After announcing the deal last week, Tzach told AgTechNavigator: “What motivated us to acquire Acclym was their strong relationships with leading global food and beverage companies, relationships that are hard to build in such a demanding market.”
The acquisition expands its existing enterprise reach and accelerates its ability to serve the largest players in agriculture, he told us.
Acclym, formerly known as Agritask, provides data-driven agricultural sourcing solutions to food and beverage enterprises globally, while CropX has deployed farm management solutions in over 70 countries. Its flagship product, the app-based CropX agronomic farm management system, synthesises soil and satellite data from the soil to offer farmers and agribusinesses a suite of digital agronomic decision and planning tools.
The Acclym purchase “adds powerful tools for sustainability, regenerative agriculture, and ESG compliance, areas where enterprises are under pressure to show real, measurable progress,” Tzach added. “Together, we can connect agronomic insights from the field directly to corporate strategy, driving both business value and sustainability impact.”
Reshaping offerings to large food brands
The acquisition is an opportunity to reshape CropX’s offerings to large food brands, he stressed. “CropX already serves enterprise customers, but Acclym adds another layer of flexibility to tailor our technology to the unique needs of global food and beverage companies,” he explained.
CropX can now connect sustainability metrics, such as regenerative practices, compliance, and environmental performance, directly to agronomic data, which is CropX’s core strength. The result is a platform that “empowers corporations to measure, report, and act on sustainability goals with the same rigor they manage production and procurement”.
“This deal reflects the broader moment our industry is in. Agtech is full of small, innovative companies building great technologies, but many struggle to scale in a complex, fragmented market.”

In addition, Acclym “speaks the corporate sustainability language, making it easier for enterprises to align agricultural practices with their ESG and regenerative agriculture commitments.”
The power of this combination is to unifies deep, accurate field-level agronomy with enterprise sustainability reporting, he claimed. “CropX’s global network of proprietary soil and agronomic sensors, together with our advanced decision-support tools and strong R&D teams, provides enterprises with reliable, real-time data and accelerates the development of new capabilities. Acclym strengthens this by structuring complex agricultural data into the language of sustainability, regenerative agriculture, and ESG compliance.”
Sector significance
This acquisition also connects two worlds that have long been disconnected: the field and the boardroom, said Tzach. That connection is critical for making real progress in sustainability, he believes. “Until now, most companies have relied on academic estimates or gut assumptions to measure environmental impact. By integrating verifiable field-level data with enterprise-scale sustainability intelligence, we’re giving companies the ability to actually track and improve outcomes, because you can’t improve what you can’t measure.
“At the same time, this deal reflects the broader moment our industry is in, Tzach added. “Agtech is full of small, innovative companies building great technologies, but many struggle to scale in a complex, fragmented market. CropX’s M&A strategy addresses this challenge.”
Commitment to M&A as a core growth strategy
This is CropX’s seventh acquisition following its 2024 acquisition of nitrogen sensor innovator EnGeniousAg and 2023 acquisition of Australia’s Green Brain, reflecting a commitment to M&A as a core growth strategy for the company.
“We fund these deals through a blend of equity and cash,” Tzach said (CropX has raised a total of around $51.4 million across 10 funding rounds). “We’ll soon be launching a new funding round to support the continued expansion of our platform.”
Each acquisition, he noted, “strengthens our platform, accelerates our growth, and ensures valuable technologies reach the farmers and enterprises who need them. It’s a win–win for innovators, for CropX, for the industry, and for the planet.”
