Singrow Expands Beyond Regional Markets
Singrow, a plant genomics and precision agriculture company, announced via AgFunder News that it has raised $4.5 million in Series A funding to scale operations and expand internationally. Headquartered in Singapore, Singrow has grown from a domestic business into a regional supplier with presence in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
Founder and CEO Dr. Bao Shengjie emphasized the company’s progress: “With such capacity build, we are not only supplying the China domestic market, we are further exporting the strawberries into Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. So it’s [turned] into a regional business.”
Singrow Strengthens Seedling and Genetics Capabilities
Among its milestones, Singrow established a propagation facility in China to produce new strawberry variants. Its Guangzhou farm in southern China remains its largest production site, supplemented by another facility in the north.
The company has also introduced climate-resilient strawberries trialed across Asia, enabling production in previously unsuitable environments. Beyond strawberries, Singrow unveiled technology that reduces the traditional growing and harvesting cycle for saffron.
Backed by Global Investors
The Series A round was led by Finc Pte. Ltd., Cyanhill Capital, Pasudeco, and Eastern Wind International, with continued support from Ritz Venture Partners and AgFunder.
Angela Tay, senior associate at AgFunder, explained why investors doubled down: “We see their platform at an inflection point—ready to scale globally and capture significant value in agritech. In the five years since AgFunder first backed Singrow, it has more than fulfilled its bold promise.”
Future Growth and Global Ambitions
With new funding, Singrow will expand its three main business lines: seedling production, vertical farming, and its reverse genetics breeding platform. The company aims to prioritize climate resilience, particularly with crops like heat-resistant strawberries.
By combining proprietary breeding techniques with controlled-environment agriculture, Singrow seeks to bring scalable solutions to both regional and global food systems.
