Transforming Agriculture Through Science

At V-Gro, Research and Development (R&D) is the backbone of our mission to advance agriculture with
innovative, sustainable, and impactful solutions. By combining cutting-edge science with real-world farming needs, we address the global challenges of food security, climate change, and agricultural productivity. Our R&D efforts aim to empower farmers, protect crops, and ensure a resilient agricultural ecosystem.

The Importance of R&D in Agriculture
With a growing global population and increasing environmental challenges, the role of R&D in agriculture is more critical than ever. By 2050, food production needs to increase by 70% to meet the demand of over 9 billion people. Pakistan, where agriculture supports 65% of the population, faces unique challenges such as pest infestations, soil degradation, and unpredictable climate conditions. V Gro’s R&D division tackles these issues head-on with innovative solutions tailored to local and global needs.

Key Areas of Research

SproutGroup

o  GMO Cotton Innovation: In partnership with CEMB, we developed Pakistan’s first GMO cotton varieties (CKC-1 and CKC-3), offering pink bollworm resistance and herbicide tolerance for improved productivity.
