A Platform which Connects Farm and Food Product Directly between Buyers and Sellers
The Full Harvest Marketplace enables growers to sell their products to commercial produce buyers directly from the farm, regardless of the grade of produce. This helps the buyer in terms of lesser time and costs as competitively priced products are offered and on the other, helps the seller maximize the earnings and sell them faster due to a nationwide pole.
Full Harvest is a resource where 0% food waste is recorded and 100% full harvests are achieved whereby all growing edible produce is turned into consumption. The challenge is to use technology to revolutionize the fresh produce supply chain and take the business online for the first time, optimizing the use of resources.
Full Harvest's ideas come from a strong desire to radically change the food system for the better. In the marketplace, farmers are encouraged to sell every crop they grow, while buyers of produce help encourage the practice by buying such crops thereby helping the farmers and the earth.
Convenient Access to Cargo and Agriculture Products
Full Harvest offers the possibility to load any type of foreign cargo without the need for inland transport, straight from the quarry, thus improving turn-around time and cost. The B2B Internet system caters for all spot programs and contract deals of all grades of produce with a search time reduction of up to 95%.
Conversely, low prices are offered, thanks to a pool of premium farm products’ producers all at one site. This reduces emissions and costs associated with transportation.
Likewise, broaden the supply base by the use of a central network of accredited and reliable suppliers throughout the country. All necessary documents such as compliance certification, sales orders, and invoices history are readily available from one location.
When making freight booking through the Full Harvest Marketplace, the vendors are assured on time and complete deliveries, through the best available carriers.
Make smart and quick decisions supported with data by making use of a good and easy to use metrics dashboard that gives information on the purchasing data, trends, prices, and history of purchases. There are Account managers who will help you along the whole process of buying goods.
Full Harvest platform allows for all users to search and view a vast number of produce’s grades within seconds. Items can be requested easily by posting needs to a vast and active supply base.
Fresh Produce Distribution Made Practical
The buying up of fresh produce has reached a high level and can be managed easily under one sales channel. Growers have even managed to increase profits by selling more than just the top grade at 12%.
There is no need to limit access to the supermarket of produce for a specific telephone or laptop. Registration and profile completion takes less than a minute, and therefore every produce can be uploaded in one place and most importantly everyone gets paid on time.
Full Harvest also applies to the buyers who are interested in purchasing not only USDA #1 grade produce, but also surplus and off-grade produce. All it takes is a few good pictures and description of the desired stock and voila the posting is done in all of two seconds. Furthermore, goods can be specified and the request made so that interested parties can be quickly sent offers.
