🌾 Southeast Asia’s agri-food sector is critical to the region’s macro economy, accounting for over 25% of GDP. More than 270 agri-food tech startups are addressing pressing challenges in sustainability and food security. Singapore leads as a funding hub, attracting 38% of total agri-food tech investment. Key growth areas feature solutions leveraging IoT, AI, and renewable energy to improve farming efficiency. Next-gen F&B is also a promising growth sector. These products focus on alternative proteins and sustainable practices while aiming to align with health-conscious consumer demands. Investment opportunities are afoot, but this sector faces challenges, including high R&D costs, regulatory hurdles, and the need to match local preferences. The Radical Fund is actively driving innovation, recently investing in a stealth startup pioneering sustainable palm oil derivatives using precision fermentation. As demand rises globally, such advancements highlight the potential for SEA to lead in commercial and climate-impact solutions. 🗞️ Check out the full story authored by Steve Prawiromaruto via e27 (Optimatic): https://lnkd.in/gvjtfKdp 💡 If you are building a startup in the Agri-Food space, get in touch with us: https://lnkd.in/gS4ChSst #AgriFood #VentureCapital #SoutheastAsia
