Berry Marketplace, the new platform that seeks to reshape category trade worldwide
Nuvagra, a Romanian ag-tech company, launched Berry Marketplace, a B2B platform built for the international berry trade. The platform is open to producers, traders, exporters, importers, processors, and buyers trading blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and other berries.
According to the firm, Berry Marketplace aims to bring structure and transparency to a sector that still relies heavily on informal channels such as phone calls, WhatsApp messages, emails, and commercial relationships that are difficult to verify.
Berry Marketplace: a one-stop shop for berries
Alex Cojocaru, Nuvagra Co-founder and CRO, said he and his team were inspired to develop a solution after years of working with berry producers and traders. During that time, he said, they kept running into the same problems: a lack of transparency, difficulty finding the right partners, and heavy dependence on informal relationships.
“Producers and buyers often work through informal networks and verbal agreements, which creates commercial risk and a lack of visibility,” added Nuvagra Co-founder and CEO Ioan Ambrozie. “Berry Marketplace transforms this process into a structured flow, in which every transaction is clear, verifiable, and scalable.”
The platform allows companies to post available lots, send requests for quotes, and trade with verified partners within a framework that includes automatically generated contracts, reputation mechanisms, market and price intelligence, and quality-control and dispute-resolution processes.
Unlike agricultural platforms focused on local markets or commodity-type categories, Berry Marketplace is built for cross-border trade in a segment where seasonality, product quality, and logistics have a major impact on every transaction.
The platform is currently available in Europe and Latin America, with plans to expand globally.
