xFarm Technologies, a company specializing in digital solutions for agriculture, has announced a strategic partnership with Brazil-based AgTech firm Checkplant. This collaboration marks an important step in xFarm Technologies‘ efforts to expand its presence beyond Europe and establish itself as a key player in the Latin American market. With Brazil being one of the largest agricultural producers in the world, this move allows both companies to combine their expertise and offer more comprehensive digital solutions to farmers and agrobusinesses across the region.
Strengthening Digital Agriculture on a Global Scale
xFarm Technologies has steadily grown its influence across Europe, providing digital tools that enhance farm management and supply chain efficiency. The company supports over 500,000 farms, tracking an area of 8.3 million hectares through a network of over a hundred large agricultural enterprises. In October 2024, xFarm Technologies secured €36 million in Series C funding, further solidifying its ability to scale its operations and innovate within the agricultural technology sector.
Meanwhile, Checkplant has been a key player in Brazil’s agricultural digitalization efforts for more than two decades. The company’s Farmbox platform is widely used for field management and monitoring, particularly in Mato Grosso, Bahia, Paraná, and Goiás. Notably, Checkplant services approximately 50% of Brazil’s cotton plantations and 11% of the nation’s soybean farms, reflecting its deep integration within the country’s farming landscape.
This partnership is expected to enhance the digitalization of agriculture in Brazil by integrating xFarm Technologies’ European expertise with Checkplant’s established presence and local knowledge. With both companies joining forces, farmers and agrobusinesses will have access to more sophisticated decision-support tools that facilitate efficiency, traceability, and sustainability.

Expanding Operations in Brazil and Beyond
“I am thrilled to announce this operation with Checkplant, a company with such a remarkable track record and with whom we share not only an approach to agriculture, but also extensive experience and many values. We will now be able to scale our operations much faster in Brazil, a global agricultural powerhouse, where we now have the opportunity to implement everything we are doing in the European market to help our B2B customers cover their entire supply chain and ensure greater traceability and sustainability, also through regenerative agriculture practices. Farmers around the world are facing enormous challenges today, and our goal has always been to be their ally on a global scale.”
Brazil’s role as a leading exporter of agricultural commodities such as coffee, sugarcane, soybeans, and cereals makes it a crucial market for digital transformation in farming. xFarm Technologies has already established a presence in Brazil, with a team actively engaged in projects focusing on traceability, regenerative agriculture, and MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification). This new collaboration will allow xFarm Technologies to scale its operations more effectively within the country, replicating the successful strategies it has implemented in Europe.
A Unified Vision for Smarter Agriculture
“From our first interactions with the xFarm Technologies’ team, I saw the potential to take this project to the next level, seeing opportunities that we hadn’t been able to achieve on our own. Now, we’re expanding and advancing our mission to deliver innovative solutions that transform agriculture. Together, we are combining our Brazilian agribusiness expertise with the global vision and advanced technology of xFarm Technologies. As a single company, we’re better positioned to serve farmers across all segments with tools that improve efficiency, promote sustainability and create value at every stage of production. We’re ready to take digital agriculture to unprecedented heights, benefiting both farmers and the entire production chain,”
André Cantarelli, CEO, Checkplant
By working together, xFarm Technologies and Checkplant will now be able to support farmers managing over 12 million hectares worldwide. Both companies bring proprietary platforms to the table—xFarm and Farmbox—which offer a suite of digital solutions including Decision Support Systems (DSS) and agronomic models. These platforms allow farmers to make informed, data-driven decisions, optimize field operations, and maintain thorough records of their activities.
Bridging Small and Large-Scale Farming
One of the key advantages of this partnership is the complementary nature of the two companies’ expertise. xFarm Technologies has significant experience working with small and medium-sized farms, as well as supply chain projects, while Checkplant has built strong relationships with large-scale farms, some exceeding 1,000 hectares. This combined knowledge base ensures that agricultural enterprises of all sizes can benefit from tailored digital solutions that meet their specific needs.
By leveraging their respective strengths, xFarm Technologies and Checkplant aim to make advanced agricultural technology more accessible and practical for farmers in Brazil and beyond. The partnership is set to bring significant improvements in productivity, sustainability, and traceability while helping agrobusinesses navigate the increasing complexities of modern food production.
As the global agricultural sector continues to evolve, digital tools will play an increasingly vital role in ensuring efficiency and sustainability. With this strategic collaboration, xFarm Technologies and Checkplant are positioning themselves at the forefront of this transformation, offering farmers the resources they need to optimize operations and contribute to a more resilient agricultural industry.
