New Website Provides Market, Technical and
Regulatory Information for Agribusiness
Washington D.C., September 19, 2003: A new one-stop shop is
being launched, where growers and shippers can obtain quick
prices, trade data, production guidelines, and market
specifications at the click of a mouse. It's a free-access
website with the moniker "AgribusinessOnline.com," sponsored
by Fintrac Inc., the same consulting firm responsible for the
award-winning Global Agribusiness Information Network (GAIN)
and Marketag.Com websites.
"We have taken the best features of our previous pages and
introduced new content in the form of up-to-date market,
technical, and regulatory information that is useful to
players all along the farm-to-market value chain, from small
farmers in places like Ecuador or Ghana, to packers and
shippers in Spain or California," notes Jay Kaufman, Fintrac's
Manager of Market Research Services.
Agribusiness Online features unique sections on production
and postharvest guidelines, wholesale prices, trade
statistics, and a host of regulations including grades and
standards, tariffs, and organic guidelines. "We receive a
multitude of emails and phone calls from growers and shippers
every day. In most cases, they are looking for some key bit of
information in order to put together a new program, or
facilitate a current transaction," notes Claire Starkey,
Fintrac President. "Agribusiness On-Line is our response." The
website is provided as a free service to help promote the
firm's goal of increasing agricultural trade worldwide, and is
located at
