Orbia’s Precision Agriculture Holds Steady in Orbia’s Q2 2025 Performance
In its Q2 2025 earnings report, Orbia Advance Corporation highlighted steady growth in its Precision Agriculture segment (Netafim), amid broader market variability across its portfolio. The segment delivered $288 million in revenue, a 2% year-over-year increase, and $40 million in EBITDA, a 1% rise compared to Q2 2024. The EBITDA margin stood at 13.8%, only slightly lower by 14 basis points.
Growth was primarily driven by improved sales in Brazil, the United States, and Peru, while performance in Mexico, Chile, and greenhouse-related projects remained weaker. The company attributed the segment’s resilience to favorable market conditions in key regions and an effective product mix.
Strategic Priorities: Cost Control and Targeted Growth in Agriculture
According to Orbia, the Precision Agriculture segment remains a key focus in 2025, with an emphasis on expanding irrigation solutions into extensive crops, improving digital farming adoption, and maintaining a disciplined cost structure. The company continues to invest in irrigation systems and services that help farmers increase yields while reducing water and input use.
Looking ahead, Orbia expects the agriculture segment to maintain stable to slightly improving conditions, supported by recent positive momentum in markets like Brazil, Turkey, and Africa. Projects in Africa are also expected to contribute meaningfully in the second half of the year.
Outlook For Orbia: Modest Optimism Backed by Regional Opportunities

The company reaffirmed its full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion, with continued investment in its agricultural offerings.
