The global agri-food supply chain is a multi-trillion-dollar industry held back by systemic inefficiencies rooted in market fragmentation, information asymmetry, and a profound lack of trust. Growers, traders, importers, and retailers each face their own version of the same problem: limited visibility, high risk, and restricted access to finance.
This imbalance has created a chaotic and opaque ecosystem where value is routinely lost before the product even leaves the farm. At DiMuto, we call this a market failure, and it is exactly what Verifiable Commerce was built to solve.
Verifiable Commerce is not only about digitization. It is a re-engineering of how agricultural trade works, creating a single source of truth that connects data, people, and capital across borders. Through an integrated ecosystem combining Trade Management, Marketplace, and Financial Services, DiMuto derisks the supply chain and enables every participant to trade with visibility, efficiency, and confidence.
DiMuto’s Three Pillars
For Growers: Turning Verified Data into Working Capital
Growers face long payment cycles, limited buyer access, and little visibility once their produce leaves the packing house. DiMuto changes this by transforming verified trade data into bankable assets.
Every shipment captured through DiMutoClear becomes a digital record of trust, complete with images, documentation, and inspection data that can be used to prove quality and compliance. These verified trades are then eligible for financing through DiMutoPay, allowing growers to convert receivables into cash after shipment and access affordable working capital.

By creating traceable data at the farm level, DiMuto helps growers move from delayed payments to data-driven liquidity, unlocking new market opportunities and financial inclusion for agri-SMEs.
For Traders: Visibility That Reduces Risk
Traders operate in one of the most volatile segments of global commerce. Counterparty risk, manual documentation, and delayed shipments often erode margins and confidence.
Through DiMutoClear, every trade is digitized into a secure and verifiable record. Traders can now track product condition, documentation, and payment milestones in real time. This visibility reduces disputes, accelerates settlements, and strengthens long-term relationships built on verified data.
By consolidating operational and financial data in one place, traders gain a complete view of their business that enables faster, smarter, and more resilient trade decisions.

For Importers: Quality and Provenance You Can Verify
Importers often face inconsistent product quality, slow customs clearance, and limited access to verified sourcing. DiMuto addresses these challenges by providing visibility before the shipment even departs.
Each DiMuto-enabled trade captures carton-level data, allowing importers to verify quality, quantity, and origin before goods arrive. By digitizing certificates, invoices, and logistics records on the blockchain, DiMuto ensures every trade document is authentic and accessible, reducing clearance delays and compliance risks.
Importers gain the confidence to diversify suppliers and strengthen their sourcing network without compromising reliability or product integrity.

The Virtuous Cycle: How DiMuto Creates Value
DiMuto’s integrated ecosystem operates on a self-reinforcing model called the Virtuous Cycle. Data captured through Trade Management flows into the Marketplace, where verified products and partners generate transaction activity. This data then fuels the Financial Services pillar, enabling DiMuto to offer trade financing and insurance based on real, verifiable performance.
The more trades digitized, the more powerful the data becomes. Each new transaction strengthens the platform’s Trade Health Score, a quantifiable measure of trade reliability that improves underwriting confidence for lenders and insurers.
This creates a feedback loop where visibility drives financing, financing drives participation, and participation generates more data. It forms the foundation of a more transparent, trusted, and sustainable agri-trade ecosystem.
From Fragmentation to Flow
The future of global agri-trade lies in connection and clarity. DiMuto’s vision of Verifiable Commerce unites fragmented players into a single digital ecosystem where value can be tracked, verified, and monetized.
By transforming operational data into financial instruments, DiMuto is not just improving how trade is managed. It is redefining how value is created.
With DiMuto, agri-food businesses gain the tools to see every trade clearly, finance growth sustainably, and build a global food system defined by trust, transparency, and shared prosperity.

In early July, I saw firsthand how flooding in Huila, Colombia disrupted lime supply. Heavy rains swept through the southwest, damaging harvests and slowing down operations for what was supposed to be a smooth trade from Colombia to Spain. For buyers who depend on consistent shipments, this is the nightmare scenario. One unexpected weather event can trigger delays, cancellations, and disputes, and ultimately put end-customer trust at risk.
Image of flooding in Huila, Colombia in July 2025
This experience reminded me why marketplace agility is so important in agritrade. For me, marketplace agility means the ability to adapt instantly to disruptions without sacrificing quality or trust. When supply falters, it is not only about missing product. Disruptions can damage long-term relationships, increase costs, and create disputes that ripple through the value chain. Agility is not just about finding a replacement supplier at the last minute. It is about sourcing verified alternatives quickly, with the confidence that quality and reliability are intact.
The floods in Huila had a direct impact on the lime crop. Fruit that was supposed to be export-ready came out with serious defects: fumagina (sooty mold) coating the skin, light green or yellow coloring instead of uniform green, oleocellosis (oil spotting) from stressed fruit, and uneven ripening that made packing inconsistent. These issues forced delays and even cancellations of shipments. Without early visibility, the buyer in Spain would have been exposed to costly losses and dissatisfied customers.
Images of lime defects as a result of the flooding
In this situation, we quickly explored alternatives to protect the buyer’s order. Mexico became a potential backup origin, with limes available directly from the fields. Timing, verification, and strong relationships were critical in even being able to consider this pivot. As a case study, it shows how being prepared and agile provides options that safeguard supply and maintain buyer trust, even when the original trade is disrupted.
Looking back, this pivot was only possible to explore because of real-time visibility. Carton-level traceability flagged quality issues early before they left the packhouse. Monitoring packing progress in real time alerted us to slowdowns even before the grower officially raised it. That gave us a head start in considering alternatives, avoiding further disruption. For me, this is not about selling technology. It is about showing how the right tools make agility real and measurable. Without visibility, there is no way to react fast enough.
The lesson here is simple: weather disruptions are inevitable, but visibility plus agility equals protection of both supply and relationships. For me, this experience reinforced why agility is no longer optional in agritrade. It is essential.
For supermarkets and distributors, agility and visibility are not abstract concepts — they directly protect your supply, your margins, and your customers. That is why DiMuto’s Marketplace exists: to connect you with traceable, trusted brands like SoLumi Fresh, DiLumi Fresh, Sazzy Fresh, and more. Behind these brands is our technology, ensuring every carton can be traced, verified, and delivered with confidence.

Singapore, 29th July 2025 — DiMuto has successfully completed an AI-powered, traceable shipment of Peruvian avocados into China, working with one of the world’s leading multinational fresh produce importers. This marks a major milestone in applying real-time quality verification technology to one of the most important and high-compliance markets in global agri-trade.
For the first time, DiMuto deployed its proprietary PQAI (Product Quality Artificial Intelligence) system on a China-bound avocado trade. At the packhouse in Ica, Peru, PQAI scanned and analyzed high-resolution images of the cartons, detecting surface defects and generating real-time quality scores. These digital quality records were securely shared with the Chinese importer prior to export, allowing the buyer to verify shipment quality remotely before the container even left Peru.
Compared to traditional manual pre-shipment inspections, PQAI performs assessments in a fraction of the time, without the need for human input or delays. This not only speeds up the export process but also reduces inconsistencies and food waste. By identifying substandard fruit early and ensuring only the best-quality produce is packed and shipped, PQAI helps reduce rejections, spoilage, and food waste to ultimately support a more efficient, sustainable, and trusted global supply chain.
The shipment travelled via the newly launched Port of Chancay, which has quickly become a critical gateway for Peru–China trade. With shortened transit times of 23 to 24 days, the avocados arrived fresher, preserving quality and value. As the port is expected to move over 300,000 containers by the end of 2025, DiMuto will continue to use it for upcoming blueberry shipments and other trades between Latin America and Asia.
This trade also reflects the growing openness among Chinese buyers to adopt advanced technology that supports smarter sourcing. By verifying quality at origin, DiMuto enabled smoother customs clearance, reduced rejection risk, and provided the importer with confidence backed by objective data.
The success of this shipment highlights how DiMuto’s integrated approach to AI and traceability can be scaled across high-volume, high-compliance markets. It follows previous DiMuto-powered trades of Chilean cherries and Peruvian blueberries into China. With this avocado shipment, DiMuto has now enabled digital traceability across three key fresh fruit categories and plans to continue the season with additional Peruvian blueberry shipments.
“This trade shows what’s possible when technology meets global produce. By verifying quality upfront using PQAI, we are helping make the China market more open to smarter, data-backed trade. It is a major step for Latin America and for the future of trusted sourcing,” said Gary Loh, CEO and Founder of DiMuto.
For Latin American exporters, this milestone offers strategic value. Verified quality and traceability help differentiate Peruvian avocados in a crowded market and unlock better access to premium Asian buyers. With grounded data at the core, DiMuto is driving a new era of smarter, more transparent agri-trade that builds trust across borders.

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.

Fresh food categories account for up to 40% of a grocery chain’s revenues but are challenging to manage due to factors like price volatility, supplier fragmentation, perishability, and complex replenishment processes. (Mckinsey, 2014)
These issues are further compounded by siloed data across the supply chain, which prevents stakeholders from accessing timely, accurate insights.
In this environment, traceability is no longer optional — it’s a competitive edge. Yet, most fresh produce players struggle to achieve end-to-end visibility or build brand value that reaches the consumer. That’s where DiMuto comes in.
With DiLumi Fresh, we set out to prove how DiMuto’s ecosystem powers a data-driven, transparent, and consumer-facing fresh produce brand — addressing pain points while building long-term equity and trust.
Every DiLumi Fresh product is tagged and digitized at the source with a unique DiMuto QR code. Through this platform, we track:
Product photos at packing
Batch and shipment data
Quality assessments
Trade documents, invoices, and customs records
On our packing lines, DACKY — an advanced automation system — captures high-quality images of each carton without slowing down operations. This ensures consistent, clear visuals that are instantly shared with buyers, retailers and importers.
This level of digitization eliminates blind spots, creating end-to-end accountability and ensuring all parties — from grower to retailer — are on the same page.
Dispute Management: Reducing Friction with Visual Proof
With visual proof of product condition at every step, trade disputes are minimized. DiMuto’s platform captures:
Timestamped product photos
Delivery and inspection logs
Payment and document history
By providing clear documentation at every stage, disputes are resolved faster, buyer confidence is strengthened, and financial risks are reduced. The end result is a more streamlined, transparent process that benefits everyone involved — from farmers to retailers and consumers.
Quality Assurance: Closing the Loop from Packing to Arrival
With DiMuto, quality isn’t just a promise — it’s digitally verified.
Every DiLumi Fresh carton is captured in real-time during packing, with high-resolution images that showcase produce color, size, and packaging quality. These visuals are timestamped and geo-tagged, providing concrete evidence of the product’s condition at origin.
This visual record plays a critical role in quality assurance and dispute resolution. For example, during one recent shipment of DiLumi Fresh tomatoes, the buyer raised a complaint about mold and quality deterioration upon receipt. Using DiMuto’s platform, we were able to immediately review the original packing images — all of which confirmed that the tomatoes were in excellent condition at the time of shipment.
Upon further investigation, the platform’s traceability tools showed a significant delay during cold chain handling at the receiving end. Temperature logs and handling records indicated that the produce had been stored for too long in cold storage, beyond its optimal shelf life. As a result, the mold developed after the point of export, and the issue was not due to supplier negligence.
This level of traceability:
Protects exporters from unfair claims
Provides importers with evidence-based feedback to improve handling
Fosters trust by eliminating finger-pointing and focusing on facts
With visual proof, shipment records, and handling insights, DiMuto helps ensure true accountability across the entire supply chain — so everyone knows exactly where and when things go wrong, and how to prevent it next time.
Precision Packing for Market-Specific Ripeness
DiMuto doesn’t just help detect quality issues — it enables better decision-making at the source.
In the case of DiLumi Fresh tomatoes, we often pack to meet the specific ripeness needs of different buyer markets. For example, the domestic market in Mexico may prefer tomatoes that are nearly ripe and ready for consumption within days. Meanwhile, exports to the U.S. require tomatoes that are firmer and semi-ripe, allowing them to ripen gradually during transit and arrive in peak condition.
However, mixing overripe and semi-ripe tomatoes in a single carton can accelerate the overall ripening process due to ethylene exposure — leading to premature spoilage and reduced shelf life. This used to be difficult to monitor consistently at scale.
With DiMuto’s digitization tools — including image capture and quality tagging during packing — we now have better control over what goes into each box. We can:
Identify and segregate ripeness levels visually
Match packing strategies to market-specific requirements
Minimize cross-contamination of ripeness that leads to inconsistency
Ensure just-in-time quality upon arrival in each market
This level of detail gives suppliers the ability to optimize shelf life, reduce waste, and increase buyer satisfaction — without relying solely on manual QC or subjective judgment.
Scaling with Confidence
To date, we have moved and tracked thousands of cartons of fresh tomatoes and bell peppers from Mexico to the U.S., working with leading importers and retailers. Every shipment is powered by DiMuto’s integrated ecosystem — helping us deliver freshness, build trust, and create a brand consumers can rely on.
A Crisis of Waste in the Global Food Supply Chain
The agrifood industry faces a paradox: while over 800 million people go hungry, nearly 40% of all food produced globally goes uneaten—a staggering 2.5 billion tonnes each year(Source: WWF). Much of this waste happens before food even reaches consumers—during harvesting, storage, transport, and distribution (Source: FAO).
These issues are rooted in lack of visibility, fragmented logistics, and outdated processes. Thus, brands and distributors must face the question: how can we reshape the supply chain to ensure food is delivered efficiently, safely, and sustainably?
The solution lies in adopting a new model for distribution—one that leverages data and technology to track every stage of the supply chain, pinpoint potential issues before they escalate, and drastically reduce food waste.
This is precisely how fresh produce brand, SoLumi Fresh, is tackling the issue — leveraging end-to-end traceability and actionable supply chain data through the DiMuto Platform to ensure that fresh produce moves efficiently from farm to table, with minimal waste and maximum transparency.
Introducing SoLumi Fresh: A Brand Powered by DiMuto
SoLumi Fresh, a visionary brand powered by the DiMuto Platform, exemplifies how modern technology can directly combat food waste in the agrifood sector. Specializing in fresh produce, SoLumi Fresh uses DiMuto’s traceability tools to monitor every carton from farm to table—capturing images, quality data, and handling conditions at each stage to reduce loss and spoilage.
By digitizing the supply chain, SoLumi Fresh not only ensures product integrity but also empowers customers with easy access to verified data on the origin, journey, and environmental impact of their purchases—simply by scanning the label.
A New Era of Food Distribution Powered by DiMuto
Most traditional distributors operate in the dark, reacting to spoilage, delays, and customer complaints after damage is done. DiMuto flips this paradigm on its head.
Through an integrated Trade Management Platform powered by AI, blockchain, and carton-level QR tagging, DiMuto brings end-to-end traceability and real-time trade visibility to the global food supply chain. Every carton tracked on the DiMuto platform is seen, verified, and analyzed—from farm to fork—enabling timely interventions that prevent loss and waste before it happens.
In particular, DiMuto’s Product Quality AI is designed to tackle subjective and inconsistent quality assessments. By analyzing high-resolution images captured at packing using DiMuto’s digitization devices, the AI evaluates key visual attributes such as size, shape, color, and surface defects with speed and consistency that far exceeds manual inspections. This real-time grading capability enables producers and exporters to detect issues like under- or over-ripeness, damage, or non-conformity before goods are shipped, reducing the risk of rejections at destination. By ensuring that only products meeting buyer specifications are dispatched, Product Quality AI helps to significantly lower post-shipment waste, protect margins, and build trust between trade partners.
This level of visibility is extraordinarily rare in the fresh produce sector, which continues to suffer from inefficiencies and manual processes. DiMuto fills a critical gap in the market—the gap between growing food and ensuring it actually gets eaten.
SoLumi Fresh leverages DiMuto’s platform to monitor product quality at every stage of the supply chain. By capturing real-time images, logging condition data, and flagging handling issues early, SoLumi Fresh significantly reduces waste and rejections—ensuring more produce reaches consumers in optimal condition.
This approach not only helps to reduce waste but also sets the stage for the future of food distribution—one where brands take the lead in driving change. Today, brands are expected to do more than deliver a product; they are responsible for ensuring it is handled sustainably and efficiently throughout its journey. By adopting DiMuto’s solution, brands like SoLumi Fresh are redefining what it means to be a responsible distributor in the modern agrifood industry.
Real-World Impact: Sweet Potato Case Study
To understand how this works in practice, let’s look at a previous shipment of sweet potatoes.
DiMuto tagged and tracked each carton from origin to final destination. Using images captured at key checkpoints—packing, loading, arrival, and post-delivery—the system flagged discrepancies in condition at destination.
Quality degradation was traced back to two main issues:
Pre-shipment: Quality inspection check was insufficient, allowing defects such as early sprouting and incorrect sizing to go unnoticed
Packaging: Size of the box was too large, leading to shifting and surface damage during transit
With DiMuto’s image and trade data, the supplier and buyer were able to pinpoint exactly where the problems occurred, quantify the extent of the damage, and plan for future shipments—including improved quality inspection protocols, and new carton measurements. Adopting these solutions would result in fewer rejections, lower loss rates, and a stronger trading relationship.
Leading the Change & Closing the Loop
As food waste continues to be one of the most pressing issues in the global supply chain, it’s clear that traditional methods are not enough. The future of food distribution lies in innovation—and DiMuto is at the forefront of this change.
Through its platform, DiMuto enables brands to take control of their supply chains, reduce food waste, and ensure that food reaches consumers in its best possible condition. As the industry continues to evolve, brands must embrace this new model of distribution, not only to improve their bottom line but also to contribute to the broader goals of sustainability and food security.
By adopting data-driven, transparent, and traceable solutions, brands will not only meet the challenges of today’s food supply chain—they will help shape the future of the global food industry.
In today’s rapidly globalizing market, the agricultural sector is under increasing pressure not only to feed the world but to do so sustainably. With consumers increasingly demanding transparency, evidenced by 94% likely to remain loyal to a brand that offers complete transparency (Source: Forbes), businesses can no longer overlook the need for visibility in their supply chains. Furthermore, with environmental regulations such as FSMA 204 and the EUDR tightening, it’s imperative for the agricultural industry to adopt more sustainable practices.
At DiMuto, we are at the forefront of this transformation, enabling brands like SoLumi Fresh to become pioneers in sustainability.

Case Study: DiMuto Tracking Oranges from USA to Vietnam
For example, DiMuto enabled the tracking of transport emissions for a shipment of Navel oranges from Oakland to Ho Chi Minh City. The platform calculated that the 7,183-nautical-mile journey generated an estimated 1,826kg CO2e of carbon emissions. Beyond just numbers, DiMuto’s integrated technology also captured verifiable images of the products at key checkpoints, offering visual proof of condition and improving accountability across the supply chain.
When quality issues emerged at the receiving end, the platform helped identify the root cause quickly—preventing recurring losses and the estimated additional 323kg CO2e associated with the rejected goods. This level of visibility allows agrifood companies to take corrective actions and optimize operations to reduce waste and emissions in future shipments.
