Ag Tech Industry Trends
Farm management software jumped 35% to $1.69 billion in 2022, with a slight decline in deal activity highlighting some large deals. Questions remain about the overall quality of the tools on offer, especially in precision ag, as farmers have often struggled to get value for their money and efforts implementing these tools. The US still leads investment in this category, but Asia has seen tremendous growth in farmtech categories over the last couple years. India is Asia’s leader in this category; China’s ecosystem is starting to gather momentum, too.
