Mycorrhizal fungi, nature's networkers, embody our vision of symbiotic trade.
About us.
Symbitrade is rooted in the realization that just as the symbiosis between trees and mycorrhizal fungi works to mutual benefit in a healthy forest, closer networking and mutual support can also lead to success in the global food trade.
On a regular walk through the forest, Anthony encountered mycorrhizal fungi, which help trees to obtain and distribute nutrients, as a metaphor for the platform:
"We aspire to embody the symbiotic network within the commodity trade, facilitating direct connections between origins and processors. Our goal is to foster equitable exchange and guarantee traceability, all while bolstering local producers and cultivating transparency and sustainability within the commodity trade.”
