Israel’s agtech industry remains a global leader, with continued investment and technological advancements shaping the sector in 2025. Despite a 30% decline from 2022, agrifood-tech investments totaled $1.3 billion in 2024, with robotics and farm equipment startups attracting over 30% of the funding. The country’s agtech ecosystem includes more than 750 companies, with industry leaders such as Netafim (drip irrigation), ADAMA (crop protection), Taranis (AI-driven precision agriculture), and CropX (soil analytics) at the forefront.
Key trends driving innovation include AI-powered precision nutrition, solar-powered irrigation, synthetic biology, and bioconversion technologies. With a projected market growth of $2.76 billion by 2028, Israel continues to leverage its expertise in agricultural technology, particularly in arid environments. While challenges such as limited arable land and scaling R&D startups persist, the country’s strong focus on AI, machine learning, and sustainability ensures its position as a pioneer in global agtech advancements.
