Agrifoodtech – Technology as an accelerator of change

The term Agrifoodtech encompasses the ecosystem of entrepreneurs and startups that are innovating by applying new technologies to improve all elements of the food chain—from production to distribution and, ultimately, consumption.


Like any ecosystem, it must be supported by the investment that makes it evolve and therefore, we consider it essential to listen to the investors in the sector. We have seen how the AgriFoodTech environment has obtained a capital of 26,100B USD in 2020, representing a year-on-year increase of 15.5%. The estimated amount for 2021 is more than 30,000B USD, which would imply a growth of 34.5% compared to 2019.
