Agri startups backed by VC firm Omnivore reached 20.8M smallholder farmers and 61,711 rural MSMEs across India. The portfolio generated $5.64B in combined economic value for farmers.
Agrifood startups backed by venture capital firm Omnivore have reached 20.81 million smallholder farmers and 61,711 rural micro, small and medium enterprises across India, the firm said in its 2026 Impact Reports for two funds.
The reports cover the Omnivore Partners India Fund (OPIF, Vintage 2018) and the Omnivore Agrifood and Climate Sustainability Fund (OACSF, Vintage 2023). Omnivore said the reports use global impact measurement and benchmarking methodologies to track outcomes across the portfolio.
Omnivore's portfolio includes DeHaat, Arya.ag, Sid's Farm, Varaha, Farmley, and Pixxel.
Across the two funds, portfolio companies have generated $5.64 billion in combined economic value for smallholder farmers directly and indirectly. The reports record 11.55 million hectares under sustainable agriculture, with metrics also tracking GHG emissions avoided, quantity of healthy and nutritious food sold to consumers, loans enabled for MSMEs, and insurance coverage enabled for rural households, the firm said.
“The agrifood sector is creating businesses that can deliver both commercial value and meaningful outcomes for farmers, rural businesses and the environment. As this ecosystem grows, it is important that we have the frameworks and evidence to understand what that impact looks like,” said Sanskriti Kapoor, Vice President, ESG and Impact at Omnivore.
The portfolio's impact extends to financial inclusion. The funds provided $2.18 billion in insurance coverage to rural households and $63.62 million in loans to rural MSMEs, Omnivore said.
Omnivore has invested in India's agriculture and food economy since 2011. Its portfolio has expanded from technology-led agricultural businesses into climate, deeptech, rural finance, food, and consumer markets.
