Two Swiss Agritechs fuse their businesses together

Gamaya and Terraview have merged, combining their AI-powered platforms to enhance sustainability and climate resiliency in global food production. This strategic move aims to address decarbonization and water efficiency in sugarcane and grape crops, with plans to expand into additional value chains and new markets. The merged company will operate under the GAMAYA brand.

Over the last 9 years, GAMAYA has built and tested its flagship product ‘CanaSight’ which is used by sugarcane growers in Brazil, LATAM, the USA, Africa, and India. The company recently released ‘CanaTrace’, a monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) toolset that enables the decarbonization of sugarcane farming. Today, it is one of the top 3 products, globally, serving over 1.5m hectares of farmland and partnerships with leading industry players.

Terraview GmbH, on the other hand, has over the past five years become a global leader in the grape (especially wine grapes) crop value chain. Its flagship product ‘TerraviewOS’ solves production, risk and irrigation forecasts across 35+ vineyards in Spain, the US and Australia. ‘Aquaview’ is a native AI product, built to offer near real-time irrigation insights with minimal infrastructure.

Aiming to build a more comprehensive offer for regenerative agriculture, GAMAYA and Terraview have merged their businesses. This comes at a time when the agriculture sector demands advanced, reliable, and sustainable solutions to combat the pressures of climate change. The companies will leverage their technological leadership positions to create comprehensive agronomic intelligence tools designed to meet these challenges head-on. Working with customers across the value chain, GAMAYA and Terraview will cross-leverage their crop knowledge, sectorial understanding, and existing products to solve for unmet needs within agriculture, creating complete, robustly tested, and scalable solutions that add tangible value and impact.

Following the business fusion, the new entity will operate under GAMAYA brand, with Yury Vasilkov serving as CEO and Board Member while Piyush Harsh from Terraview will become Chief Science Officer and serve as Board Member.

Yury Vasilkov, CEO: “With this merger, we can unlock a $10bn+ market opportunity. Decarbonisation and cost-effective water use will be the top priority for agriculture in the coming years, and we are well positioned to address these opportunities, starting from the crops where we are the strongest players today.”

Piyush Harsh, Chief Science Officer: “By joining forces and integrating our technology offer, we will create a significant impact for farmers worldwide — not only improving sustainability in the face of resource constraints but also their profitability and community livelihoods.”

Key investors, including Seed4Equity, Glasshouse (Peter Brabeck-Letmathe Family office), ICOS Capital, the Mahindra Group, VI Partners, and Binny Bansal’s 3SV (Three State Ventures), back this merger, recognizing its potential for significant global impact across the agriculture industry.
