Singapore, 20 June 2023 – DiMuto, an AgriFintech trade management solution, has partnered with Wismettac Foods, Inc. (Wismettac Foods), a global agricultural and marine products trading company, to digitize its product offering, enabling food traceability and supply chain visibility across its various import and export operations. 

Wismettac Foods is one of the major subsidiaries of Wismettac Group, which mainly supply the world with Japanese food. Its group has been bringing food from throughout the world to Japan for over a century now, and its business has been expanding driven by its group slogan, “Bringing the world’s food to Japan and the Japanese food to the world”.  The Wismettac Group has a strong presence in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific with offices in 45 locations worldwide.  

The agribusiness of Wismettac Foods imports fresh and frozen produce from around the world and sells it extensively to the Japanese domestic market. Wismettac Foods have one of the largest shares in the imported citrus fruit market in Japan due to our position as general Japanese import-agency of Sunkist Growers Inc. The company also focuses on exporting Japanese branded fresh produce such as strawberries and apples, which has been highly valued, especially in Southeast Asia. 

Under the partnership, Wismettac Foods will implement DiMuto’s digitization technology across its global fresh produce packing facilities. Pre-and-post shipment product data and QC information can now be effectively captured on one single platform and managed in real-time. This transformative move will provide Wismettac Foods with enhanced visibility throughout the supply chain, enabling them to closely monitor product quality at every stage. By connecting this information to sales orders on the DiMuto Platform, both for exports and imports, Wismettac Foods can effectively manage product quality, reduce food waste, and minimize product quality claims. The traceability program has already been successfully implemented for Japanese strawberries, apples, and sweet potatoes, and Wismettac Foods plans to extend it to other fruit categories, both domestically and internationally, with traceability for Vietnamese bananas being deployed next. 

Wismettac Foods is keen on leveraging the distinctive branding opportunities presented by DiMuto’s traceability solutions. Through the integration of DiMuto’s QR codes, all fruit supplied by Wismettac Foods can serve as a powerful communication tool, providing end consumers with access to essential product origin and provenance information. By simply scanning the QR code, consumers can seamlessly retrieve the DiMuto Product Passport, which automatically retrieves relevant supply chain traceability data from the platform. In addition to gaining insights into health information and the dedicated farmers behind the produce, consumers can actively participate in exciting lucky draw promotions and provide instant feedback to Wismettac Foods. This innovative approach allows Wismettac Foods to effectively showcase the unparalleled care and meticulous attention to detail invested in cultivating Japanese fruits, while significantly strengthening the brand presence of these premium products. 

“We are thrilled to partner with DiMuto in our pursuit of transforming the Japanese fresh produce industry. With DiMuto’s advanced traceability solutions, we can provide our valued customers with unparalleled confidence in the quality and origins of our fruits. This collaboration allows us to differentiate ourselves in the market and forge new avenues for growth, both domestically and internationally. We are excited to embark on this journey with DiMuto and look forward to a fruitful partnership,” said Yoshimitsu Chiba, Executive Officer of Wismettac Foods Co., Ltd. 

“We are delighted to collaborate with Wismettac Foods, Inc. in revolutionizing the traceability of Japanese fresh produce. Through our cutting-edge solutions, we aim to empower Wismettac Foods, Inc. to showcase the exceptional quality and authenticity of their products, strengthening their market position and enabling expansion into new regions. We are committed to supporting Wismettac Foods, Inc. throughout their digital transformation journey and anticipate mutually beneficial growth in the future,” said Gary Loh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of DiMuto.

Carbon trading is an emerging and innovative weapon in the fight against climate change. It is a market-based solution that allows industries to balance their carbon footprint by trading emission allowances. Using this solution, companies can sell their surplus allowances to others struggling to stay within their emission limits, thus creating a financial incentive for organizations to reduce their emissions.

The beauty of carbon trading lies in its cost-effectiveness. It encourages those capable of making substantial reductions in emissions to do so, as they stand to gain economically by selling their excess allowances. Conversely, companies that find it expensive to curb their emissions can purchase extra allowances, thus balancing their carbon output. This market-driven approach promotes efficient use of resources and encourages the development and adoption of green technologies.

Furthermore, carbon trading allows for flexibility. Instead of a uniform, one-size-fits-all solution like a carbon tax, this system acknowledges that companies are at different stages of environmental adaptation and provides multiple routes to achieve emission reduction targets.

The Challenge of Transparency and Traceability in Carbon Trading

However, the effectiveness of carbon trading is threatened by the potential of mistrust within the market. Participants must be confident that the carbon credits they purchase represent real, quantifiable, and permanent reductions in emissions.

Today, there is significant scepticism especially in the voluntary, unregulated, offset market – present carbon offset initiatives are plagued by double-counting and vague standards. In a report published on Jan 18, The Guardian asserted that more than 90% of carbon credits generated by avoided deforestation projects and accredited by Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn voluntary offsets market, do not represent genuine carbon reductions.

How can carbon trading create both scale and real positive climate impact at the same time? This can be achieved by accessing transparent, traceable, and accurate data about projects and their supply chains. Without efficient and accessible mechanisms to monitor emissions accurately, these issues are hard to address. Accurate data is fundamental to carbon trading, but its collection and verification remain significant challenges, calling for a reliable solution that ensures transparency and traceability.

DiMuto’s Trade Management System: A Game-Changer for Carbon Trading in the Agrifood Industry

DiMuto’s ESG Dashboard on Desktop

Designed to provide unassailable traceability for Agrifood supply chains, DiMuto’s technology is a powerful tool in solving many of the issues plaguing carbon trading within the industry.

DiMuto offers a farm-to-fork solution that captures critical data points with our solutions, that can eliminate data silos to form an accurate picture of sustainability levels. Our blockchain-powered solution helps to ensure immutability, showing the who, what and when of data inputs and creating foundation of trust. This level of traceability allows companies and regulatory bodies to confidently trade carbon credits based on real, quantifiable data.

Additionally, this data is then aggregated automatically on DiMuto’s ESG Dashboard, which helps Agrifood business owners to easily see the environmental impact of their operations and follow product lifecycles in real-time with useful analytics. These analytics can then be immediately generated into a report for it to be shared with relevant parties.

Capturing and analysing this data regularly and reliably empowers Agrifood business owners to identify opportunities for sustainable improvements, assess their progress, and determine new targets, helping to fuel a data-driven movement of food sustainability.

In conclusion, while carbon trading presents an effective, flexible, and economically attractive solution to emission reduction, it’s not without its challenges. However, with the advent of technology solutions like DiMuto’s Trade Management Solution, these hurdles can be overcome, paving the way for more effective and transparent carbon trading and, ultimately, a more sustainable future.

A Need For Digital Transformation of Agrifood Supply Chain

In the face of a growing global population and the intricacies of the agrifood supply chain, digital transformation has become a necessity rather than a luxury. The shift from traditional methods to digitalization and automation is vital to enhance efficiency, transparency, and sustainability. By digitizing operations and breaking down data silos, real-time communication and collaboration among stakeholders can be achieved. QR code labels and digital twins, exemplified by DiMuto, facilitate supply chain visibility and data capture from production to distribution. Incorporating technologies like IoT, sensors, and blockchain enables informed decision-making, waste reduction, and increased efficiency. AI and data analytics further contribute by predicting yields, optimizing routes, and tailoring production. Sustainability is a driving force behind this transformation, allowing resource conservation and waste reduction, ultimately leading to a more sustainable food system with environmental and social benefits.
