Farmers who become verified members of the startup will gain additional benefits on the platform. In addition to receiving verification badges to display in their “virtual showcases”, they will experience increased visibility on the platform and a competitive advantage with buyers over other producers; on average, they have a 97% acceptance rate for their shipments.
Good practices through verification
ProducePay producers become verified members by undergoing a process that includes field visits to corroborate production history, certifications, sustainable practices and the quality of their products. By purchasing their products from verified members, buyers – distributors, supermarket chains, retailers and convenience stores in Mexico and the United States – can be assured that their shipments will arrive in a timely manner.
These “virtual storefronts” will enhance the online experience for produce buyers worldwide. Retailers, distributors and grocery shops will have the ability to search for products according to their needs and get information about the acceptance rate of deliveries, the timeliness of shipments and the number of successful deliveries made by the grower. Shoppers will also be able to send messages, questions or commercial offers directly to a producer from the shop page.
In addition to the launch of Storefront, the platform now integrates the company’s unique services and financing solutions, including Pre-Harvest and Quick-Pay, so producers can more conveniently access these services directly on the platform.
