Gro-connect.com platform launches to connect farmers to restaurateurs

April 2, 2020

Gro-connect.com has launched its global food-supply chain networking platform allowing buyers, like restaurant operators, to connect with farmers directly. The brand said its platform serves as a neutral and safe hosting destination where food-supply chain users can launch their profiles to connect with others on the platform that want to sell or buy nationally and globally, according to a news release. 

The global food service market in 2018 was $3.4 trillion and estimated to reach $4.2 trillion by 2024, according to the release. The company said the platform works well, even with the disruption brought by COVID-19, to connect food sellers to restaurant users and others. 

Gro-connect.com is signing on new members now, and is currently waiving the yearly membership fee until the COVID-19 global pandemic clears. The membership-based digital connection tool for farmers and buyers promises that it permits users to communicate directly without having to make cold calls or spend lots of time on searches for their needs.
