Revolutionizing How Specialty Crops Are Bought and Sold
There has never been a more crucial time for innovation in the specialty crops industry. Defined by the US Department of Agriculture as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, and a variety of other minor crops, specialty crops represent a significant portion of the agricultural market. In 2022, the domestic value of these crops in the US surpassed $62 billion.
The Need for a Specialized Marketplace
Commodities like corn, grains, beef, and precious metals have long benefited from organized spot markets and futures exchanges like the ones in Chicago and London. These markets enable farmers to sell their products based on current market prices and allow buyers to purchase directly from the exchange or through existing contracts. This creates a transparent marketplace based on supply and demand.
However, no such organized market has historically existed for specialty crop farmers. These farmers have had to navigate a fragmented system where intermediaries buy low from farmers and sell high to buyers. This inefficiency often leaves farmers with little leverage and reduced profit margins and retailers with inflated prices for produce.
