Kan Biosys, a globally recognised Indian agri-biotech company, launched two major product lines aimed at transforming Indian agriculture: ROFA – an imported series of speciality fertilisers developed in partnership with De Sangosse, France, and a new range of Neem-based solutions, researched and created by Kan Biosys in India.

The program began with Saraswati Vandana and the Indian National Anthem, followed by a heartwarming appearance by Biojeet™, Kan Biosys’ mascot, accompanied by children dressed as crops a symbolic presentation of the future of farming.

ROFA – Global Expertise for Indian Fields

Kan Biosys unveiled 12 high-performance water-soluble fertilizers under the ROFA (Real Optimised Fertilizer Application) brand. These imported products, developed in collaboration with De Sangosse, France, are specially formulated to deliver precision nutrition across a variety of climatic conditions and cropping systems.

Ms. Sandeepa Kanitkar, Managing Director of Kan Biosys and President of BASAI, shared:

″While ROFA means Real Optimised Fertilizer Application, to me, ‘R’ stands for Respect for our farmers. With ROFA, we bring the best of French technology to Indian soil.″

Shri B.T. Gore (Dalimb Ratna), Founder & CEO of Farm DSS Agritech Pvt. Ltd., said:

″ROFA is a game-changer in nutrient delivery, especially through foliar applications. It brings precision and efficiency together.″

Dr. Sujoy Saha, Principal Scientist, ICAR–NRC Grapes, added:

″When it comes to microbial solutions and agri-innovation, Kan Biosys always leads the conversation. These ROFA products are trusted worldwide, and Indian farmers must benefit from them too.″

Neem-Based Innovations – Indian Wisdom, Scientific Strength

Complementing the ROFA launch, Kan Biosys also introduced three advanced neem-based products, developed in-house using traditional Indian knowledge and cutting-edge research. These residue-free solutions aim to reduce chemical load in farming while promoting plant health and safety. 

Padma Shri Rahibai Soma Popere, Seed Conservationist, said:

″I may not be formally educated, but I know this: if you protect the soil, it will protect you. These neem-based products are the right step toward chemical-free farming.″
