What Terramera does

Terramera is a Vancouver-based agricultural technology company founded in 2010 that develops biological alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Its core platform is the proprietary Actigate™ Targeted Performance technology, which combines machine learning-based formulation design, automated rapid prototyping, and advanced active-ingredient delivery to improve the efficacy of natural bioactives (notably cold pressed neem oil with 150+ bioactives). The company sells biological pesticide brands including RANGO™ (broad-range specialty crops, fungicide/insecticide/miticide), SOCORO™ (EPA-approved, OMRI-listed for US row crops including soybean and corn), and TRIFECTO® (COFEPRIS-approved in Mexico for avocados, berries, and vegetables), as well as consumer bed-bug products CIRKIL® and PROOF® distributed through Home Depot, Walgreens, Target, and Meijer. Terramera has spun out two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Catalera (biological inputs for broad-acre agriculture using a 15+ year patented bioactive delivery platform) and Miraterra (soil intelligence combining the world's largest proprietary soil DNA library with ML-driven analysis). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time product sales (biological pesticides, consumer products), licensing/royalties of the Actigate platform and formulations to partners, and subscription-based soil intelligence services from Miraterra. GTM combines direct enterprise sales to commercial growers, distribution partnerships (Univar USA, Target Specialty Products), retail distribution for consumer products, and a strategic partnership with Microsoft to scale regenerative agriculture and carbon market verification globally.

Core offering

Terramera develops and commercializes biological crop protection products that replace synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Using its proprietary Actigate™ Targeted Performance technology combined with machine learning-based formulation design, the company sells biological pesticides (SOCORO, RANGO, TRIFECTO, CIRKIL) for commercial growers and pest management professionals, plus consumer bed bug products (PROOF) at major retailers. Through its Catalera subsidiary it delivers biological inputs for broad-acre agriculture, and through Miraterra it provides soil intelligence and carbon measurement services.

Product overview

Terramera is a technology for clean food company that operates through two spinout companies and a proprietary technology platform. The core Actigate™ Targeted Performance technology platform underlies all product development, combining data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence to develop sustainable biological crop protection solutions. Terramera's spinout Catalera focuses on biological input solutions for broad acre agriculture, while Miraterra provides advanced soil intelligence and measurement technology. The product portfolio includes biological pesticides RANGO™ (broad range fungicide/insecticide/miticide), SOCORO™ (for row crops), and TRIFECTO® (for Mexico), along with consumer products CIRKIL® and PROOF® for bed bug control. The company is privately held and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
