Locus Agricultural Solutions

What Locus Agricultural Solutions does

Locus Agricultural Solutions (legal entity: Locus Fermentation Solutions; DBA: Locus Agriculture, Locus FS) is a precision fermentation company founded in 2017 that develops microbial and biosurfactant-based products for agriculture, oil and gas, mining, and industrial/CPG end-markets. The agricultural franchise centers on proprietary biologicals (Rhizolizer), inoculants, foliar performance products (Calbor, VermiBoost, Bombigro), and soil conditioners (NutriCharge) that target yield improvement, nutrient efficiency, and stress tolerance in row crops, specialty crops, turf, and ornamentals. Core technology is precision fermentation applied to specialized microbial strains, with product claims validated by third-party Contract Research Organization (CRO) trials across corn, peanuts, and wheat, and demonstrated through a verified world record non-irrigated soybean yield of 154.98 bu/acre.

The company operates across multiple verticals on a shared fermentation platform, also producing SUSTAIN biosurfactant frac surfactants and related oilfield chemistries, mining flotation and heap leach reagents, and industrial performance additives for cleaning, coatings, and corrosion/scale inhibition. It sells through a three-tier channel — authorized dealers/retailers, distributors, and direct sales to growers — primarily in North America with claimed reach into South America, Australia, and multiple African and European markets. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company positions its offerings as data-backed, consistency-validated biologicals for risk-averse channel partners and growers. Headcount is 11–50 employees and revenue is not disclosed; the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the source data.
