QUINVITA has the ambition to become one of the world leaders in the supply of services and products towards feedstock producers of novel industrial crops. The rapid approach of "peak oil" and as a result of that the need for alternative biomaterials to feed different industrial production processes has given rise to a strongly renewed interest in novel industrial crops and alternative biomaterials. The world has realized that it needs to manage the balance between the use of raw materials as a food source and as a feedstock for industrial processes. This is one of the key drivers towards exploring different novel crops. One of the key challenges of the novel industrial crops is the limited level of domestication these crops have reached in addition to the need for tailor made agronomy and processing technology when these crops need to be grown on an industrial scale.

QUINVITA was formed in 2010 and has a professional history in the former D1 Oils Science and Technology Research and Business Development efforts. The former management of these D1 efforts took the Breeding and Cultivar Development and Agronomy Knowledge activities into this new venture end of 2010.

Alongside the existing R&D efforts in these knowledge platforms, QUINVITA also manages the relationships of a select group of former D1 Oils customers, who have valued the knowledge the company has developed around the novel industrial crop Jatropha curcas through the subscription to a membership to the value clubs created by QUINVITA around its knowledge platforms.

QUINVITA is also the exclusive distributor of the technology developed and owned by D1 Oils to extract valuable Jatropha kernel meal from Jatropha grains. It will market and distribute this technology to Jatropha feedstock producers who want to add value to the Jatropha production chain.

Our company believes that the achievements we have demonstrated in Jatropha curcas can be the key foundation to expand our activities and expertise basis in other novel industrial crops that need domestication and professionalization.
