The number of agritech companies far surpasses the number that we have seen for other countries and therefore, the US can be called the most advanced country in terms of agtech startups. Furthermore, the US is the largest exporter of many agribusiness products. The sector is responsible for growth and survival of many other related industries in the economy of the country as well.

There are many technologies implemented in the US agriculture sector like Precision Agriculture and Indoor Vertical Farming. The government continues to support and invest in research as well. Only recently, USDA announced a $12.5 million investment where 76 small businesses would be supported to conduct high-quality research, catering to scientific challenges and opportunities in agriculture.

Some of the agritechs in the industry include Arcadia Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: RKDA), Apeel, Plenty, Indigo, GrubMarket and Ginkgo Bioworks. Indigo is provider of microbe-based plant protection products. Ginkgo Bioworks is known for gene editing-based cultured ingredients for agriculture.
