengthen its path to commercialisation of a first-in-class crop biostimulant, which has supported more reliable field performance of crops including wheat and barley.

With the funding, the University of Oxford spin-out will expand R&D and significantly increase its field trials across key markets. It is targeting a UK product launch in 2027-2028 and EU and US expansion in 2028-2030.
