Progressus

What Progressus does

Progressus AgriSchools, a brand of Athene Consulting Co., Ltd. (a private company incorporated in the Kingdom of Thailand), provides technical and professional development training for the agribusiness sector across Asia. The company was founded circa 2020 and has operated training programs for over ten years across poultry, dairy, aquaculture, swine, feed milling, and agribusiness sales verticals, serving participants in Thailand, China, the Philippines, India, and Bangladesh.

The core product portfolio consists of two modalities. The in-person offering is a recurring calendar of multi-day AgriSchools held at venues in Bangkok, covering Broiler, Dairy Management, Farm House Ventilation Poultry, Aqua Feed Milling, Pet Food Masterclass, Livestock Feed Mill, Layer Production, Advanced Aqua Nutrition, Swine Production, and Broiler Breeder Management programs. The online offering is a self-paced, on-demand learning platform hosted on TalentLMS (onlineagrischools.talentlms.com), delivering courses such as the IPRS In-Land Fresh Water Fish Culture program at approximately $380 per participant with three months of unlimited access, video content, assessments, and certificates of completion. The technology stack is conventional: a Wix-hosted marketing site, TalentLMS for course delivery, and standard content/video production, with no proprietary AI/ML components.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-course and per-program fees (with 7% VAT applied and a 3% surcharge on credit-card payments), customized in-house corporate workshops, and event sponsorships. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct-sales-led, with named facilitators drawn from major industry firms including Aviagen, Food Chain Enterprises, Agentis Innovations, and Trouw Nutrition Asia Pacific. The company also maintains a content marketing engine (AgriTalk blog, Agri-Talk Podcast on YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook pages, email newsletter) and a strategic co-development partnership with the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) for aquaculture training programs. No external venture funding, acquisitions, or public listing are evidenced.
