Agridence Grp Holdings Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based leader in digital agricommodity supply chain solutions, has acquired farmer connect, a European compliance and traceability platform. This strategic move, announced on 19 August 2025, aims to create a unified platform that aids agribusinesses in meeting regulatory compliance and supply chain transparency requirements across multiple commodities. The acquisition is bolstered by Agridence’s recent investment, enhancing its capacity to support global agricultural supply chains.
The merger combines Agridence’s strong upstream presence in Asia with farmer connect’s expertise in downstream buyer compliance in Europe. Gerald Tan, CEO and Founder of Agridence, stated, “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.”
The newly combined platform offers several key features:
– Compliance tools, including polygon-level farm mapping and deforestation risk monitoring.
– End-to-end visibility, ensuring data tracking from producers to export.
– Multi-commodity coverage, supporting coffee, cocoa, rubber, and palm oil.
– Automated ESG reporting to facilitate regulatory and market reporting.
The acquisition promises uninterrupted service for existing farmer connect customers whilst expanding platform capabilities and market reach. This integration aims to enhance compliance and traceability solutions, helping companies navigate evolving regulatory and sustainability challenges.
