Keystone Marketing Services has established a virtual presence in the commodity marketplace to attract interest in the commodity markets in value chain management systems for both buyers and sellers alike.

Consider KMS Marketing Manager™ VCMx Exchange Platform The VCMx Exchange platform brings the information, infrastructure, verification, transactional assurance, trade governance, and exchange associated services needed for large-scale product differentiation in global markets. By allowing buyers access to specific crops, varieties and quality attributes, and then identity preserving the product by shipping it in sealed containers, the inherent value can be captured. This will help reduce any additional additives and enhancements buyers need to add to the product to bring the low level of bulk commodity product characteristics up to their desired manufacturing and processing specification. Buyer production costs will be lower, as fewer additional products will need to be added, and their manufacturing processes will be simplified. There can be a substantial reduction in shipment time when containers are used versus the current bulk handling systems associated with multiple transloading facilities, trucks, hopper cars, and co-mingled products loaded on and off of ships. As buyers and sellers see the economic opportunity, there will be incentives to shift from commodities to differentiated products. As well, the virtual exchange will act to reduce transaction costs and ensure security for any trade specialty or otherwise, transacted through its platform. These features will be of major importance in attracting and servicing new types of supply chains and supply chain management services VCMx will operate as an electronic physical product and services exchange platform in a very large global marketplace. The exchange is the market coordinator and provides the virtual verification service functionality to exchange participants and the physical products in a global and expanding world trading economy. In summary, the agriculture and food industry needs better market coordination and business model innovation to drive value add trade relationships. |
