Dagan Agricultural Automations

What Dagan Agricultural Automations does

Dagan Agricultural Automations is a privately held Israeli family business founded in 1982 by Ran Dagan, specializing in turnkey agricultural automation projects delivered to governments, research institutions, and commercial enterprises across multiple continents. Its core product portfolio covers climate-controlled greenhouses (research, medical cannabis, tourism, and urban agriculture applications), aquaculture systems including Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) with AI-based monitoring and offshore cage farming, integrated poultry farms, plant nurseries, and AgriSolar solar tracking systems, complemented by automation modules for irrigation, climate control, lighting, and heating/cooling. The company monetizes through one-time project contracts (feasibility study, design, construction, operational handover) plus recurring professional services for agronomist support, staff training, and ongoing maintenance of installed systems, with pricing set on a project-specific, quote-based basis.

Underlying technology includes patented solar tracking (AgriSolar) and patented aquaponic smart farming integration, as well as computer-controlled waterproof electrical and climate systems and AI-integrated RAS monitoring that autonomously corrects water parameters to protect stock. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, leveraging bilateral government relationships (notably Israeli Ministry of Economy-backed engagements in China, Vietnam, and Mongolia) and a multilingual website supporting English, Spanish, Russian, French, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Chinese. Select reference customers include the Governments of Ghana, Mongolia, Vietnam, and China, Weizmann Institute, Kasetsart University Thailand, and Fujian Academy of Agriculture, with completed projects in Israel, China, Ghana, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, USA, Germany, and Japan. The company operates with 1–10 employees from its headquarters at Moshav Haniel, Israel, and has not raised external funding.
