AGT Soileos, a limited partnership between Lucent Bio and AGT Foods, proudly announces the grand opening of its inaugural sustainable fertilizer production facility, scheduled for October 11.


AGT Soileos is a partnership built on the synergy between Lucent Bio's novel advancements in sustainable crop nutrition, and AGT Foods' decades-long expertise in pulse and staple crop processing, supported by the Protein Industries Canada Supercluster devoted to nurturing plant-based innovation in the Canadian prairies.


At the Rosetown production facility, AGT Soileos manufactures its flagship product, Soileos, a suite of novel crop nutrition products delivering an environmentally responsible climate-positive and efficient fertilizer solution. These innovative products are made by upcycling agricultural co-products like pea, lentil, and oat hulls into micronutrient fertilizers. Soileos maximizes nutrient delivery for effective returns to farmers and sustained resource management.


The newly refurbished manufacturing facility, once a grain processing plant owned by AGT Foods, exemplifies AGT Soileos' commitment to innovative and sustainable solutions. By embracing circular bio-based principles, AGT Soileos connects sustainable agriculture and food production, promoting sustainability throughout local supply chains.


“By creating a space where innovative technologies meet circular economy principles, AGT Soileos is poised to shape a future where agriculture thrives without compromising ecological integrity,” says Jason McNamee, General Manager of AGT Soileos.


“As we celebrate the grand opening of our manufacturing facility, attendees will have the unique opportunity to explore the transformative potential of Soileos and its role in advancing sustainable farming practices worldwide.”


Commenting on the grand opening, Murad Al Katib, President, and CEO of AGT Foods, stated, "Rosetown has been a key part of AGT’s facility operations with a dedicated local team and great community support from the producers in the West Central region. We are very pleased, along with our partners at Lucent, to be able to revitalize this facility for the production of Soileos to provide producers with this innovative product as they practice smart fertilization and continue to expand sustainable agricultural production."


Michael Riedijk, Founder and CEO of Lucent Bio, says: “Soileos represents a fusion of innovation and sustainability. We're proud to be at the forefront of the transition towards sustainability and a circular economy model in agriculture.”


“Protein Industries Canada is excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new AGT Soileos facility, where innovation and collaboration have come together to help shape a sustainable food future,” Protein Industries Canada CEO Bill Greuel said. “This grand opening represents the significant potential of Canada’s plant-based sector, from AGT Soileos’ ability to help Canada reach its net-zero goals to the job growth that accompanies the building of the new facility. It’s a perfect example of the success the Global Innovation Cluster Program has achieved so far, and we’re proud to have been a part of its journey.”
