Statistics
4 May 2001, USA
Dear Dr. Ecommerce:
I am attempting to find some statistics/information on the state of eCommerce in Agriculture, specifically the grain and feed industries. Are there any eMarketplaces up and running - if so - what are their web addresses. Also any information relating to businesses willing to pursue and invest in eBusiness opportunities would be helpful.
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Rod
Dear Rod:
I put your question to Jack Lee of Paradigm RedShift Limited, who responds in detail:
"There are already a number of ebusiness sites working in the agricultural market. Below are a sample of sites. As expected they are mainly operating in the US market.
Funding can come from a variety of sources, and will depend on industry, founders, business stage etc. A good starting point is www.paradigm-redshift.com/funding.htm. [Dr. Ecommerce's note: in addition, the US government provides various kinds of funding for agriculture related activities. Check the US Department of Agriculture's web site to see if there is anything there for you.]
