"We redesigned the website to eliminate the perception that E-Markets was trying to do business directly with the farmer because that's not the case," states Scott Cavey, president and chief operating officer for E-Markets. "We are about helping local agribusiness retailers, elevators, food processors and input manufacturers interact with their customers and suppliers more efficiently and strengthen those relationships."

The website shows how it is more cost-efficient and less time-consuming for agribusinesses to use E-Markets applications rather than duplicating those functions for themselves at the local level. The new website features demonstrations of E-Markets online grain pricing tools, order management systems, contracting and traceability system and product trading exchange application. Visitors to the website can also access a series of e-commerce white papers, review the company's experience, examine E-Markets security provisioning platform and link directly to client websites that have integrated E-Markets applications into their business operations.
