Yara Growth Ventures

Yara Growth Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Yara International ASA, focusing on investments in startups and venture capital funds that operate at the intersection of science and technology in the food and agriculture industry. Their mission aligns with Yara's commitment to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet, emphasizing patient capital investments in teams aiming to make significant impacts in agriculture and the hydrogen economy.

The team concentrates on two primary sectors: agriculture and clean hydrogen. In agriculture, they seek companies that offer high-impact solutions with low implementation effort and price parity with current practices, promoting sustainability without compromising yield, quality, or profitability. In clean hydrogen, they invest in technologies that advance the production of low-cost renewable hydrogen and e-fuels, supporting the transition to a green energy economy.

Yara Growth Ventures has a history of strategic investments, including leading a USD 30 million Series C round in Agrofy, a leading agri-business online marketplace in Latin America, and investing in Omnivore's third fund, which focuses on agri-food tech startups across India and Southeast Asia. These investments reflect their commitment to advancing sustainability and innovation in the global agri-food and clean hydrogen sectors.
