## About

Founded in 2021 by its CTO, Cara Griffiths, based in the UK, Sugarox Ltd., operates as an agribusiness company that offers agriculture chemicals for wheat farmers. In August 2025, Sugarox Ltd raised GBP 1 million in seed funding from new investor The Mosaic Company, with participation from returning investors Future Planet Capital and Regenerate Asset Management Ltd. Individual and other unspecified investors also participated in the round. As of 2023, the company is led by its CEO, Mark Robbins. The company offers biostimulants based on trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), a natural plant sugar-based molecule that serves as a signaling compound applied via spray used by farmers for carbon allocation in crops, resulting in increased yields. The company’s product can be used for wheat crops to improve the resilience of crop systems amidst adverse weather conditions such as drought and increase the yield of wheat. The company plans to use the August 2025 funding to advance production of its T6P biostimulant through the establishment of a pilot manufacturing facility.
