This is CropX's eighth acquisition since 2020 and marks another major step toward building the world's most comprehensive agricultural intelligence platform.
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CropX Technologies, a global leader in digital agronomy solutions, announced today the acquisition of SCIO, a global leader in portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for agriculture and the food industry.
Together, the companies connect intelligence across the agricultural lifecycle from soil and crop development to harvest, quality analysis and post-harvest operations. SCIO adds laboratory-grade measurement of crop quality and composition, connecting CropX's agronomic recommendations with real-world outcomes. This creates a continuous feedback loop where measured outcomes can strengthen future insights and recommendations laying the foundation for a self-improving agronomic intelligence platform.
SCIO brings to CropX a strong portfolio of enterprise customers, expanding CropX's reach across the global agricultural value chain.
SCIO also brings one of the industry's most differentiated sensing technologies, protected by 44 granted patents. Beyond its technology, SCIO adds a rapidly growing SaaS business with a clear path to profitability. Combined with meaningful commercial synergies and cross-selling opportunities, the acquisition strengthens CropX strategically, commercially and financially. The company has raised $64M since its inception.
"The future of agronomy isn't just about making recommendations. It's learning from outcomes," said Tomer Tzach, CEO of CropX. "SCIO gives us the missing piece. By connecting agronomic recommendations with harvest and quality outcomes, we're laying the foundation for a new generation of agronomic intelligence and accelerating our vision of building agriculture's most comprehensive intelligence platform."
"Joining CropX gives SCIO the opportunity to bring our technology to a much broader global market," said Avi Rosenbaum, Head of Sales at SCIO. "CropX's global reach, strong customer relationships and established presence across agriculture can accelerate adoption of our technology and open significant new opportunities worldwide."
Headquartered in the United States, SCIO shares the same innovation-driven DNA as CropX. Together, the companies are shaping the next generation of agronomic intelligence.
