September 26, 2024: Silicon Valley, CA — In an era where real-time data drives decision-making across industries, the necessity for precise and actionable intelligence is more pronounced than ever, especially in specialty crops. Fruitnet Media International – the world’s leading publisher and event organizer for the fresh produce business – is bringing Agtools® curated and audited data to enhance its audience’s understanding of the industry. This collaboration aims to empower Fruitnet's audience with Agtools®' meticulously curated and audited market data, enhancing insights and fostering informed decisions in the dynamic agricultural landscape.
Agtools®, with its robust platform powered by a team of seasoned industry experts from around the globe, has developed the largest and most comprehensive database on specialty crops. This alliance is set to transform how stakeholders in the fresh produce industry access and utilize data, delivering analytics at an unprecedented scale—processing over a billion transactions per second—to provide clarity and foresight in a complex market.
Agtool's strategic collaboration with Fruitnet Media International, which supplements the publisher’s global fresh produce industry insights, started in 2024.
The strategic collaboration will see Agtools supply global market data via its real-time platform to boost Fruitnet’s research capability, as well as regular category reports for publication on Fruitnet.com.
Fruitnet Media International is the world’s leading publisher and event organizer for the international fresh fruit and vegetable business. As well as its print and digital publications, Fruitnet organizes several of the world’s top fresh produce industry events. It is also the official partner of two of the industry’s most significant trade fairs – Fruit Logistica and Asia Fruit Logistica.
Agtools is a worldwide SaaS platform that gathers government and institutional market data for more than 500 specialty crop commodities to provide up-to-the-moment statistics, such as supply, demand, time, cost, weather patterns, and more. The Machine Learning AI Award-Winning solution by Agtools allows access to real-time supply chain data needed for short—and long-term business decisions.
When growers, supply chain, and stakeholders get the information they need on time, they can ensure food is sent to the right market and sold at a fair price. The new era of agriculture utilizing data-driven insights and shifting towards more industrialized processes could help growers improve yields, reduce food waste, and help them with sustainable farming practices.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work more closely with Agtools. In the past few years, market instability has made it even more important to source reliable data,” said Mike Knowles, managing director of Fruitnet Europe. “We see excellent potential to combine Agtools’ top-grade trade statistics with our own informed analysis and use this to help the industry make even better business decisions.”
Both organizations' collaboration effort relies on providing industry-relevant data to help the fresh produce and vegetable business grow.
