AgriFi is a Bengaluru, India-based agricultural technology company that operates a blockchain-powered farmland marketplace and a digital credit platform for local independent farmers. The platform integrates Internet of Things hardware and smart contracts to facilitate verifiable agricultural investments and the tokenization of real-world farming assets. Operating across business-to-business and direct-to-consumer segments, the ecosystem provides farmers with institutional credit and pre-harvest lending while offering decentralized finance features like yield farming. The enterprise maintains a corporate headcount of 11 to 20 employees and recently expanded its digital asset presence by listing its native AGF token on the LBank cryptocurrency exchange. AgriFi projects its platform will scale to support over 100,000 active users by 2026 alongside the rollout of new environmental carbon tracking capabilities. The company was officially founded in 2020 by Abhilash Thirupathy and Raghuchandra K R.

AgriFi is a blockchain-powered technology company building a farmland marketplace that tokenizes agricultural assets for fractional ownership and yield-sharing via DeFi on the Polygon network.[1][2] It integrates IoT sensors, AI analytics, and smart contracts to connect farmers, investors, and agricultural data, solving issues like data opacity, limited access to farmland markets, and inefficient verification in traditional agriculture.[1][2] The platform serves smallholder farmers by enabling transparent profit-sharing without intermediaries, while offering investors verifiable, real-world asset (RWA) yields backed by on-chain metrics such as soil health and crop productivity; it targets global users through mobile interfaces, fiat on-ramps, and DEX integrations.[1][2]
Growth momentum includes a 2024 token launch (AGF on Bitleonx), IoT integration, and airdrops, with 2025 plans for LBank listing, AI enhancements, decentralized insurance, and marketplace rollout amid expanding partnerships.[1]
AgriFi emerged from efforts to revolutionize agriculture through blockchain, with foundational research and partnerships in IoT and blockchain providers spanning 2021–2023, including SNS marketing campaigns.[1] The idea crystallized around tokenizing farmland as an RWA class, bridging DeFi with real-world farming yields, as highlighted in recent developments like its IoT-blockchain marketplace launch announced in December 2025.[2] Early traction built on creating verifiable farmland portfolios, evolving from basic smart contracts to a full ecosystem with wallet, staking, and farming pools by 2024.[1][2]
Note: Distinct from AgriFi.AI (or AgriFi India), an AI-spacetech analytics platform founded around 2020 in Bangalore for rural finance and crop insights, AgriFi (agrifi.tech) focuses on blockchain tokenization.[3][4][6]
AgriFi rides the RWA tokenization trend in DeFi, converting illiquid farmland into accessible assets amid rising demand for yield-bearing real-world investments post-2024 crypto recoveries.[1][2] Timing aligns with global food security pressures, IoT/AI maturation in agtech, and blockchain adoption in supply chains, countering market forces like climate volatility and farmer financing gaps.[1][2] It influences the ecosystem by democratizing ag-investments, fostering farmer-investor unions, and paving for tokenized commodities/credits, potentially accelerating DeFi's shift to tangible yields.[1]
AgriFi is positioned for explosive growth through its 2025–2028 roadmap: marketplace launch, AI/IoT expansion, DAO governance, and scaling to 500,000+ users with autonomous farming and carbon credits.[1] Trends like RWA DeFi maturation, regulatory clarity on tokenized assets, and agtech convergence will propel it, evolving its role from niche marketplace to full decentralized ag-ecosystem leader. As blockchain bridges farms to wallets, AgriFi exemplifies how tech turns farmland into the next big asset class, delivering verifiable yields in a fragmented global market.[1][2]
