IFF reports approval of SYNERXIA yeasts in Argentina for biofuel production

IFF announced an unprecedented approval from the Argentine Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy for the commercialization of genetically modified yeasts for grains-based bioethanol production in Argentina. The IFF‘s range of SYNERXIA yeasts may increase the efficiency of corn conversion into bioethanol by up to 3%. These solutions are already widely used by biofuel producers in the United States and Brazil, among other countries. According to the US Department of Agriculture, Argentina’s corn ethanol production is projected to reach nearly 700M liters and represents over 60% of the national bioethanol production in 2023.1 This announcement is expected to further support the growth of corn ethanol production in Argentina.
