E Green Global produces potato microtubers via in‑vitro micropropagation inside sterile ‘plant factories,’ creating ~1 gram seed potatoes in about three months from tissue culture. The company supplies these lab-grown, virus‑free microtubers to farmers through contract‑farming and joint cultivation arrangements, often providing microtubers as part of an investment deal with partner growers. Its method removes the need for greenhouses, enables year‑round harvesting, shortens propagation cycles (two years versus six or more), reduces water and chemical inputs, and cuts logistics costs due to the microtubers’ small size. The firm emphasizes quality assurance and disease‑free seed as a path to improving yields in markets with low clean‑seed availability. E Green Global plans to replicate the approach for other crops but cites capital, time, and the need for market validation as key challenges. Financially, the Seoul‑based startup recently closed a $15 million Series B led by development and impact investors as it scales production and commercialization.
