Grão Direto operates a digital commodities trading platform that connects farmers and buyers to negotiate prices, delivery conditions, and other terms securely through its system. The platform aims to speed up and reduce the cost of grain transactions versus traditional telephone-based negotiation. Management says it provides more information and integration to support both sides of transactions and to digitize the grain chain. Grão Direto plans to use new funding to expand operations across Brazil, further develop its products and services, and partner with other tech companies and financial institutions. The company raised seed funding (R$2.3 million / $633k) to support these initiatives. Its model fits a broader trend of agribusiness marketplaces digitizing input purchasing and crop marketing globally.
