Market Development Services
Connecting Producers and Buyers - CatGen software developed by IFAT member Peoplink allows IFAT members to display products online. The separate databases are linked and can be searched from the IFAT website, enabling members to get in touch with buyers from all over the world.
Financial Services for Producers - The Shared Interest Clearing House, another IFAT member, provides credit, advance payments and various financial services to producers, enabling them to grow their business at favourable rates.
Publications and Advice - IFAT has teamed up with partners such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development to make innovation more readily available to producers. Products include advice guides and manuals on various topics (e.g. "How to Participate in Trade Fairs") and an online library is currently being set up on the IFAT website.
