Infarm raises $200M in Series D funding

The company plans to significantly increase its presence to 100 Growing Centers in 20 countries

Infarm, a rapidly growing urban farming company with a global presence, announced that it has raised $200 million in a Series D funding round. The investment included participation from existing and new investors, including the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) – which will support the company’s expansion to countries in the Middle East – Partners in Equity, Hanaco, Atomico, Lightrock, and Bonnier.

The additional capital will serve to expand the deployment of the company’s vertical farms in the US, Canada, Japan and Europe, and to enter new markets in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East with both in-store farming units and Infarm Growing Centers. In 2023, Infarm will open its first Growing Center in Qatar, where it will harvest tomatoes, strawberries and other fruiting crops besides herbs, salads and leafy greens.

This new farming model can be as much as 400 times more efficient than soil-based agriculture and uses no chemical pesticides. It requires 95 per cent less land and uses 95 per cent less water by recycling water and nutrients and using the evaporated water of the plants.

Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE and UBS acted as financial advisors to Infarm on this transaction.
