Funding will triple
production for bioactive carbon-based fertilizers
BELLINGHAM, Wash.,
July 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tidal
Grow® AgriScience, a division
of Tidal Vision Products Inc., has been awarded
a Fertilizer Production Expansion Program (FPEP) grant by the USDA.
This funding significantly increases production of the popular
seafood hydrolysate liquid fertilizers Oceanic® and
SeaPhos®. Tidal Grow AgriScience manufactures novel
plant nutrition and crop protection solutions. With this grant, a
new facility breaks ground in Texas and expands production in Washington, tripling the capacity of these
bioactive carbon-based fertilizers and accelerating the adoption of
regenerative agriculture solutions.
This national investment in climate-smart technologies supports
farmers substantially as demand surges for resilient, effective,
and domestically manufactured fertilizers. The USDA's endorsement
of Tidal Grow AgriScience underscores its commitment to
advancing agriculture by harnessing the power of bioactive
nutrition solutions that are both circular and scalable.
"Amidst continued global conflict and disrupted supply chains,
American growers need novel regenerative solutions that improve
soil and plant health to achieve higher yields," said
Norm Davy, CCO at Tidal Grow AgriScience. "Made by up-cycling
waste from the seafood industry, our plant nutrition and crop
protection products offer agronomists and growers creative
solutions
to solve some of agriculture's greatest
challenges."
"This grant enables us to triple
supply for growers nationwide and supports
domestic production with next generation technologies," said
Tom Robeson, VP of manufacturing at
Tidal Grow AgriScience. "Our proprietary cold-processed,
carbon-based fertilizers improve nutrient uptake and build soil
health with marine-based omega lipids, amino-acid nitrogen, and
critical soluble nutrients like phosphorus and calcium."
Tidal Grow AgriScience will immediately begin constructing the new facility
in Orange, Texas, to rapidly increase the production and
availability of bioactive fertilizers. The manufacturing locations
in Texas and Washington were strategically chosen to align
with its supply chain for efficient distribution—feeding America's
crop production.
Due to growing market demand for the technologies offered by
Tidal Grow AgriScience, Tidal Vision plans to invest over
$10 million in capital growth. This
additional investment will scale manufacturing for the entire
portfolio of advanced agricultural products and introduce novel
technologies to the market within three to five years.
