Investment thesis
GrainCorp Ventures invests in early-stage agtech, animal nutrition and food innovation start-ups aiming to shape the future of sustainable Australian agriculture and food production. It focuses on four areas: analytics and optimisation of agricultural commodities, smart supply chains, biotechnology for improved crop production and sustainability, and sustainability/circular economy solutions that reduce agricultural carbon footprint. Backed by GrainCorp's century of agribusiness expertise and its network of 12,000+ growers, the fund takes minority stakes in companies developing software, hardware or new business models that benefit Australian agriculture and food production. It is supported by Artesian Venture Partners.
