Nutrien Completes Sale of Profertil Stake
Nutrien completed the sale of its 50% equity position in Profertil S.A. to Adecoagro S.A. and Asociacion de Cooperativas Argentinas Coop Ltda.
Canada’s AgTech market is scaling through a mix of private capital, institutional funding, and steady commercialization across crop protection, controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), and digital farm services—based on entries tracked in the iGrow Dashboard. Recent activity includes growth and early-stage financings (e.g., BinSentry, GoodLeaf Farms, Verdi, Maia Farms), alongside ongoing government- and institution-linked support such as FCC Capital and BDC-backed funds and programs.
Commercial momentum is especially visible in crop protection and biologicals, with frequent product launches and label expansions (e.g., Vive Crop Protection, Bayer Crop Science Canada, Cascadia Seaweed). In parallel, greenhouse and vertical farming projects continue to expand in regions like Quebec and British Columbia, supported by partnerships that accelerate deployment and integration. The dataset also reflects selective consolidation and pressure points, including M&A (e.g., Growcer acquiring Freight Farms’ assets) and at least one vertical farming shutdown.
