Agridence Acquires farmer connect to Strengthen Compliance and Traceability in Global Agriculture Supply Chains

Singapore, August 19, 2025: Agridence Grp Holdings Pte. Ltd. ("Agridence"), a Singapore-based provider of digital agri-commodity supply chain solutions, has acquired European compliance and traceability platform farmer connect. The move, supported by a fresh round of investment, aims to create a unified platform that helps agribusinesses meet European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requirements and broader ESG standards across multiple commodities.

The combined offering will deliver polygon-level farm mapping, deforestation risk monitoring, supply chain tracking, and automated data aggregation to support compliance reporting. It will also provide end-to-end visibility for key commodities such as coffee, cocoa, rubber, and palm oil.

"Agridence and farmer connect bring together complementary expertise—Agridence's deep upstream presence in Asia and farmer connect's strong downstream buyer compliance focus in Europe," said Gerald Tan, CEO and Founder of Agridence. "This augmented competency benefits Agridence's customers by providing access to a well-established EU-presence and gives farmer connect's customers sourcing access in Asia. We are now better positioned to help our customers navigate European regulations and demonstrate compliance through a trusted, end-to-end solution."

Stefano Rettore, Chairman of farmer connect, said the merger builds on the foundation developed by his team and stakeholders. "This acquisition builds on the strong foundation we developed at farmer connect. I want to thank our talented team, the dedicated board, and Sucafina for their continued support, each of whom played a critical role in making this possible. Many global agribusinesses, including large FMCGs, already use both farmer connect and Agridence platforms. Our clients have responded positively to this consolidation, recognizing that fewer platforms mean less complexity and greater efficiency. This merger unlocks new synergies and opportunities, enabling us to deliver even more value to the industry as it navigates growing compliance and sustainability requirements."

Agridence confirmed that existing farmer connect customers will continue to receive uninterrupted services. The integration is expected to enhance the platform’s compliance and traceability solutions while expanding its market presence.
