AGRInnova II is inviting joint applications from Latin American and Caribbean agribusinesses and Israeli climate-smart agriculture technology providers to implement funded pilot solutions that address real agricultural challenges.
The program supports climate-smart agriculture, pilot-ready partnerships, agricultural productivity, supply chains, food security, adoption of proven technologies, closing knowledge gaps, reducing risks in piloting new approaches, productivity, efficiency, environmental sustainability, climate resilience, agribusiness profitability, operational performance, technology validation in real field conditions, and scaling innovative climate-smart agriculture solutions in Latin America and the Caribbean.
AGRInnova II is a funded pilot program designed to support partnerships that have already identified a specific challenge and a proposed solution. The program is intended for partners that are ready to move into a structured pilot with clear objectives, scope, timeline, budget, and implementation plans.
The open call is aimed at private-sector agribusinesses in Latin America and the Caribbean working together with Israeli climate-smart agriculture technology providers. Applications must be submitted jointly by both partners.
Selected pilot projects may receive funding of up to USD 150,000 per pilot. The program plans to select up to 10 pilot projects. IDB Invest will cover up to 80% of the total pilot cost, while the agribusiness must provide a minimum 20% cash contribution.
For agribusinesses, the program offers an opportunity to test innovative climate-smart agriculture technologies that address operational challenges, improve productivity and efficiency, and strengthen environmental sustainability.
For technology providers, the program offers an opportunity to implement a funded pilot with a committed agribusiness partner, validate technology in real field conditions, build commercial opportunities in new markets, and pilot solutions with leading agribusiness partners in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The application process requires partners to form a partnership, define a pilot concept, submit a joint application, complete evaluation and selection, and move forward with pilot implementation if selected. Applications will be evaluated based on the relevance of the challenge and context, quality and feasibility of the pilot proposal, partnership readiness and commitment, and the technology solution, provider capacity, and scaling potential.
The minimum requirements include a defined pilot concept with objectives, scope, timeline, and budget, signed commitment from both parties, and operational readiness to implement a pilot during the 2026–2027 agricultural season.
