International Virtual Food Auctions

eZad is a New Online Auction House for Date Vendors and Buyers

— August 20, 2021 — Lifestyle
Food and beverage company Agthia Group introduces its new eAuction platform, eZad, where international buyers can purchase dates in bulk from vendors in the United Arab Emirates.

This niche platform will make the date market much more profitable and transparent for all parties. The platform is designed to help farmers grow better dates while equally aiding date buyers to grow their businesses. eZad will source date farmers located in the UAE and begin listing their offerings at the beginning of the harvest season in August. Farmers will then be able to list their dates for auction directly through eZad. The auction listing will be available on the website for 48 hours. Buyers will then search and filter their listings based on their preferences - quantity, date type, price etc.

eZad ensures the dates they list meet market standards and plans to expand to other date markets in the future.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Agri-commodity Auctions - A niche eAuction platform focused on agri-commodities is seen as a profitable and transparent solution for farmers and buyers.
2. Online Direct Farm-to-buyer Sales - An online auction house that directly connects farmers and buyers could improve supply chain efficiency and increase profitability.
3. Transparency in Food Commodity Trading - An eAuction platform that ensures the products meet market standards and provides a transparent trading environment can build trust and reduce information asymmetry.
Industry Implications
1. Agriculture - The agriculture industry can benefit from an eAuction platform that creates a direct link between farmers and buyers, increasing profit margins and supply chain efficiency.
2. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can benefit from a transparent trading system that provides market standards for the quality of the products, giving buyers the confidence to purchase in bulk.
3. E-commerce - An e-commerce platform that provides international buyers access to purchase agri-commodities directly from farmers can open new revenue streams for online marketplaces.
