AgDataHub

What AgDataHub does

AgDataHub operated a sovereign French and European data intermediation platform for the agricultural and agri-food sectors, structured around three products: EXCHANGE (a SaaS data marketplace accessible at platform.api-agro.eu, with technology operated by Dawex) for cataloguing, transacting, and delivering qualified data offers between sector players; CONSENT (marketed under the Agritrust brand at agritrust.fr, with infrastructure managed by Orange Business) for blockchain-based Agricultural Digital Identity and farmer authorization management, including 1,000 recorded permissions per subscription; and CapData Services, a consulting module for data diagnosis, prototyping, and deployment starting at €12,000. The platform was built on a Gaia-X-compliant multi-tenant architecture and targeted data covering 400,000 French farms across plot management, intervention records, livestock nutrition, logistics, and traceability use cases.

The company monetized through annual subscriptions (data consumer tiers from €4,500, data holder tiers from €6,990 to €10,125, consent management at €9,600/year), usage-based add-ons, transaction fees on monetized data exchanges, and professional services. Go-to-market combined self-service SaaS access with a sales-led motion for enterprise accounts, supported by regional offices in Paris, Bordeaux, and Lyon. Customer segments included agricultural cooperatives, agri-food manufacturers, grain merchants, AgriTech startups, chambers of agriculture, agricultural machinery firms, livestock organizations, and public bodies; named enterprise users included Terres Univia, AI Cargo, FoodPilot, 2BS, FarmLEAP, and MesParcelles.

Founded in 2017 by approximately 30 sector players under the API-Agro SAS holding, AgDataHub raised roughly €7.6M cumulatively across a November 2020 round and a €4.8M March 2023 round from API-Agro, Avril, InVivo, Capgemini, IN Groupe, and Banque des Territoires (the latter investing on behalf of the French State under France 2030). The company secured Gaia-X Day-1 membership and June 2024 EU Data Intermediary registration. In November 2024 the original entity filed for judicial liquidation citing an unsustainable business model without further public funding; in February 2025 Netframe acquired the technical assets to continue operating the agricultural data infrastructure under new ownership.

Core offering

AgDataHub operates a sovereign data intermediation SaaS platform enabling agricultural and agri-food sector players to securely exchange, share, and monetize data. It combines the EXCHANGE platform for catalog access, transactions, and data retrieval with CONSENT, a blockchain-based Agricultural Digital Identity and farmer permission management service. The platform also provides consulting services (CapData) for data strategy and project deployment across cooperatives, manufacturers, merchants, and public bodies.

Product overview

AgDataHub operates as a unified data intermediation platform combining three integrated products: EXCHANGE (data intermediation SaaS for multi-sector agricultural data exchange, available at platform.api-agro.eu), CONSENT (blockchain-based farm consent and Agricultural Digital Identity management, accessible via agritrust.fr and a mobile app), and CapData Services (consulting module for data strategy, compliance, prototyping, and use-case deployment). The platform serves as a trusted third-party infrastructure enabling secure, authorised, and monetised circulation of agricultural and agri-food data across France and Europe.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Dawex: French data marketplace and exchange platform operator. Dawex already powers AgDataHub's EXCHANGE product, making it both a peer and infrastructure partner in agricultural data intermediation.
• 365FarmNet: European FMIS and farm data platform operated in partnership with AGCO and Claas. Competes directly for the cooperative/farm data hub layer that AgDataHub's EXCHANGE integrates with.

Emerging players

• InVivo (Digital/Cooperative): Major French agricultural cooperative group and AgDataHub investor building digital services for farmers. Competes in the agricultural digital infrastructure space through its own subsidiaries (e.g., Soufflet Agriculture, Be Api).
• xFarm Technologies: European precision agriculture and farm management platform serving cooperatives and farmers. Competes in the FMIS/data layer with stronger farmer-facing tools but less of a neutral intermediation role.

Broad incumbents

• AWS Data Exchange: Cloud-scale data marketplace from Amazon. Competes for third-party agricultural and agri-food data publishing, with vastly broader catalog reach but without AgDataHub's sector-specific consent, identity, or EU-sovereignty positioning.
• Snowflake Data Marketplace: Cloud data platform with a built-in data marketplace enabling governed sharing of datasets. Adjacent to AgDataHub's data intermediation use case for agri-food clients, with stronger analytics integration but no agricultural specialization.
• Microsoft Azure Data Share: Microsoft's managed data-sharing service. Competes for cross-organization data exchange workloads including agricultural use cases, with stronger enterprise tooling but no agricultural vertical depth or farmer identity layer.
• Bayer Climate FieldView: Bayer-owned digital agriculture platform collecting and exchanging farm data across millions of hectares. A vertical incumbent that bypasses neutral intermediaries by owning both the agronomic data and the farmer interface.
• John Deere Operations Center: John Deere's cloud platform for farm machinery data, agronomic records, and partner integrations. Represents the machinery-vendor approach to agricultural data exchange that competes with neutral intermediaries.

Others

• Orange Business (Data & Identity Services): Global telecom operator providing blockchain-based identity and trusted intermediary infrastructure. Already powers AgDataHub's CONSENT service; a potential competitor or alternative integrator if the partnership dissolves post-acquisition.
