Division of Corporation Finance Office of Industrial Applications and Services Securities and Exchange Commission Re: Agroz Inc. Registration Statement on Form F-1 Submitted January 16, CIK No. 0002009233

Dear Mr. O’Leary, Mr. Danberg, Ms. Wong, and Ms. Xiao:

Agroz Inc. (the “Company”) respectfully submits this correspondence to the staff (the “Staff,” and such correspondence, this “Response Letter”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in response to the Commission’s letter dated January 27, 2025 relating to the Company’s filing on January 16, 2025 of its registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”). On behalf of the Company, Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP (“we” or “our”) is concurrently filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the definitions ascribed to them in Amendment No. 1.

To facilitate your review, we have reproduced below the Commission’s comments in bold italics, followed by our responses.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1

Cover Page

1. It appears you are registering the Shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants. Please clarify on the cover page that these shares are also being registered.

In response to the Commission’s comment, the Company respectfully refers the Staff to the revised cover page, which clarifies that the shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants are also being registered.

Capitalization, page 32

2. Please include a line item for Redeemable convertible preference shares as part of the indebtedness in the table.

In response to the Commission’s comment, the Company respectfully refers the Staff to the revised table in the “Capitalization” section, which now includes a line item for the RCPS as part of the indebtedness entry.

Dilution, page 33

3. Please provide us with your calculation for determining the historical net tangible book value as shown in the dilution table.

In response to the Commission’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that historical net tangible book value was calculated as follows, and the formula for calculating the historical net tangible book value in the revised first paragraph in the “Dilution” section: “Our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share represents the quotient obtained by dividing net tangible assets by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Net tangible assets was obtained by reducing total net assets by intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and deferred IPO costs (pursuant to the Company’s balance sheet). Total net assets represents total assets less total liabilities.”

Total Assets of $5,620,102 were reduced by Total Liabilities of $4,963,277, resulting in Total Net Assets of $656,825. Deductions were then made for:

○ Intangible Assets ($8,204)

○ Right-of-Use Assets ($536,915)

○ Deferred IPO Costs ($350,282)

After deducting the above, we obtain a Net Tangible Assets of ($238,576).

By dividing Net Tangible Assets of ($238,576) by the 21,030,494 ordinary shares outstanding, the Net Tangible Book Value Per Ordinary Share would be ($0.01).
