Fiberban™

Modern agriculture

Modern agriculture faces major challenges: soil conservation, limiting chemical pesticides, protection against pathogens and recycling agricultural waste. In this context, the Fiberban™ process offers an innovative and sustainable solution capable of transforming agricultural residues into high value-added products.

Fertilisation

Through the controlled decomposition of banana stems, Fiberban™ produces a high-performance natural fertiliser with bactericidal activity against critical pathogens such as Ralstonia solanacearum. This bio-based material combines fertilisation, crop protection and environmental friendliness, offering farmers a natural alternative to traditional chemicals.

Potential turnover in the agriculture sector

The global market for biopesticides and natural fertilisers is estimated at ≈ USD 5 billion in 2025.

Potential turnover in 2025: 2% of $5 billion = $100 million.

Even with a modest penetration of 2%, Fiberban can generate significant revenue, while paving the way for licences, industrial partnerships and collaborations with agricultural cooperatives.

This market includes products intended for:

Soil fertilisation with natural and bio-based fertilisers.
Crop protection against pathogens and bacteria, such as Ralstonia solanacearum.
Improving soil health and reducing the use of synthetic chemicals.

Annual growth (CAGR): ≈ 8%, driven by:

Growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.
Regulations aimed at limiting the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers.
The adoption of bio-based solutions in commercial and market gardening.

Estimated market in 2030: ≈ $7.3 billion
