Agriculture commodity traders offered unique capabilities for real-time cargo visibility, predictive waste prevention, carbon credits, and more.

‍

DCX, a global operator of sustainable platforms for agri commodities based in Singapore, and Centaur, a provider of turnkey data services for sustainable supply chains with offices in California and Greece, have agreed to cooperate to provide DCX clients with access to Centaur's Internet-of-Crops® predictive solutions. These solutions aim to prevent crop spoilage and waste while enabling sustainable supply chain management.

‍

DCX clients will now be offered access to the Centaur Internet-of-Crops®, in addition to DCX's existing global and regional marketplaces for agricultural commodities. Through API integration, the Centaur platform will empower DCX users with enhanced supply chain visibility, real-time monitoring of stored commodities, reduced spoilage risks, improved quality, streamlined operations, and increased efficiency and profitability.

‍

Furthermore, DCX clients will be able to utilize the data generated by Centaur's offerings within the dMRV solution which DCX is developing for food waste in partnership with Verdana. This integration will provide users with access to Verdana's benchmarking and measurement tools, as well as the opportunity to register and certify carbon credit claims through Eco-consortium, Asia's first Digital Carbon Registry. DCX will assist buyers in monetizing these credits through its exchange. Additionally, through Verdana, DCX clients will gain access to a dedicated US$ 800 million pool to fund carbon credit opportunities.

Stephen Edkins, Co-Founder, and CEO of DCX, expressed, "Centaur's solution and API-first architecture provide real-time product condition tracking and utilize IoT automation to improve freight and administrative inefficiencies and drive business processes. Centaur goes beyond its competition by not only understanding cargo temperature but also predicting status and condition of commodities and SKUs in each trailer. Our infrastructure is powered by AWS, and regardless of our customers' chosen ERP system, we offer a standard set of Public APIs for seamless integration and enhanced visibility."

Dr. Sotiris Bantas, President & CEO of Centaur, also expressed his excitement about the collaboration with DCX, stating, "We are thrilled to join forces with DCX, a visionary company at the forefront of digitally transforming the traditional commodity trading landscape. This partnership allows us to leverage Centaur's AI and predictive solutions for sustainable supply chains and integrate them seamlessly with DCX's advanced platform. Together, we are revolutionizing the industry by providing commodity traders with real-time supply chain visibility, predictive waste prevention, and the ability to explore carbon credit opportunities through a groundbreaking dMRV solution.

DCX – a global operator of platforms for agri commodities based in Singapore and Auravant, a digital tool that helps farmers to improve yields and perform a more sustainable farming, have agreed to cooperate to give DCX clients access to Auravant’s platform.

‍

DCX clients will get access to Auravant’s platform alongside DCX’s existing global and regional marketplaces for agricultural commodities. The Auravant solution will allow DCX users to track the emissions and soil footprint of the crops and other agricultural goods that they are producing or purchasing.  

DCX clients will then be able to feed the data generated into the dMRV solution that DCX is developing for food waste with partner Verdana. This will allow its users to access Verdana benchmarking and measurement tools as well as the potential to certify carbon credit claims through standards bodies, like CerCarbono, before putting the carbon credits up for sale. Through Verdana, DCX clients will also get access to a dedicated $800 million pool to fund carbon credit opportunities.

‍

Stephen Edkins, Co-Founder and CEO of DCX said “Auravant’s solution and API-first architecture provides real-time and historical satellite tracking that can then be layered with our own geo-located user base to assess how crops are being grown and livestock being reared ,” he said. “Our infrastructure is powered by AWS and irrespective of which ERP system our customers use, we have a standard set of Public APIs that allow for integration, enhancing their visibility.”

‍

Leandro Sabignoso, CEO of Auravant said, “at Auravant we pursue to make agricultural production more efficient by improving agronomic decision-making. We found that the way to do this was to empower farmers and advisors, through powerful and simple technologies, which allow them to make a more accurate treatment of their productions without requiring large investments or spending time training in complex technologies. With our platform, we help to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, optimizing input use and maximizing productivity in every hectare of the field.

We are happy to have found in DCX a partner who shares our vision for the development of agribusiness, with a focus on sustainable production and who knows very well the challenges faced by local farmers.”.

DCX, a Singaporebased global SaaS platform for food commodity trading and logistics, willintegrate with Verdana’s solutions that automate carbon management, facilitatecarbon certification, and provide secure and credible carbon footprintanalytics.

‍

The initial focus will be on 4 verticals – Rice, Fertilizer, Livestock and Food Waste, as well as related service areas like warehousing and freight. Together these represent the largest opportunities for carbon credit creation in the farming and food sectors with a potential to reduce an estimated 5.7 billion tons of annual CO2 equivalent in GHG emissions.

‍

DCX users will be able to access Verdana benchmarking and measurement tools as well as submit carbon credit claims for certification by standards bodies like CerCarbono, before putting the certified carbon credits up for sale on DCX’s carbon exchange,  and other  Verdana affiliated marketplaces.

‍

Through Verdana, DCX has access to Green Funding for GHG reduction, and energy efficiency projects.

‍

Stephen Edkins, CEO of DCX commented “Our partnership with Verdana allows us to plug into an end to end ecosystem for benchmarking, creating and buying credits. Our 1000+ users – who are in nearly all of the target verticals – will now get full visibility on their carbon footprint and tap into funds which will allow them to reduce it. We were particularly impressed by the Verdana commitment to transparent digitalization. Right now the process for certification is opaque and expensive. We aim to democratize that for everyone in the farming and food actors. This will increase food security while increasing income for farmers. There is no greater impact.”

‍

“DCX’s commitment towards digitization is what the carbon trade needs from all stakeholders,” said Braham Singh, Chairman of Verdana. “There is a glut of unverifiable carbon credits in the market today. At Verdana we ensure an immutable chain carries data to the standards bodies certifying the credit. Such carbon credits stand above others and command a higher price.”
