New Vendor Type: FMI-Managed
Farms in their growth stage often wish to expand their export business, but are not able to operate their own FMI accounts due to staffing or technical constraints.
FMI-Managed helps by handling all online operations on the farms' behalf, allowing farms to focus on production while reaching international buyers.
How it works:
- FMI operates the farm’s account, including product listings, availability updates, and order documentation
- A transparent service markup is applied with the farm’s consent; farms can adjust base prices to stay competitive
- Merchants experience seamless communication as with any FMI Vendor
Benefits for the farm:
- Open up a new export sales channel and sell to multiple countries, through only one point of contact (FMI)
- Reduce operational burden with FMI managing communication and coordination
- Lower payment risk and maintain full transparency in transactions
- Quickly connect with new buyers and start shipments efficiently
This service helps farms expand into international markets safely and efficiently, with professional support every step of the way.
