According to PANews, blockchain agriculture technology company Dimitra has partnered with Layer 1 blockchain platform MANTRA to bring real-world agricultural assets, such as Brazilian cocoa and Mexican carbon credits, onto the blockchain. Dimitra's founder and CEO, Jon Trask, announced at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that the collaboration aims to tokenize agricultural assets worth $1 billion, with pilot projects already underway in Brazil and Mexico.
The Brazilian pilot involves 25 farmers from the "cocoa belt" in southern Roraima, with a total of 374 farmers, and has the potential to expand based on investor interest. Through this partnership, holders of MANTRA's OM tokens can directly invest in small farmers, supporting regenerative agriculture projects with blockchain technology ensuring traceable fund flows. Trask anticipates annual returns between 10% and 30%, but cautions that agricultural risks such as pests and droughts could impact earnings.
