Total Biotecnologia, founded in 2005 in Curitiba’s industrial district, Paraná, produces biotechnological and natural agricultural products with a 4.5-million-liter industrial plant.
Aqua invests $30 million in Total Biotechnologia, a Brazil-based biologicals company. The move follows Aqua’s decision to establish its own firm amid fierce competition in Brazil’s biologicals sector, before acquiring a stake in Total Biotechnologia. Managing partner Sebastian Popik highlights market rivalry as the key driver behind the investment strategy.
Aqua Capital merges Brazil’s **Total Biotecnologia** and **Biotrop** to form a new platform specializing in biological products for crop fertility, nutrition, and protection. Total Biotecnologia focuses on high-tech biological solutions for soil fertility. The combined entity aims to expand production and trading of agricultural biologicals.
