The 15 agriculture and farming startups listed here represent funded deals in Singapore's Central Region spanning July 2021 through October 2025. The standout disclosed raise is UMAMI UNITED's $20M seed round in October 2025 — large relative to stage. Rize ($14M Series A, May 2024) and umitron ($9M Series B, June 2022) follow as the next largest. Four companies — Agridence, Canterly, Nutrition Technologies, and Handprint — closed rounds without disclosing amounts.
Seed-stage deals are the most common structure across the 15 companies, with five separate seed closings. Three Series A rounds — DiMuto, Rize, and Peptobiotics — all closed within a five-month window between April and August 2024. Sub-sector coverage is broad: aquaculture technology (umitron), agri-supply chain traceability (DiMuto, Agridence), alternative proteins and insect-derived ingredients (INSEACT, Protenga, Nutrition Technologies), and environmental tech adjacent to agriculture (Handprint, WasteX, SEPPURE). Protenga's $2M debt financing in March 2022 and SEPPURE's $1M grant in July 2021 show that non-equity structures also appear alongside traditional venture rounds.
