Company mission

To radically improve how food is distributed globally.

Our take

Globally, we grow 5 billion tonnes of produce annually, and a shocking 30% of this goes to waste. There is now a push to rebuild a world whereby people have access to healthier food whilst growers and local communities have more economic opportunities.

This is FARMLEND's vision for the future. It offers a platform on which agriculture sellers and buyers around the world can trade efficiently, safely and sustainably, with the mission to improve how food is distributed globally. The company's marketplace enables distributors to have frictionless experiences buying produce year-round, from incredible, often underserved, growers from around the globe.

European and North American produce imports are expected to grow by 60% by 2030, but current supply chains cannot handle this. FARMLEND will continue to find ways to build relationships between buyers and sellers, growing trade relations, to remedy this.

The work we do at Farmlend is super meaningful. With 30% of the world's fresh produce going to waste, solving this issue will have huge positive impacts for both farmers and the planet. The challenge is huge, but soling it will be massively rewarding.
