GlobalMet

What GlobalMet does

GlobalMet (legal entity Globalmet SAPI de CV) is a Mexican agtech company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Hermosillo, Sonora, that provides hyperlocalized meteorological forecasting and on-farm environmental monitoring for commercial agricultural producers. Its core platform, the "GlobalWeather Brain," combines 16 numerical weather prediction models with data from customer-deployed IoT weather stations and field sensors to deliver field-specific agrometeorological forecasts covering more than 15 variables including temperature, humidity, evapotranspiration, degree days, frost risk, VPD, and disease pressure indicators. The company currently operates across Mexico, Chile, Peru, and the United States.

The company sells a vertically integrated stack: three hardware tiers of weather stations (Basic WiFi, Complete WiFi, and Solar-Autonomous), a growing portfolio of agricultural sensors (soil moisture, TDR soil analysis, PAR and total solar radiation, leaf moisture, temperature/humidity, radar level), the GlobalMet mobile application, a programmatic API, and subscription services for personalized agroclimatic forecasting, custom meteorological reports, and (most recently) maritime intelligence. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, annual subscriptions that include 24/7 WhatsApp-based meteorologist advisory and Zoom adjustment meetings, and pay-as-you-go API access. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; distribution is direct via WhatsApp, email, website forms, and on-site technical field consultation with no apparent reseller channel.

GlobalMet serves a customer base of more than 25 named enterprise agricultural groups including Grupo Alta, Grupo Molina, Agrofesa, Hortifrut, BerryMex, AvoAmerica, RancoCherries, Agroberries, and DaviddelCurto, with documented use cases spanning cherry, avocado, berry, kiwi, citrus, walnut and grape production. The company has been recognized through the 2014 CNN Expansión Emprendedores award, the 2014 IBM Top 5 Tech Companies in Mexico designation, the 2014 Sonora State Youth Award, and the 2025 selection by the UK Government and Royal Academy of Engineering as one of the 10 best technology companies in the region. No external venture or growth funding, institutional investor, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed in the source data; the company appears to be bootstrapped and privately held.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• CropX: CropX provides soil-sensor-driven irrigation and agronomic intelligence. Adjacent peer with overlapping sensor technology and farm-decision-support, but more focused on soil/water than full-spectrum ag-weather forecasting.
• Arable: Arable builds all-in-one weather and crop sensors plus a data platform for agriculture. Comparable to GlobalMet's IoT-plus-analytics stack, though more oriented to broad-acre and specialty crops and not focused on LatAm horticulture.

Regional players

• Agrosmart: Brazilian ag-tech platform combining on-farm weather stations, soil sensors, and agronomic analytics for Latin American producers. Comparable regional peer that competes in similar ag-weather + IoT + advisory stack across Latin America.

Direct peers

• DTN: DTN provides agricultural weather, market, and commodity intelligence to farmers and agribusinesses globally. It is one of the most direct competitors to GlobalMet in ag-weather forecasting and decision support, particularly across the Americas.
• Sencrop: Sencrop sells connected ag-weather stations and a farmer weather app across Europe and Latin America. Directly comparable to GlobalMet in the on-farm IoT weather station plus subscription forecast model.
• Pessl Instruments (METOS): METOS by Pessl Instruments provides agricultural weather stations, soil sensors, and field-data platforms globally. Directly comparable to GlobalMet in hardware-plus-software ag-meteorology, with a similar global footprint in specialty crops.
• Davis Instruments: Davis Instruments manufactures Vantage Pro weather stations that GlobalMet explicitly uses/references in its product line. Comparable as a weather-station hardware vendor and adjacent supplier; competes on hardware while GlobalMet wraps services around similar devices.
• aWhere: aWhere delivers hyperlocal agricultural weather data, forecasts, and crop analytics globally. Directly comparable to GlobalMet in offering field-level forecasts tailored for agricultural decision-making in emerging markets.

Broad incumbents

• Bayer Climate FieldView: Climate FieldView (formerly Climate Corp) is the largest farm-management platform, ingesting weather, satellite, and field data to drive agronomic decisions. Comparable as a broader incumbent that bundles weather intelligence with digital agronomy, though more oriented to row crops than horticulture.
• IBM / The Weather Company: IBM's Environmental Intelligence Suite (built on The Weather Company assets) offers enterprise weather data, forecasting APIs, and agricultural decision tools. Comparable as a much larger incumbent providing ag-relevant forecasts and APIs, including in Latin America.
