June 13, 2023 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (“Clean Seed” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CSX) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the next phase of commitments within the MOU with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (“Mahindra”) announced February 13, 2023.
Clean Seed and Mahindra recently completed the development, production, and assembly of the first pre-production MINI-MAX™ Alpha units for India. This milestone highlights the commitment of both parties to deliver SMART Seeder™ technologies with specifications required for its customer base in the region.
A pre-production MINI-MAX™ Alpha unit was dispatched to various farms in the Punjab and Haryana region to complete the final stage of trials with the Northern Farmer Mega FPO. These conclusive trials were a complete success while focusing on direct seeding rice, one of India’s leading crops. MINI-MAX™ is positioned to address wheat, rice, maize, pulses and millets which makes up the bulk of the Indian crop production.
In addition, the validation processes, successes, and stability of our technology has allowed for the pre-production MINI-MAX™ to continue to be operated by the FPO without on-ground support from Clean Seed or Mahindra.
We are also proud to announce that from June 15, 2023, to June 17, 2023, Canada’s Agriculture Minister, The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, is travelling to India for the upcoming G20 Agriculture Minister’s Meeting in Hyderabad. Following her visit to Hyderabad, the Minister will be attending a MINI-MAX™ demonstration at an on-farm site in Sonepat, outside of Delhi.
Chairman and CEO of Clean Seed, Graeme Lempriere, states:
“The completion of this phase of our MOU with our esteemed partner Mahindra & Mahindra demonstrates our mutual vision, commitment, and ambitions to have a meaningful impact on the global agriculture system.
I would like to again thank the Canadian Provincial and Federal Governments and Agencies, our shareholders, and the farming community for your support, as well as all the parties on the ground in India that have worked tirelessly to bring this opportunity to fruition. Our experiences in India to date has been tremendous.”
