Inari Agriculture focuses on improving crop performance through advanced genetic research. The company uses CRISPR technology to make precise changes to plant DNA, enhancing traits that lead to better yields and resilience. Inari's process begins with building genetic knowledge to identify beneficial traits, followed by generating diversity through targeted genetic modifications. The resulting enhancements are integrated into elite parent seeds, which are then distributed through partnerships with seed companies to reach farmers. This model allows Inari to provide seeds that promise higher yields and better performance. The company's goal is to support farmers and agricultural businesses by delivering innovative solutions that improve crop productivity and sustainability.

↓ -1%L’AgTech traverse une période de transformation profonde. Longtemps soutenue par les investissements en Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), l’innovation agricole doit aujourd’hui composer avec une réduction significative des financements. Plusieurs acteurs majeurs du secteur, à l’image de FMC Ventures, ont mis fin à leurs investissements en capital-risque, tandis que le fonds commun Bayer-Trendlines AgTech Fund, initialement prévu jusqu’en 2025, a été dissous fin 2024. Ce repli marque un changement d’approche des grandes entreprises, qui privilégient désormais les acquisitions ciblées et les investissements stratégiques à court terme plutôt que le soutien aux jeunes entreprises en phase de développement. Depuis plusieurs années, le secteur de l’AgTech connaît une contraction progressive des investissements en capital-risque. Les chiffres sont éloquents : selon PJ Amini, directeur senior chez Leaps by Bayer, les financements en AgTech ont chuté de 30 à 40 % par an depuis le début de la décennie, après un pic d’activité en 2018
Inari Agriculture, a seed design company based in Cambridge, MA, raised $144 million in funding. The round included the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and a large financial investor, with contributions from existing investors like Hanwha Impact and Flagship Pioneering. The funds will be used to expand operations and development efforts. Inari, led by CEO Ponsi Trivisvavet, focuses on AI-powered seed design and gene editing for crops like soybean, corn, and wheat.
Massachusetts agtech startup Inari Agriculture Inc. said it raised $144 million of new equity at a $2.17 billion valuation, a roughly 32% jump from a prior mark of $1.65 billion set last January.

Ag biotechnologies and robotics are two segments in the upstream supply chain that have shown significant resilience in 2024 and attracted large deals from investors. Another key trend this year has been the emergence of developing economics in Asia as important players in the sectors of ag biotech. Even if the United States remains the largest beneficiary of 2024 agtech VC investments, garnering 47% of worldwide funding in upstream supply chains, India and China are now also prominent when it comes to funding. In 2024, six of the top 15 agtech rounds were for companies from Asia, which shows clear signs of the growing maturity of startup ecosystems in the continent.
