IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
We have something to offer no matter who you are along the supply chain.

Based on growers we have worked with in the past, you may be missing out on additional revenue from anywhere between 3-15% of your annual crop in addition to the sunk costs of growing, picking, grading, storage, and so on which are typically at least $2 per kg.
Extrapolated over tonnes, the sunk costs and opportunity costs certainly add up.
Contact Lynne to discuss how we can help you to find markets and improve on per kg return for your currently ‘unmarketable’ produce.

The typical small to mid-size food/beverage manufacturer could potentially avoid $20,000 - $30,000 per year on disposal costs.
Contact Lynne to discuss how we can use our knowledge of physicochemical composition and end-uses to help you find markets or solutions for your by-products.
Recovering these operational costs in the long-term can be a significant win for any SME’s bottom line.
-
If you are a restaurant, cafe, food or drink manufacturer, catering company, or institution you can register your needs and details with us at no cost.
By letting us know what products or ingredients you are looking for we can actively help on an ongoing basis with finding high-quality, local produce at reasonable prices.
We accept orders of any size, which is a significant benefit for businesses just starting out or who are unable to meet typical minimum order quantities (MOQs).
Fees are only charged once a trade is finalised, and we also assist with any dispute resolution should you need it. However, we ensure all sellers are vetted for quality when they sign on to our service.
Contact Lynne to discuss how we can help you with price discovery, procurement, and developing supply chain relationships.
