Company Description
MustGrow Biologics Corp. (OTCQB: MGROF; TSXV: MGRO) is a publicly traded agricultural biotechnology company focused on biological and regenerative agriculture solutions designed to support sustainable farming. According to the company, its proprietary and third-party product lines provide eco-friendly alternatives to restricted or banned synthetic chemicals and fertilizers, with a particular emphasis on crop nutrition, soil health, and organic inputs.
MustGrow describes itself as a fully integrated provider, combining product development, intellectual property, and commercial distribution. In North America, the company offers a portfolio of third-party crop nutrition solutions that includes micronutrients, nitrogen stabilizers, biostimulants, adjuvants, and foliar products. These third-party products are distributed through MustGrow’s Canadian sales and distribution division, NexusBioAg, and are positioned to work alongside MustGrow’s own proprietary technologies.
Mustard-Derived Proprietary Technologies
A core element of MustGrow’s business is its mustard-derived proprietary products and technologies, which the company states are developed into organic biocontrol and biofertility products. These products are intended to help replace banned or restricted synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. MustGrow highlights two key mustard-based product platforms:
- TerraSante™ – an organic, mustard-derived biofertility product that the company describes as a soluble, mixable biofertilizer containing plant proteins and carbohydrates to feed soil and soil microbes. MustGrow reports that TerraSante™ focuses on crop yields, soil and soil microbiome health, and nutrient and water use efficiencies. The product is registered and approved for sale in several U.S. states under Organic OMRI Listed certification and California’s Organic Input Material Program.
- TerraMG™ – a mustard-based biopesticide product candidate for which MustGrow is working through registration processes in Canada and the United States. The company has generated large-scale field data in Canada, including trials through its BioAdvantage Trial program via NexusBioAg, particularly targeting clubroot disease affecting canola acres.
MustGrow states that its mustard plant-based technologies are applied with the intention of improving soil health and the surrounding ecological environment. The company also notes that TerraSante™ has been used in large-scale commercial potato fields in Washington State and Idaho, with reported improvements in yield, size, and quality, as well as soil health when used within established grower programs.
North American Distribution and NexusBioAg
Through NexusBioAg, MustGrow operates a Canadian sales and distribution division focused on crop input products. The company indicates that acquiring NexusBioAg allowed it to transition into a fully integrated supplier that supplements its proprietary technologies with third-party products. NexusBioAg serves as a ready-made sales channel for MustGrow’s mustard-derived technologies in Canada and distributes products such as micronutrients, nitrogen stabilizers, biostimulants, adjuvants, foliar products, and other crop nutrition solutions.
MustGrow also reports entering into distribution agreements under NexusBioAg, such as a Canadian distribution agreement with Phospholutions Inc. for the RhizoSorb® phosphorus efficiency product. Under this agreement, MustGrow sells RhizoSorb® through NexusBioAg, expanding its portfolio of nutrient efficiency and crop nutrition offerings.
International Collaborations and Commercialization Strategy
Outside of North America, MustGrow states that it is focused on collaborating with agriculture companies to commercialize its wholly owned proprietary mustard-derived products and technologies. The company highlights a commercial license agreement with Bayer AG covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for the TerraMG™ platform. MustGrow reports ongoing registration work and resource allocation by Bayer under this agreement, with milestone-based payments anticipated as regulatory progress is achieved.
Through these collaborations, MustGrow positions its technologies as organic biocontrol and biofertility solutions that can be integrated into global agricultural systems, particularly where synthetic chemicals face restrictions or regulatory pressure.
Intellectual Property and Technology Portfolio
MustGrow emphasizes its intellectual property portfolio as a key asset. Across its recent disclosures, the company references approximately 109–112 patents that are issued and pending, covering its proprietary products and technologies. MustGrow states that it is dedicated to driving shareholder value through the commercialization and expansion of this IP portfolio, alongside the sales and distribution of its proprietary and third-party product lines through NexusBioAg.
This patent portfolio supports the company’s mustard-derived biocontrol and biofertility platforms, as well as its broader biological and regenerative agriculture solutions. By combining patents with commercial channels, MustGrow seeks to position its technologies within both specialty and broad-acre crop markets.
Financial and Capital Structure Context
MustGrow reports that it generates revenue from its Canadian sales and distribution business and from sales of TerraSante™ biofertility product in the United States. The company has highlighted periods of revenue growth and gross profit margin improvements associated with TerraSante™ sales and higher-margin product sales through NexusBioAg. It has also disclosed the use of non-brokered private placements under the listed issuer financing exemption, a line of credit with a major Canadian bank guaranteed by Export Development Canada, and equity-based incentive grants such as restricted share units and deferred share units.
In multiple news releases, MustGrow notes that it has tens of millions of common shares issued and outstanding and that it trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MGRO, on the OTCQB under MGROF, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under 0C0. These disclosures illustrate an ongoing focus on capital raising, inventory production for TerraSante™, and working capital support for NexusBioAg.
Corporate Governance and Shareholder Engagement
MustGrow provides information on its corporate governance and shareholder engagement through annual meeting results and equity incentive plans. The company has reported the election of directors at its annual shareholder meetings, reappointment of auditors, and shareholder approval of its omnibus equity incentive plan, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. It also communicates with investors via shareholder letters, investor webcasts, and news releases detailing operational progress and financing activities.
Position Within Biological and Regenerative Agriculture
Within the broader agricultural sector, MustGrow positions itself in the biological and regenerative agriculture niche, emphasizing organic, plant-based technologies and crop nutrition products that aim to support sustainable farming practices. The company’s focus on mustard-derived biocontrol and biofertility products, soil microbiome health, and nutrient and water use efficiency aligns with its stated goal of providing eco-friendly alternatives to restricted or banned synthetic inputs.
By combining proprietary mustard-based technologies, third-party crop nutrition products, a dedicated Canadian distribution platform, and international collaborations, MustGrow presents a business model centered on biological crop inputs and regenerative agriculture solutions for farmers in North America and selected international regions.
