Main Stage
  • With tightening margins, high interest rates, and sector consolidation, how can agri-fintech help producers remain competitive?
  • How are fintech platforms expanding access to finance for underserved farmers, and how can they partner with traditional banks and insurers?
  • Why is crop insurance penetration so low in South America, and how can parametric insurance and climate‑risk products be designed to deliver value to farmers while remaining viable for insurers?
  • What tangible use cases are emerging for crypto and tokenization in agriculture? Is it mostly hype, or are real use cases emerging?
  • To what extent are input suppliers and commodity traders shifting toward direct-to-farmer models, and what does this mean for efficiency, margins, and value-chain power dynamics?
