Climate change poses a significant threat to our environment, societies, and economy, endangering well-being and prosperity. By 2030, with a global population of nearly 9 billion people, we’ll require 50% more food, 45% more energy, and 30% more water while reducing emissions. Agriculture currently contributes 30% of all global emissions. Agros aims to tackle these urgent challenges by closing the yield gap and decarbonizing agriculture. Committed to climate action and rural prosperity, we registered our company in Singapore in 2019. Now, with subsidiaries in Myanmar and Cambodia, we work with over 2,500 farmers on 9,000 hectares, aiming to impact 100,000 farmers within 5 years. Our goal is to be the leading sustainable solution provider for crop farmers across Southeast Asia.

Our Story

About

Food production needs to double by 2050 with net-zero emissions. Meanwhile, 500 million smallholder farmers are producing 30% of the worlds’ food with increasing fuel & fertilizer prices and degrading soils, leaving them behind with a huge financial burden. Agros is here to make a change, for the planet and for the people.
