Agri-Tech Firm Dimitra Partners With MANTRA to Bring Cacao, Carbon Credits onto the Blockchain

Dimitra, a blockchain-based agricultural technology company, has partnered with Layer 1 blockchain platform MANTRA to bring real-world agricultural assets on-chain.Jon Trask, Dimitra’s founder CEO, told CoinDesk at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas last week that the partnership aims to eventually bring a billion dollars worth of agricultural assets, starting with cacao in Brazil and carbon credits in Mexico, onto MANTRA’s blockchain.Trask added that the two pilot projects with MANTRA are currently small in scale — in Brazil, only 25 of the 374 cocoa farmers in Brazil’s so-called “cocoa pole” in the southern region of Roraima are currently signed up to participate — but could be expanded “indefinitely” with enough investor interest.Through the partnership, MANTRA holders will be able to invest directly in smallholder farmers, providing funding for a variety of regenerative agricultural projects in a way that is made traceable and verifiable by the blockchain source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/06/03/agri-tech-firm-dimitra-partners-with-mantra-to-bring-cacao-carbon-credits-onto-the-blockchain
