About Agrotools

Founded in 2007 by economist Sergio Rocha, Agrotools has established itself as a significant digital platform for corporate agribusiness, originating from São Paulo, Brazil. Rocha, the company's CEO, leveraged over 30 years of experience in agricultural commodities, financial services, and technology to create a solution for a critical market gap: the lack of organized, accessible data for risk analysis and decision-making in the agricultural sector. The company initially grew by reinvesting its revenues and later secured $21 million in a Series A funding round in 2022 to fuel its expansion.

Agrotools provides a proprietary geospatial platform that offers data-driven insights to the entire agribusiness value chain, bridging the gap between rural territories and corporate entities. Its client base includes banks, insurers, commodity traders, food and beverage companies, and retail networks, with prominent names like McDonald’s, Cargill, and Rabobank. The company's business model is centered on providing digital solutions that enable clients to manage risks and identify opportunities. This is achieved by analyzing over 1,300 layers of data from multiple sources to deliver insights for financial resource allocation, rural insurance underwriting, raw material procurement, and ESG compliance. The platform processes over 200,000 analyses daily, monitoring more than 200 million hectares.

The core service is a digital ecosystem that translates complex rural data into actionable business intelligence. For financial institutions, it provides tools for more precise risk assessment in agricultural lending and insurance. For corporations purchasing raw materials, it offers supply chain monitoring to ensure socio-environmental compliance and protect brand reputation. The platform also delivers commercial intelligence for companies selling products to rural producers. A key milestone was the acquisition of Argentine ag-tech S4Go in 2023, enhancing its capabilities to connect with small and medium-sized producers. Certified as a B Corporation, Agrotools is recognized for its commitment to social and environmental standards. The company has expanded its operations to North America and other parts of Latin America and Australia, with plans for further growth through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.
