Georgian phages from BioChimPharm are funded by Europe and the United Nations.

The frequent use of antibiotics in poultry farming increases health risks for consumers. The innovative products from BioChimPharm serve as an alternative to veterinary antibiotics. With the assistance of the European Union, the company will be able to further develop its product, increase production, and comply with EU standards.

The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization have granted $150,000 to BioChimpharm. The objective is to develop an antimicrobial veterinary solution based on bacteriophages, aiming to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock. Consumption of such animals has an impact on humans. The funding will support the production of “PowerPhage,” a natural antimicrobial veterinary solution based on bacteriophages. This solution will help reduce antibiotic use in meat production, especially in poultry farming. BioChimPharm aims to increase PowerPhage production by 300%. This grant enables the development and implementation of European standards and modernization of the production line. The funding from the EU and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is part of a total investment of $1,000,000 raised by the company.

European Program for Agriculture and Rural Development

Structural and systemic challenges still limit rural development in Georgia. Therefore, Europe has established the European Neighborhood Program for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD). Between March and December 2020, 132 matching grants totaling 8.5 million GEL (Georgian currency) were awarded. The beneficiaries are mainly Georgian farmers, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and small and medium-sized enterprises located in rural areas. ENPARD, launched in 2013 with a total budget of 234.5 million euros, aims to provide economic opportunities and reduce poverty in Georgia.

Results achieved by BioChimPharm

BioChimPharm has modernized its historical bacteriophage manufacturing plant with an investment of 17.5 million GEL. The EU, the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), the United Nations, and the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia have supported this action. This modernization has allowed the company to comply with the EU’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards.

As a result, BioChimPharm is increasing its production capacity and expanding its export area. The company aims to make phages available to millions of patients worldwide, complying with internationally recognized manufacturing standards. It is undertaking the modernization of its manufacturing plant, high-tech infrastructure, and production lines. Moreover, this will enable more effective combating of resistant infections and contribute to overcoming the global threat of antibiotic resistance.
