Mexican firm issues cryptocurrency backed by habanero pepper

Mexican firm Amar Hidroponia, which grows only habanero peppers, is selling digital tokens in order to raise capital from smaller investors. Each 500 peso (₹1,760) Agrocoin is backed by a square meter of hydroponic pepper production in Mexico's Quintana Roo state. The company said that it expects to pay a yearly dividend equal to about 30% of the cost.
