Planten is an agri-business initiative with headquarters in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We help farmers to change the way they grow crops. We promote innovation and invest in creating a more sustainable agriculture system that benefits farmers, businesses, and society while protecting nature.
Our core businesses –
- Promote high-yielding, climate-resilient, and affordable seeds.
- Connect farmers with upstream and downstream market actors to improve business practices (business volume and fair prices).
- Provide commercially viable agtech solutions to the challenges in the agriculture sector.

OUR VISION: To be a leading agtech company in Bangladesh. Smallholder farming households face a triple burden –
a) Produce more food with fewer resources
b) Decrease crop productivity and increase harvest loss, and
c) Low food prices due to poor networking and connection
Planten is able to play a critical role in devising solutions to tackle these challenges.
OUR MISSION: We bring agriculture innovation to farmers’ doorstep.
