Mitti Labs combines SAR satellite imagery, proprietary field datasets, and AI to create digital twins of individual rice fields that monitor crop conditions, water use, and methane emissions. Since launching its first programs in 2023, the startup grew from working with about 8,000 farmers in its first season to more than 100,000 in the following season and now employs over 150 people. Mitti Labs generates revenue from carbon credits and its GeoAI platform and counts customers such as carbon marketplace Cool Effect, rice producer Ebro Foods, and Syngenta. The company says its programs enable farmers to cut water use by about 40% and reduce methane emissions by more than 50% without affecting yields while creating additional income through carbon credits. With the new funding, Mitti Labs plans to expand into the Philippines later in the year and to Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets in 2027 to serve compliance carbon markets and broaden its data generation across different ecosystems.

The company reports that its technology offers greater performance with significantly lower energy consumption and capital costs compared with leading market alternatives.
