Richard Reed, Chairman of Agronomics, commented: - 
"We are very grateful for the strong support we have received from new and existing shareholders. Our assets have continued to perform well and the broader developments across our holdings in the period have further strengthened our position as the largest listed company focused on the field of cellular agriculture."
