Agrodemanda

Agrodemanda is the most complete directory of agricultural producers in Ecuador, where you can connect with your nearest stores and farmers and buy all your products (fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, veterinary medicines, farm animals, fishing, fish farming , land, services, equipment, etc ...) in a few clicks.

At the end of May 2020, Pablo and Alejandro, Ecuadorian farmers, surveyed 100 Ecuadorian farmers in various provinces and segments to get an idea of ​​how their digital preferences and their use could be changing. The results were compelling, with a much higher percentage of farmers buying online and a more positive attitude towards digital commerce. That is consistent with what we have seen in other sectors.

The COVID-19 crisis gave the Agrodemanda team great concern; All farms surveyed report worse economic performance since the start of the pandemic, and 75 percent were pessimistic about the outlook for the post-crisis economy. Additionally, 95 percent say they are considering adjusting shopping behavior to minimize physical interactions. With this in mind, they set about creating a platform for Ecuador.

Across Ecuador, this adds up to almost four million more farmers who say they are willing to use online channels as their main source of orders.

What do you say, do you sign up to buy or sell on this new platform?
