USD 53 million) in a Series C funding round. The investment was led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationinvestments.com\/\" title=\"\">Creation Investments<\/a>, a Chicago-based private equity firm specializing in emerging market financial services, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syngentagroupventures.com\/\" title=\"\">Syngenta<\/a>, the agricultural input giant&#8217;s corporate venture capital arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding round is among the largest in Brazil&#8217;s agtech sector, second only to the R$ 60 million raised by Solinftec in 2022. The transaction reflects a growing interest in agribusiness technology, especially as the industry faces ongoing challenges, such as rising input costs and fluctuating commodity prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agrolend\u2019s funding round attracted a diverse range of investors, including L4 Ventures (B3\u2019s venture capital arm), Vivo Ventures, and Japan&#8217;s Norinchukin Bank, which manages approximately US$ 1 trillion in assets. Existing investors, such as Valor Capital, Lightrock, Yara Growth Ventures, SP Ventures, Provence Capital, and Barn Invest, also participated in the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital raised will boost Agrolend&#8217;s balance sheet and increase its lending capacity. The company plans to expand its portfolio to R$ 3 billion, serving approximately 10,000 rural producers. A portion of the funds will also be used to offer larger loans, ranging from R$ 5 million to R$ 50 million, targeting wholesale operations such as agricultural input distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agrolend operates through a fully digital platform, licensed as a credit, financing, and investment society by the Central Bank of Brazil. The company has already provided R$ 1.2 billion in credit to more than 12,000 rural producers. Its loans, typically for agricultural inputs such as seeds and fertilizers, come with interest rates ranging from 14% to 20%, depending on the collateral and loan duration. Despite a rise in default rates to 4% in 2024, Agrolend continues to see significant demand for its services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Agrolend levantou R$ 300 milh\u00f5es em um financiamento da S\u00e9rie C, liderado pela Creation Investments e pela Syngenta, para expandir o financiamento rural.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":16658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[332,410],"tags":[227,461,321,768,320,739],"class_list":["post-16657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-tribu","tag-brazil","tag-fin-tech","tag-funding","tag-sp-ventures","tag-startup","tag-syngenta"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Time-Agoralend-2023-1.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-19 20:48:08","action":"category","newStatus":"draft","terms":[337],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16657"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16659,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16657\/revisions\/16659"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tribu.la\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
