Chinese agricultural B2B platform Yimutian Inc. (Nasdaq: YMT) has priced its U.S. initial public offering (IPO), raising approximately $20.5 million through the sale of 5.01 million American depositary shares (ADSs) at $4.10 per share. Each ADS represents 25 Class A ordinary shares.
The IPO, which includes both company-issued and shareholder-offered ADSs, provides Yimutian with fresh capital to expand its digital agriculture commerce services, technological infrastructure, and sourcing and trading operations. A portion of the proceeds will also go toward working capital and general corporate purposes.
The company’s shares are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker “YMT” on August 19, 2025, with the offering set to close a day later, subject to customary conditions. US Tiger Securities, Inc. is serving as the lead underwriter.
Transforming Agricultural Trade Through Digitalization
Founded over a decade ago, Yimutian has built one of mainland China’s most extensive agricultural B2B ecosystems. As of March 2025, the platform served more than 39 million merchants and hosted 21 million product listings (SKUs). In 2024 alone, it facilitated connections between 770,000 sellers and over 6 million buyers, underscoring its scale and influence within China’s agricultural supply chain.
The company’s core services span from product discovery and transaction facilitation to secure settlement, creating an efficient, transparent, and scalable framework for agricultural commerce. In recent years, Yimutian has diversified further into smart farming solutions and agricultural sourcing and trading services, positioning itself at the intersection of technology and food security.
Why This IPO Matters
- Global Capital Access: Listing on Nasdaq enhances Yimutian’s international visibility while providing access to deeper pools of global capital.
- Agriculture-Tech Growth: The funds raised will accelerate its push into agri-tech, aligning with China’s long-term strategy of modernizing food production and distribution.
- Investor Signal: Despite global market volatility, the successful pricing of the IPO highlights sustained investor confidence in platforms driving efficiency in traditional industries.
With agriculture still forming the backbone of China’s economy, Yimutian’s IPO signals the rising importance of digital platforms in reshaping food supply chains — a sector critical not only for domestic growth but also for global sustainability.
