A sustainable, global AgriTrade Ecosystem

DiMuto was created by fresh produce veterans with decades of experience in the perishables trade. While managing a global food supply chain and conducting international trade deals when running a global fruits and vegetables marketer and distributor, founder Gary Loh experienced many pain points and realized there was a need to change the way global food trade is being done.

With the aim of transforming the way global food trade was conducted and solve the global issue of food resilience and supply chain inefficiencies, DiMuto was thus born.

Redefining The Global
AgriFood Trade

With our three pillars of Marketplace, Trade Management, and Trade Financing, DiMuto supports every aspect of AgriFood trading, redefining the way goods are managed from farm to table, seamlessly and simply connecting every step, and making it visible throughout.

By traders for traders, we want to help AgriFood business owners optimize their operations efficiently and for them to build a foundation of trust between their buyers or sellers so that they can take action on improving and growing their businesses in a more sustainable, efficient manner.
