This week noticed a larger variety of agtech fundraises than regular, which is a brilliant spot contemplating how powerful the present fundraising surroundings is. Along with Monarch Tractor’s mega-raise, Micropep raised new capital to gas its biopesticide enterprise, Oceano Fresco obtained funding for its sustainable aquaculture platform, and NoPalm Components landed funds for its palm oil substitutes.
