Agrifood Technology for Emerging Agricultural Markets

From Farm
to Value.

Combining agrifood expertise and technology to create new value from agricultural side streams — for farmers, cooperatives and agribusinesses across emerging agricultural markets.

Our Purpose

Create value from
agricultural side streams.

Every year, billions of kilos of agricultural side streams are discarded while farmers face increasing pressure on margins, transparency and sustainability — often without the data infrastructure to respond.

That is the problem Hyves exists to solve. Our purpose is to create new value from agricultural side streams — for farmers, cooperatives, buyers and the planet.

Our purpose
Create value from agricultural side streams.
Our tools
Agrifood expertise · Software · AI · Hardware · Circular innovation
Examples include: citrus peel · cacao pulp · agricultural residues
How We Do It

Three capabilities.
One connected story.

🌿 From Farm
Capture Farm Data
The right tool for the crop — mobile apps, sensors, cameras and future field robotics. The farmer gets visibility; the supply chain gets structured, reliable data.
  • Farmer registration
  • IoT sensors
  • Computer vision
  • Future field robotics
🔗 Through the Chain
Create Transparency
Every harvest, spray decision and quality reading captured in one platform — a traceable, auditable record that enables better decisions at every step of the chain.
  • Traceability
  • Dashboards
  • Decision support
  • Data integration
♻ To Value
Create Value
Traceable side streams become new products and applications and new revenue — turning what was waste into a second income stream for farmers and cooperatives.
  • Citrus peel → oils
  • Cacao pulp opportunities
  • Side streams → new products
Proof, Not Promises

Featured Projects

Real crops. Real farmers. Real outcomes. Every project adds a new layer of proof to the model.

Working Platform · EU-funded · Completed
Cacao-Tech
Cacao · Ecuador
Farmer registration, GPS mapping, batch traceability, quality capture and aggregator dashboard — a working platform used live across the cacao supply chain. Built in low-code: fully configurable to any cooperative or supply chain operator's requirements.

How We Work

One model.
Any crop, any market.

A reusable approach developed through cacao and citrus value chain projects — turning isolated smallholder farmers into connected, traceable, circular producers across emerging agricultural markets.

01
Capture Farm Data
Mobile apps, sensors, cameras and future field robotics — the right tool for the crop and context. The farmer gets visibility; we get structured data.
02
Know the Chain
Every harvest, spray decision and soil reading captured — a traceable, auditable record from field to buyer.
03
Open the Market
Traceability data enables EUDR compliance, GLOBALG.A.P. and premium pricing that isolated farmers cannot access alone.
04
Close the Loop
Peel, pulp, husk — what the farmer discards becomes a new opportunity through applied R&D: essential oils, animal feed applications and new product development.

Why Hyves.Tech

Real projects.
Real partners.
Real outcomes.

Our credibility comes from what we've built and who we've built it with — not where our office is.

Agrifood domain expertise — not just technology
Senior agrifood strategy, operations and supply chain experience across Royal De Heus, The Fruit Republic and live emerging-market projects. We understand the farm, the chain and the buyer — and build technology that reflects that.
Proven projects — not just proposals
Cacao-Tech: EU-funded innovation project completed, with Hyves contributing the digital traceability platform. Citrus-Tech: active in Vietnam. Both delivering real traceability, real farm intelligence and real circular outputs.
Real partners — on the ground and in the lab
RMIT University Vietnam, Wageningen University & Research, CZU, Pacha, San José — and future collaborations in Africa with partners who know the soil and the supply chain.
One model that travels — across crops, countries and climates
Developed through cacao and citrus projects. Designed for cocoa and other crops across West Africa and Southeast Asia. The data infrastructure is the same; the crop and context adapt.
