Cibus US LLC

Cibus US LLC is an operating entity within the Cibus group, an agricultural technology company focused on developing and licensing plant traits through precision gene-editing. The company's mission is to address critical productivity, yield, and sustainability challenges in farming by creating more resilient, sustainable, and vigorous crops. The primary operations and headquarters for the Cibus group are located in San Diego, California.

The Cibus group utilizes its proprietary Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS™), a gene-editing technology that integrates crop-specific cell biology platforms to precisely modify plant genomes without introducing foreign DNA. This technology enables the development of advanced plant traits for major global row crops such as rice, canola, soybean, and wheat. Key traits include herbicide tolerance, pod shatter reduction, disease resistance, and nutrient use efficiency. Additionally, the company is expanding into sustainable ingredients and bio-fragrance products. Cibus operates on a licensing model, partnering with seed companies and earning royalties on seed sales.

In recent developments, the Cibus group, under its publicly traded parent Cibus, Inc., reported its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results in March 2026, highlighting progress in its Rice program with targeted commercial launches in LATAM by 2027 and the USA by 2028. The company successfully raised $22.3 million in gross proceeds from a public offering in January 2026. Peter Beetham serves as the Interim Chief Executive Officer. The European Union's political agreement on New Genomic Techniques legislation in December 2025 marks a significant regulatory milestone for gene-editing technologies, supporting Cibus' market positioning as a leader in agricultural innovation.
