Advanced Plant Biotech for High-Value Crops
Crown Organogenesis Protocols Inc. (COPI) is a spin-off company resulting from a collaboration with Cavite State University (CvSU) and leading industry partners. COPI specializes in tissue culture and organogenesis to propagate elite, disease-free planting materials of high-value crops such as agarwood, sandalwood, ylang-ylang, champaca, and other perfumery species.
COPI’s mission is to ensure consistent supply, high-quality genetics, and scalable propagation solutions for both commercial plantations and research institutions. By bridging science and industry, COPI minimizes cultivation risk, accelerates growth cycles, and supports sustainable agroforestry expansion.
