FIRST INVESTMENT OF DAVOS 2026 DELIVERED: USA extends support to strengthening agricultural ecosystems in Maharashtra Rural Enhancers and Nutrifresh signed an MOU with the Maharashtra Government at Davos 2026

Pune, 22 April 2026: In a significant boost to Maharashtra’s emerging agri-tech sector, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has deployed its first tranche of ₹90 crore out of a proposed ₹400 crore investment in Pune-based Nutrifresh Farm Tech Pvt. Ltd., marking one of the first major foreign capital inflows following the state’s Davos commitments.

The development is being seen as a validation of the vision of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to transform Maharashtra’s agricultural landscape through technology-led, climate-resilient farming models. The investment comes at a time of global geopolitical uncertainty, including tensions in West Asia, and underscores growing international confidence in Maharashtra as a stable and attractive destination for long-term investments in food security and agriculture.
