Raizar Agro is a Uruguayan agricultural inputs supplier that provides crop protection, nutrition, and smart farming solutions to potato growers. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and technologies designed to improve productivity and sustainability in potato cultivation across Uruguay. Its integrated approach combines high-quality inputs with technical expertise to support potato farmers from planting through harvest.
Raizar Agro was created from the merger of three established Uruguayan agricultural companies: Agroenfoque, Lanafil, and Procampo. Lanafil had been operating for over 70 years before the merger, bringing deep experience in the agricultural sector. The company operates across Uruguay with offices in Montevideo, Canelones, San José, and Rocha, and maintains an experimental field in Palmitas, Soriano, as well as a technical station in Montevideo for research and development activities. Since 2019, Raizar Agro has been the exclusive representative of Taranis, an Israeli AI-based crop monitoring platform, in Uruguay, providing potato farmers with advanced digital tools for field management and decision support. The company's reach extends across the local market with a network of suppliers and logistics partners.
