5.China

Number of Agri-Tech Startups: 660

China is not only a large economy but also one of the biggest producers of agricultural products in the world. Agriculture sector’s share in 2021 GDP was recorded at 7%. As one of the most populace countries, China also faces the challenge of feeding over a billion people.

This, along with the country’s vision to be self-sufficient in food security, has spurred considerable investment in agricultural technologies. Its smart-agriculture market has rapidly grown from $14 billion in 2015 to $27 billion in 2020.

Thus, it is no wonder that many startups, like Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED), have emerged over the years. XAG is a provider to local enterprises in drones that deliver pesticide-spraying services to the farmers. Livin Farms is a developer of insect-based alternative proteins.
