Singapore, 1st July 2025 — DiMuto is proud to be the first to introduce Indonesian raspberries to the Singapore market, unlocking a brand-new origin for berries in the region. This breakthrough marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to expand its sourcing network and grow its Marketplace pillar.
As a global trade solutions platform, DiMuto enables traceable agri-food trade through its asset-light model and branded produce distribution, powered by a private marketplace. This marketplace enhances efficiency, transparency, and traceability across the supply chain, while pioneering new origins like Indonesia to strengthen regional resilience and open up fresh trade opportunities for its global network of trusted suppliers and buyers.
Singapore currently imports raspberries primarily from long-haul origins such as the United States, South Africa, and Mexico. These supply chains are often seasonal, exposed to higher cold chain risk, and subject to rising freight costs. DiMuto’s introduction of traceable Indonesian raspberries marks a shift toward a more agile and regionally resilient sourcing model.
Grown in Indonesia’s naturally cool highland microclimates, these raspberries benefit from stable year-round production. With just a two-hour flight separating Indonesia and Singapore, the short-haul route reduces lead times, lowers the carbon footprint, and enhances cold chain reliability. This shipment, for example, has an estimated carbon emission of 19,763.42 kg CO₂ equivalent, demonstrating a lower-carbon alternative to long-haul berry imports.
Compare this to DiMuto’s previous raspberry shipments from Morocco to Singapore, which generated 102,824.64 kg CO₂ equivalent. It’s clear that sourcing from Indonesia offers a lower-carbon, more sustainable alternative for berry imports while ensuring freshness and quality.
The berries are harvested at around 80% ripeness and ripen naturally in transit—similar to bananas and mangos—arriving fresher and with better post-harvest integrity. Singaporean consumers enjoy superior flavor and freshness, while retailers benefit from extended shelf life and improved consistency. This development presents a scalable, ESG-aligned alternative to traditional berry supply chains, offering origin diversity, enhanced quality, and greater supply chain control in the fast-growing premium berries category.
DiMuto currently sources berries from established origins such as Mexico and Peru, and the addition of Indonesia further strengthens its berries portfolio. This strategic move comes amid growing global demand: the berry market is projected to reach 1.052 million tons and US$1.25 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual rate of 0.9% in volume and 1.3% in value, based on 2024 market analysis by IndexBox (2024).
In Asia, raspberry and blackberry consumption is also increasing steadily, expected to reach 16,000 tons and US$168 million by 2035. By sourcing from Indonesia, DiMuto is expanding into a region with strong growth potential—while reinforcing its ability to deliver origin diversity, resilient supply chains, and consistent quality to its global buyer network.
Each shipment of raspberries is digitized on the DiMuto Platform, providing full end-to-end traceability from farm to market. Buyers gain real-time access to critical trade data such as harvest origin, logistics milestones, and quality records, all consolidated on a single platform. This traceable approach gives buyers greater confidence and helps reduce the friction and uncertainty that often accompany traditional fresh produce trade.
“We’re incredibly proud to be the first to bring Indonesian raspberries to Singapore. This is more than just a market breakthrough; it’s proof of how our platform can unlock new sourcing opportunities with better quality, traceability, and trade visibility built in,” said Esther Tiey, Sales and Implementation Specialist of DiMuto.
This milestone reflects DiMuto’s broader mission to build a more connected, transparent, and efficient global agri-food ecosystem. The successful introduction of Indonesian raspberries is part of the company’s ongoing effort to diversify origins and strengthen its sourcing network in response to evolving global demand.
DiMuto continues to redefine the way agri-trade is conducted. Its Marketplace connects trusted suppliers and buyers across a broad range of fresh produce categories, all underpinned by end-to-end traceability and data transparency. Operating in over 20 markets across Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe, DiMuto enables seamless, secure, and efficient cross-border agri-food trade—setting a new standard for how fresh produce moves across the world.
