Agriculture is a key sector in Asia, especially SE Asia. According to the World Bank, agriculture accounted for about 11% of ASEAN’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020. In countries such as Cambodia and Myanmar, the sector contributed more than 20% to national GDP. Agriculture is also a major employer in the region. In 2019, it accounted for more than 35% of total employment in countries like Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam.

The APAC agricultural market is experiencing significant growth, driven by technological adoption and increasing demand for high-quality agricultural products. The integration of AI in agriculture, particularly in trading and logistics, offers a substantial opportunity to capitalize on this growth by improving supply chain efficiencies and market responsiveness.

  • "Enormous size and complexity of agri-food systems, coupled with their fragmented nature, pose challenges to unlocking big data's potential economic value, which is projected at over in Southeast Asia alone."

    — The World Economic Forum

  • "Agriculture has clearly entered a new era – one in which farmers are harnessing data and AI to make farming more productive and their businesses more sustainable. Agricultural intelligence is having as transformational an effect on farming as the tractor once did..."

    — Jeff Rowe, CEO of Syngenta Group, via the World Economic Forum 

  • "The structural drivers of the opportunity stayed put. Yield gaps, post-harvest losses, and SME financing shortfalls remain largely unchanged... The pullback [in generalist VC funding] was a failure of the capital model on its own terms, not a market failure."
