Agriodor, a France-based agricultural technology company, has raised €15 million (~$16 million) in a Series A round to support the expansion of its crop protection technology into Europe, North America and Latin America. The round was led by Crédit Mutuel Impact through its Environmental and Solidarity Revolution Fund, with participation from Région Sud Investissement, CAAP Création, Capagro, CapHorn and SWEN Capital Partners. Founded in 2019 as a spin-off from INRAE, the company develops crop protection products based on plant-derived compounds that influence insect behavior. The approach is intended to reduce reliance on conventional insecticides by attracting, repelling or disrupting pests. Proceeds from the funding will be used to expand research and development, scale the company’s technology platform and support commercial rollout in international markets. ADVERTISEMENT Agriodor’s first product, targeting aphids in sugar beet, is being deployed in France under an agreement with Syngenta. The company is developing additional applications across other crops and pest categories, including fruit flies and whiteflies. The technology relies on reproducing naturally occurring plant signals to alter insect behavior. The company says this allows for shorter development timelines and lower costs compared with conventional pesticide development. Agriodor employs 42 people across research sites in Rennes and Aix-en-Provence and holds eight patents across three patent families. It has established research partnerships in Europe, China and Brazil as it expands its development pipeline.
