PANews reported on June 3 that blockchain agricultural technology company Dimitra has reached a cooperation with Layer 1 blockchain platform MANTRA, aiming to put real-world agricultural assets (such as Brazilian cocoa and Mexican carbon credits) on the chain. Dimitra founder and CEO Jon Trask said at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference that the two parties plan to eventually tokenize agricultural assets worth $1 billion, and have launched two pilot projects in Brazil and Mexico.
The Brazilian pilot covers 25 farmers (out of a total of 374) in the southern "cocoa belt" of Roraima, and can be expanded in the future as investors show interest. Through the partnership, MANTRA (OM token) holders can directly invest in small farmers and support regenerative agricultural projects, with blockchain technology ensuring that funds can be traced. Trask expects an annualized return of between 10% and 30%, but emphasizes that risks such as pests and droughts in agriculture may affect returns.
