Rijtak opens a future for microalgae.
Discover Rijtak's dedication to Spirulina cultivation. Dive into our story of innovation, health and environmentally conscious practices.
Rijtaks story
Rijtak started growing microalgae on a small scale in 2021. At the beginning of this year, an important decision was made to replace a few rows of our traditional tomato cultivation with a place to grow Spirulina. At the end of that same year we launched our first product. By shifting cultivation, we open the door to the food of the future.
What makes us unique
In addition to traditional vegetable cultivation, Rijtak distinguishes itself from competitors through its rapid and strategic integration of microalgae. The company's commitment to working towards a healthy and sustainable future is reflected in its growing practices. With Spirulina, Rijtak is a pioneer in the emerging microalgae market. This was made possible by a full backpack
experience in modern horticulture and the help of many institutes. With the rapid launch of the first products and with room to grow, Rijtak shows efficiency and innovation to bring nutritious Spirulina to the market.
