Vince Restucci to assume role as vice president of agronomy services to accelerate expansion
Calyxt, Inc., a plant-based technology company focused on healthy food ingredients, appointed Vince Restucci in a newly created role as vice president of agronomy services to support the expansion of Calyxt’s grower network and Identity Preserved System.
Restucci has a diverse background in purchasing, marketing and technical expertise across farming, consumer packaged goods, food, and agribusiness environments, making him a versatile addition to help steer the Calyxt agronomy team. His vast experience will guide our growing list of strategic agronomy partners to improve the quality of crops, increase yield and address questions related to chemistry and stewardship practices.
“We expect Vince, with his deep agribusiness knowledge, to have a positive impact in helping us to grow not only our first commercial product, High Oleic Soybean, but also expansion to new crops including wheat, hemp and alfalfa,” said Manoj Sahoo, chief business development and supply chain officer with Calyxt. “As a well-respected and driven agribusiness leader, Vince will tap into and expand our grower relationships. We believe this strategy will strengthen our initiative to double contracted acres year over year as already evident with our 2020 contracted acreage goal of100,000 acres versus 36,000 planted acres in 2019,” concluded Sahoo.
