I am extremely delighted and proud to share this news to all in BASAI that on behalf of the Executive Board of ABIM AG, that my abstract entitled “Regulatory challenges of Cell free microbials as biological agri-inputs: India Case Study” has been accepted for a presentation at the Navigating Regulatory Pathways for Complex Mixtures, Peptides & RNAi Session at the Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting (ABIM), taking place in Basel, Switzerland from 20-22 October 2026.

This session Navigating Regulatory Pathways for Complex Mixtures, Peptides & RNAi is scheduled for Thursday, 22 October 2026, 10:30-12:00 CET
The risk assessment of complex mixtures such as microbial metabolites, peptides and RNAi is an evolving science. How to determine the regulatory pathway for these complex mixtures, a process often referred to as “problem formulation”, meaning “how to resolve the problem”, is a key topic for regulators worldwide. This session explores ideas on best practices for achieving a robust safety evaluation.

What an honor and what an amazing feeling as I feel blessed.
Long journey, a hard one but worth all the sweat 💦 and pain.

Biological Agri Solutions Association of India (BASAI) is pleased to support the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare for promotion of sunflower cultivation among small and marginal farmers of Merak Sahib Farmer Producer Organisation, Baramulla district, Jammu & Kashmir.

Baramulla district has been identified as a priority district under the PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, which focuses on convergence-led agricultural development in districts with low cropping intensity, limited crop diversification, and relatively lower productivity levels. The district continues to face structural challenges in diversification and income enhancement.

The intervention aims to promote crop diversification, improve cropping intensity, and enhance farmer income while strengthening the local edible oil value chain.

BASAI has supported a sum of ₹2 lakhs for required primarily for procurement of certified sunflower seed as a CSR support. This is to ensure transparency and quality assurance, the seed is procured through the National Seeds Corporation, with BASAI Stewardship funds transferred directly for supply to the participating FPO.

BASAI’s support through Stewardship funding has significantly contributed to strengthening farmer collectives and promoting diversification in this agriculturally laggard district.

Towards self-reliance through sustainable oilseed value chains
