ReenBio builds resilient natural ingredient supply by producing 1:1 replacements from diversified agricultural feedstocks — through proprietary biosynthesis. No crop dependency. Stable price. Scalable supply.
Large FMCG manufacturers face a crisis they cannot solve with procurement alone. The natural ingredients that define their products — cocoa, vanilla, flavours — are locked to volatile agricultural cycles, geopolitical risk, and climate instability.
This is not a sustainability story. This is a business continuity problem worth billions of dollars per year. ReenBio exists to fix it — by decoupling natural ingredient supply from crop cultivation entirely.
Cocoa hit a 45-year high. Vanilla prices swing 400% between harvests. FMCG product teams cannot plan, procure, or price with confidence.
$10,000/t cocoa peak 202570% of global cocoa comes from just two countries. One bad season, one conflict, one disease — and the supply dries up with no backup available.
70% cocoa from West AfricaMeeting demand would require 300M km² of new cocoa plantations and 200M km² of vanilla. That land does not exist without catastrophic cost.
300M km² new cocoa land neededReenBio's proprietary biosynthesis platform identifies, isolates, and replicates the natural molecular pathways found in premium ingredients — and executes them at industrial scale using agricultural residue as feedstock. One platform. Any ingredient.
Sugarcane bagasse, paddy husk, cocoa shells, crop fibre — abundant, consistent, near-zero cost inputs otherwise burned or discarded.
Identify and isolate target precursor molecules and enzymes from the residue stream based on known biosynthesis pathways found in nature.
Replicate nature's own molecular assembly at industrial production conditions using selected strains cultured for precision performance.
Optimised fermentation drives biosynthesis of target molecules at scale. AI analytics refine yield and consistency across iterations.
Reverse purification delivers ingredients in natural complex form — high bioavailability, non-GMO, 100% natural certified and market-ready.
Every output is certified natural. No genetic modification. No synthetic additives. The process replicates nature's own biochemistry — at industrial scale.
Machine learning tools accelerate biosynthesis pathway identification and fermentation optimisation — compressing development timelines from years to months.
The same biosynthesis architecture producing RECOA applies to vanilla, flavours, nutraceuticals, and natural colours. The platform scales horizontally across ingredient categories.
RECOA is the first commercial proof point of the ReenBio platform. Produced entirely from agricultural residue, it delivers a 1:1 cocoa powder substitute at a fraction of the cost — with zero deforestation exposure, zero child labour risk, and supply independent of West African harvests.
No product approval required in any target market. RECOA is a direct drop-in for B2B formulators in bakery, confectionery, beverage, dairy, and snacks.

The collapse of conventional cocoa supply, rising natural ingredient regulation, and FMCG ESG commitments have created a structural demand gap that only a technology-native solution can fill at scale.
ReenBio's platform intersects three converging forces: ingredient price instability, clean-label demand, and the physical impossibility of growing enough crops to meet global consumption.
Projections based on planned production scale-up and pipeline commercialisation milestones.
Up to 80% cost reduction versus conventional cocoa. Natural vanilla at 40% of synthetic vanillin cost. For the first time, natural is cheaper than artificial.
Ingredients fully decoupled from crop cycles, weather events, and geopolitical risk. Agricultural residue is consistent, abundant, and geographically diversified.
100% natural certified. Non-GMO. High bioavailability. Meets clean label requirements without performance compromise or reformulation overhead.
1:1 functional and sensory performance. FMCG customers integrate RECOA with zero reformulation cost. Immediate savings, immediate supply security.
ReenBio's primary mandate is supply chain resilience for food manufacturers. The environmental and social outcomes are powerful, measurable consequences of that mission — not marketing.
39% of Ivory Coast's forests were lost to cocoa plantation expansion 2000–2021. By replacing demand for crop-derived cocoa, ReenBio removes the economic pressure that drives clearing. No new land required. Ever.
Farmers currently burn or discard millions of tonnes of crop byproduct annually. ReenBio converts this zero-value waste into a paid feedstock — supplementing farmer income without requiring any new cultivation.
Over 8 billion people cannot reliably access natural ingredients due to price instability. As ReenBio scales, natural ingredients become affordable, consistent, and accessible at every market tier — without the ethical costs of conventional supply.
"The ingredients were always there — locked inside the agricultural residue we already produce. Our technology unlocks them."
ReenBio is raising to scale production from pilot to commercial, build the vanilla and flavours pipeline, and expand across ASEAN, India, Australia, and Europe.
B2B supply of natural ingredient substitutes to FMCG manufacturers. White-label licensing. Long-term supply agreements. Unit economics: sub-$3/kg production cost versus $9–10/kg conventional cocoa at commercial scale.
