Ranking the top Crop Tech companies in the United States by disclosed equity funding, this directory tracks 3,179 ventures carrying $26.3B in total raised capital and seven unicorns. Those headline numbers are striking. But the revenue picture is where things get interesting, and honestly a little sobering. Across 13 validated filers, the median company is pulling roughly $5M in annual revenue with a median growth rate of negative 9% year over year. The combined revenue pool of those filers sits at approximately $1.4B, and two names are doing the heavy lifting: SiteOne Landscape Supply at $940M and Raven Industries at $348M. Strip those two out and the rest of the field is comparatively thin.
So what does that tell you? Funding momentum is real, with hot themes like precision planting equipment, farm management software, and controlled environment agriculture drawing serious capital from backers including the USDA and the National Science Foundation. But earned revenue hasn't caught up to the capital story yet. The bright spots are worth noting: Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group posted $40M in revenue at 31% growth, and SiteOne's net income of $59M runs 42 times the sector median of $1M. The gap between the biggest earners and the median filer is wide enough to drive a combine through.
