Our Mission
To provide solutions that enable agricultural products to flourish in a rapidly changing global climate.

Farmers have always sought crops that produce maximal yields and profits, but they face increasing environmental stress from our changing climate. PPI’s key ag-biotechnologies enable seeds that achieve higher and more consistent crop yields through improved heat and drought tolerance and nutrient use efficiency while reducing water requirements.

Our discovery program is based on the fact that small changes in plant metabolism can have profound positive impacts. Through rigorous scientific testing in the lab and field, our patented technologies deliver safe and proven native plant traits that maximize crop performance and productivity.

Our technology will ensure that global food supplies meet rising demands, even under strengthening environmental stressors.

Performance Plants Inc. (PPI) is a Canadian, privately owned and internationally recognized agricultural biotechnology developer with a series of powerful, validated ‘game-changing’ technologies that can be readily applied to major staple crops for significant improvement of their productivity.  

Our Kingston, Ontario-based R&D lab conducts gene discovery, trait development and commercialization of technologies for seeds to protect and enhance yields.  Our technology will allow farmers around the world to adapt to climate change by reducing the need for irrigation and improving heat tolerance, while still increasing yields to feed a growing population. Furthermore, our technology can also contribute to climate change mitigation by increasing biomass yields for non-food biofuel crops.  

PPI does not introduce any foreign genes into our climate-ready products - we regulate the plant's own genes to increase or decrease expression of those responsible for key traits.
