XpertSea, a Canadian company transforming how seafood is farmed and traded, has been awarded the 2021 AgTech Breakthrough Award for Trading Solution of the Year.

XpertSea won for its data-driven marketplace, which uses AI and financial services to connect shrimp farmers with a network of buyers and ensure same day payment. Using XpertSea's smartphone app and their phone's camera, farmers can capture crop data, transact with buyers and receive payment within 24 hours of harvest, which improves their cash flow, de-risks their business and unlocks growth.

"We're honoured to be counted among the companies building standout tech that helps farmers grow sustainably and deliver better food to consumers,' says Valerie Robitaille, XpertSea's CEO. 'With powerful AI tools and innovative financial services, we can build a better future for aquaculture producers and seafood consumers, and help aquaculture fulfil its potential as a sustainable source of protein.'

Earlier this month, XpertSea announced a $20M USD Series B funding round led by QED Investors and Atlantico, which will allow XpertSea to bring its marketplace and financial services to new international markets following 1000 percent revenue growth in Latin America.

XpertSea is a winner of the 2019 Aquaculture Awards for its AI-powered tech that helps farmers standardise data collection, track growth, improve animal health, and optimise harvest decisions.

The AgTech Breakthrough Awards program recognises the innovators and leaders from around the globe in a range of agricultural and food technology categories, including areas such as precision agriculture, yield forecasting, IoT, soil sensing, automation and robotics, integrated farm management, and more.
