Agri-processing platform Agrizy announced today that it has raised Rs 82 crore in Series A funding. The round was co-led by ACCIONA and Omnivore, with participation from Capria Ventures, Thai Wah Ventures, and existing investor Ankur Capital. India has more than 2 million food processing MSMEs, which operate significantly under capacity and struggle to find B2B customers. Agrizy, an Indian agri-processing platform, recently secured Rs 82 crore in its Series A funding round. The round was co-led by Accion and Omnivore, with participation from Capria Ventures, Thai Wah Ventures, and existing investor Ankur Capital. Despite India's $400 billion agri-processing market experiencing a 9% annual growth rate, only 10% of farm produce is currently processed, compared to global leaders such as China (40%) and developed nations (70%). Agrizy aims to bridge this gap by providing Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a fully managed B2B marketplace for agrifood supply chains and processing. The platform connects all stakeholders in the agrifood ecosystem to optimize transaction discovery and fulfillment. Agrizy collaborates closely with MSMEs, offering a suite of digital services to boost long-term revenues, enhance operating margins, and streamline procurement and sales cycles. With the new funding, Agrizy plans to expand into new product areas and geographies, launching Contract Development Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and value-added advisory services, as well as offering financial services to MSME processors and Farmer-Producer Organizations (FPOs). Factacy.ai Congratulates and wishes them well as the investment will empower Agrizy to actively drive these crucial initiatives in both local and global markets.
