Online knowledge library and marketplace for farmers.
Wikifarmer operates a global B2B platform and digital ecosystem designed to empower farmers through education and direct market access. The company offers a comprehensive 360-degree approach, featuring the world's largest agricultural knowledge base, a dynamic B2B marketplace connecting producers directly with business buyers, and a specialized Agricultural Academy providing expert-led training. Wikifarmer leverages technology, including AI for price intelligence, automated matching, and trade finance, to streamline the agri-food supply chain and foster sustainable practices.
Founded in 2017 by Ilias Sousis and Petros S., Wikifarmer originated from an observation of significant challenges within the agricultural sector. Initially, the platform focused on providing a free educational library to farmers. The founders recognized an unmet need when farmers began requesting assistance with selling their produce, highlighting the inefficiencies and numerous intermediaries in traditional supply chains. Ilias Sousis brought prior experience from a career at Google to this venture.
The platform serves farmers, suppliers, and business buyers globally, providing tools to access international markets and improve operational efficiency. Wikifarmer's long-term vision is to transform global agri-food supply chains, reduce knowledge gaps, and enable farmers to secure fairer value for their products. The company aims to establish itself as the foundational operating system for a more equitable and digitized agricultural trade landscape.

Wikifarmer is a Greek technology startup founded in 2017 that builds a global 360° platform combining agricultural education and a B2B marketplace to empower farmers.[1][3][5][7] It serves farmers, suppliers, and buyers worldwide—reaching 30 million users across 17 languages in 195+ countries—by solving key pain points like outdated farming practices, lack of market access, and intermediary-heavy supply chains that reduce profitability.[2][5][6] The platform offers a free library with 1,900+ articles from 350 authors, an academy for certified courses, and a marketplace enabling direct sales of produce like fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and honey, with tools for pricing, logistics, payments, and AI-driven sourcing.[1][3][5][7] Growth momentum is strong, with 30M+ users, 15,000+ suppliers, recent funding as of November 2024, and ambitions to hit 100M GMV in two years while expanding into Africa and Latin America.[2][4][5]
Wikifarmer was co-founded in 2017 by CEO Ilias Sousis, a former 11-year Google employee, and Petros Sagos, an agronomist and childhood friend who serves as chief science officer.[1][3] The idea emerged from observing two core agricultural challenges: farmers' reliance on outdated methods yielding low sustainability and productivity, and the undigitized commerce sector dominated by intermediaries that capture value from small producers.[2][3] Starting as a knowledge base translated into 16 languages to attract traffic (nearing 1M monthly visitors by 2023), it evolved into a full marketplace focused initially on Mediterranean countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, and France.[1][3] Early traction came from professional content driving users to B2B transactions, with buyers (food processors, wholesalers, grocers, hotels) placing €1,000–€20,000 orders, supported by recent funding to accelerate logistics, financing, and international expansion.[3][4]
Wikifarmer stands out in agritech through its integrated ecosystem that blends free education with seamless commerce, minimizing intermediaries for fairer pricing and higher farmer profitability.[1][2][6]
Wikifarmer rides the agritech digitization wave, targeting agriculture—one of the least digitized industries—by democratizing knowledge and commerce amid rising global food demands, climate pressures, and supply chain disruptions.[1][2][3] Timing is ideal post-2020s supply shocks, with market forces like sustainability mandates (e.g., GLOBALG.A.P. partnerships) and AI adoption favoring platforms that boost smallholder yields and direct trade.[4][7] It influences the ecosystem by enabling reinvestment in farm tech, reducing food waste via transparency, and expanding to underserved regions like Africa/Latin America, fostering a healthier global agri-food chain.[1][2][6]
Wikifarmer is poised to become the "NASDAQ of agriculture" by scaling its AI-automated marketplace to 100M GMV, monetizing logistics/financing services, and deepening 360° features like advanced analytics.[2][5] Trends like AI in procurement, sustainable farming regs, and emerging-market growth will propel it, potentially evolving into a full-stack ecosystem with user content and broader B2B tools. As it connects 15,000+ suppliers to global buyers, Wikifarmer will amplify its role in making agriculture fairer and more productive—transforming a fragmented sector one transparent transaction at a time.[1][2][5]
