Agrotech start-ups that have recently attracted investments.

Agrotech continues to attract the attention of investors due to its success in the Russian market. By 2026, the Russian market for agrotech will grow at least fivefold, potentially attracting more investor interest in this sector.

This startup just received funding from the Russian-Belarusian Venture Investment Fund and is directing it toward scale and development. The company is creating a system to monitor crop areas and plant health from drones. They will transmit data to a platform developed by the company, which offers recommendations for agricultural work.Field analysis maps help you monitor your crop and detect disease more closely. With a map, you know what kind of condition your plants are in and which nutrients they need to thrive. The company focused on the agricultural sector and needed a solution for specific tasks. They began to not just have robots fly autonomously but also create their own drones that could carry out specific tasks.

The founder discusses the importance of their product in the way they process and use data. The algorithms they use are time tested, which offers better-quality output than machines that rely on human inputs. In addition to this, their drones don’t actually contribute that much to their company’s success, as the algorithms and methods developed for them are what set them apart from other companies. This example illustrates how you can use AI to create an image that is accessible to even your most niche customer groups. Sales in these areas are already taking shape in Russia and Kazakhstan. They have also adapted their product for the market in Indonesia. The company is expanding into new markets and has been doing so legally through different methods. It plans on continuing to do so in the future. Argentina has many agricultural products, allowing them to harvest and export a lot of these products. This makes consumption and exports more significant in the country which is always a good thing.

Ryazan-based Avrora Robotics develop unmanned equipment and vehicles software. Perhaps the most impressive and helpful feature of the Avrora Robotics control system is that it gathers information from a series of sensors and then creates a map of the surrounding space so that it can find any obstacles to avoid or possible paths for movement. It is able to independently make these decisions in order to move an unmanned platform. The company is also working on an unmanned bus that will have a dispatch system.

AI continues to make strides in the field of automated farming technologies. The easy-to-use system not only reduces costs, but it does so with high-quality crops that yield significantly more than conventional fertilizer in the long run. Tests of “Agrobot” began in 2016 and the technology is based on developments done by Ryazan State Radio Engineering University with Avrora Design Bureau. The company has been doing research for 8 years now. The robotic complex will include 10 Agrobots, which will be controlled by a single dispatch center. They’ll do a number of field-related tasks: planting, processing and harvesting.

With the help of AI writing assistants, you’re able to process orders & work schedules at an efficient rate. By this process, your business experience will benefit greatly. This level of quality is what you can expect from professional copywriters! The company is at this stage now and will soon be able to follow through with the product development process.

iFarm Project is a farm-to-table company that provides solutions for automated cultivation of natural vegetables, berries, and herbs in cities regardless of seasons. The idea comes from the limitations on urban gardening plots that people face in the wintertime. The company grows sustainable products on its own farms while also building greenhouses and turning them into vertical farms. These innovations allow the company to ensure that they’re always one step ahead of regulations and weather patterns.

The company started with experiments with a bio-vegetarian greenhouse and has gradually been expanding its range and technologies. They also improved their automation, cultivation, and construction technologies. At the company, they had been experimenting with the process of development both in a lab and in-house by creating innovations such as phytolamps, drip irrigation, ventilation systems and much more.

“This year we plan to enter the international market and raise funds to scale up and build new facilities. We will actively develop the technology and expand the staff, with pilot launches in Europe set for Q4.”

The UrbaniEco project is a part of a group that creates three different aspects of work at the same time. They produce greens and salads under the Local Roots brand in vertical farms. Based on loca’s experience, the startup has created a second production direction by developing vertical farms and other indoor growing solutions. The project will ensure that people can eat nutritious food in any location anytime. UrbaniEco’s solutions can now be found in over 20 different cities and regions around Russia. They allow farmers to grow up to 16 crops a year, reduce water consumption by 95%, and stay up-to-date on local weather patterns. By entering into training with a local farm or by taking an internship in the agriculture industry, you’re preparing yourself for a fruitful future as a professional farmer.

ALi is an interesting project that uses algae in office and industrial premises to purify the air. Calculating the effects that single celled plants can have on a community is a great way to start understanding how we can play a part in changing our environment. Despite more people being environmentally-conscious, the company’s product cuts down on the need for a traditional ventilation system by around 95%. The energy efficient method is up to five times more effective than persistent cleaning systems. The company has one primary client segment which includes treatment facilities and livestock complexes.

Experts have found that many Russian agrotech start-ups make the same mistakes in their marketing and they’re often heavily overconfident. Some investors can be scared off by this, especially when starting out. Experts say that startup founders often prioritize their own vision instead of understanding their market and needs. But in reality, startups are just as likely to succeed when they put themselves in the market as it is to succeed if they focus on perfecting their original idea. They are the ones who receive the support of investors and have already started on their product specifically. They need to test problems, conduct customer development, formulate values and more from day one to ensure success.
