  • The deal underscores the scalability and interoperability of DiMuto’s trade management platform as an effective solution for global supply chains

  Singapore, 23 September 2019 – DiMuto, a tech-based trade solutions platform that provides endto-end supply chain visibility for global businesses, has expanded its footprint into the USA by closing a deal with major citrus packer Fancher Creek Packing (“Fancher Creek”). Using DiMuto’s Track & Trace blockchain solution, Fancher Creek will tag citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons and grapefruits, from the US to various parts of Asia.

  Located in Visalia, within the agricultural San Joaquin Valley, Fancher Creek’s packing facility is strategically situated in the heart of California’s Central Valley, which grows over 250 different crops, with an estimated value of US$17 billion, annually. Central Valley is also responsible for a quarter of the food production in the US. Fancher Creek works with growers, packers and shippers to provide citrus produce to the rest of the US, as well as overseas markets,such as Japan and Korea. Additionally, DiMuto will aid Fancher Creek in expanding its distribution channels by penetrating Southeast Asian markets in DiMuto’s trade network, including Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

  As part of its trade solutions, DiMuto’s Track & Trace blockchain technology is a low-cost, effective solution that seamlessly integrates with supply chain workflows and existing systems to create traceability and accountability for each fruit, from farms, factories, cold chain to distribution channels and end consumers. Every single fruit is tagged with a QR label, photographed and tracked at each stage of the supply chain to provide end-to-end, 24/7 visibility from farm to fork. Data is encrypted and loaded onto the distributed digital ledger, enabling verified documents and data to be shared on a single platform, reducing trade disputes over quality and strengthening trust amongst all parties.

  Mr Gary Loh, DiMuto’s Founder and Chairman, said, “We are tremendously excited to be working with Fancher Creek to break into the US market and establish a presence in California’s Central Valley. The adoption of our technology by more players across the global produce industry underscores the scalability of our all-in-one trade management platform. It is platform-agnostic and interoperable among the different blockchain systems currently used by the big international retailers, and we envisage a faster rate of market adoption for our trade solution asretailers are increasingly requesting for suppliers to go on the blockchain to complete end-to-end traceability. As such, DiMuto ensures that we meet the needs of our global clients by adhering to internationally-accepted and business-led standards.”

  DiMuto was most recently inducted into the GS1 Singapore Solution Partner Program (“SPP”) to offer blockchained trade management solutions for member companies of the not-for-profit Global Standards 1 (“GS1”) based in Belgium. As part of the SPP, DiMuto’s solutions can be easily adopted by GS1 supply chain players all over the world for their trade management needs.

• DiMuto launches Track & Trace blockchain platform with deal to digitise four million durians in the upcoming durian season for Thailand’s largest durian exporter (Sep 30, 2019)
  • The Singapore-based startup is the first in the world to transform fresh durians into traceable digital assets
  • DiMuto’s Track & Trace solution provides a whole new level of visibility to Queen Frozen Fruit’s supply chain partners, minimising trade disputes while building trust and collaborative commerce within the durian trade
  • This increased transparency solves one of the biggest issues faced by the fresh fruits industry - access to traditional bank financing; opens up new trade finance avenues for businesses  
  • Enables trade financing partner, Havenport Investments, to confidently quantify and mitigate financial risks associated with the fresh fruits industry, which are often deemed to be onerous

  Singapore, 11 July 2019 – DiMuto, a trade technology service that provides end-to-end supply chain visibility for global businesses, has closed a deal with Thailand’s largest fresh durian exporter and frozen durian producer – Queen Frozen Fruit (Queen) – for the upcoming durian season. DiMuto will tag, track and trace around four million fresh durians from Thailand to China, Japan and other parts of Asia.

  The Singapore-based startup is the first in the world to transform fresh durians into traceable digital assets. Under the deal, DiMuto is expected to turn four million durians into traceable digital assets from now to December 2019, enabling each durian to be uniquely tagged, photographed, tracked at each stage of the supply chain. DiMuto’s Track & Trace blockchain platform seamlessly integrates with supply chain workflows and existing systems to create traceability and accountability for each of the durians, from farms, factories, cold chain to distribution channels and end consumers.

  Data is encrypted and loaded onto the distributed digital ledger, enabling Queen and its trade partners to obtain end-to-end, 24/7 visibility to the entire supply chain, from creating trade contracts, monitoring packing status, product receipt confirmation to customer feedback. This in turn allows Queen to share verified documents and data with its partners on a single platform, reducing trade disputes over quality and strengthening trust with its customers and trade partners.

  The increased transparency solves one of the biggest issues faced by the fresh fruits industry: access to traditional bank financing.

  “Securing funding from banks has always been a challenge in the fresh fruits industry as risk managers cannot see what is happening behind the scenes. Due to the disconnected visibility in the supply chain, the industry is paying a heavy cost for trade disputes, food safety breaches and wastage. DiMuto’s overarching goal is to address these challenges by creating trust, demystifying global trade and fuelling the growth of this industry. In the process, we aim to level the playing field for the underbanked SMEs in the industry by opening up new trade finance avenues for them,” said DiMuto’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Gary Loh.

  With the full supply chain visibility provided by the Track & Trace blockchain solution, DiMuto’s trade finance partner, Havenport Investments (Havenport), can now conduct more accurate credit assessment and extend trade financing to more quality businesses.

  Havenport has started providing trade financing to Queen, which has 14 fresh durian packing houses across the country, and four factories to produce Thai tropical fruits for domestic sales and exports to over 30 countries. In 2018, Queen was responsible for over 10 million durians exported to international markets and its total company revenue amounted to US$271 million.

  “Our collaboration with Queen establishes us as a key player in the global fresh fruits industry, and our partnership with Havenport is testament to the assurance we can provide to empower fund managers to venture into industries previously considered to be too much of a risk,” added Mr Loh.

  The partnership between Havenport and DiMuto could potentially extend beyond the fresh fruits industry, as Havenport plans to expand its trade financing portfolio by leveraging on the DiMuto’s technology where possible.

  “With Havenport’s institutional-style process and risk management, our starting point for our investment solutions has always been to look at risks. DiMuto’s blockchain technology is an excellent solution for us to quantify and isolate the risks of related trades, and be in a stronger position to attribute liability. This will enable us to confidently provide trade financing to a wider range of quality and profitable businesses, especially those that have traditionally been unable to obtain bank financing. In particular, we focus on businesses that are uncorrelated to the volatility of the broader equity and bond markets,” said Mr Patrick Tan, Managing Partner, Havenport.

  Established in 2018, DiMuto has captured global growth momentum with the support of key produce industry leaders in Asia and the Americas. It has also formed strategic partnerships to empower trade financing in the fresh fruits industry, and to build global industry benchmarks for trade blockchain solutions. Beyond durians, DiMuto is set to apply its technology to other produce categories, such as longans, mangosteens and avocados. During its three-month product trials between March 2019 and June 2019, DiMuto has tagged 1.2 million fruits (durians, apples, avocados, lemons and oranges) for various industry players in the US, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and China.

• DiMuto joins GS1 Singapore Solution Partner Program (SPP) to offer blockchained trade management solutions (Sep 30, 2019)

  Singapore, 11 July 2019 – DiMuto, a tech-based trade solutions platform that provides end-to-end supply chain visibility for global businesses, has joined the GS1 Singapore Solution Partner Program to offer blockchained trade management solutions for companies using GS1 systems.

  Complementing GS1 standards, DiMuto’s all-in-one trade management platform aims to tackle key issues that are hampering global trade in the agri-food cold chain market, including financing, supply chain transparency, access to new markets as well as food safety and wastage. Specifically, it aims to level the playing field for small and medium- sized fruits businesses to compete with big global brands.

  Its Track & Trace blockchain technology is a low-cost, effective solution that is integrated into supply chain workflows and existing systems to create traceability and accountability across the entire supply chain. This is enabled through DiMuto’s Digital Asset Creation (DAC) system to digitise physical goods, such as fresh produce, into traceable digital assets allowing users to track the assets at each stage of the supply chain.

  Apart from addressing the problems arising from the disconnected visibility, its trade solutions platform provides meaningful data analytics to help industry players better understand buyers, optimise production and sales, and improve their business operations. In addition, DiMuto is working with its customers to provide trade financing and, with its established network of industry players across the world, access to new export markets.

  Mr Gary Loh, Chairman and Founder of DiMuto, says, “DiMuto’s goal to demystify global trade and enable collaborative commerce ties in with GS1 Singapore’s efforts to improve supply chain management among its member organisations. Blockchain solutions form only one part of our all-in-one trade management platform. We will be rolling out more modules that leverage the latest technologies to benefit our customers’ operations. We look forward to working with GS1 member organisations to provide trade solutions derived from the best practices established by global supply chain standards.”

  Since its establishment in 2018, DiMuto has captured global growth momentum with the support of key produce industry leaders in Asia and the Americas. It is building global industry benchmarks for trade blockchain solutions with PwC Singapore’s Venture Hub. In June 2019, DiMuto closed a deal with Queen Frozen Fruit, Thailand’s largest exporter of durians, to tag, track and trace over four million durians. Its trade financing partner, Havenport Investments leverages the Track & Trace solution to conduct more accurate credit assessment and provide financing to Queen Frozen Fruit.

  During its product trials between March 2019 and June 2019, DiMuto tagged 1.2 million fruits (durians, apples, avocados, lemons and oranges) for various industry players in the US, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and China. It is set to apply its technology to other produce categories, including longans and mangosteens.

• Havenport Investments partners DiMuto to finance the durian trade using blockchain technology (Oct 01, 2019)

  • Havenport, an asset management and wealth services company, to provide trade financing to Thailand’s largest durian exporter

  • Adoption of DiMuto’s blockchain technology to track and trace every single durian from farm to fork enables Havenport to manage and mitigate risks; and confidently finance the durian business – a trade that banks typically find challenging to fund due to the “almost impossible” task of managing risks associated with the fresh fruits industry.

  • Achieves breakthrough in trade financing as the partnership with DiMuto empowers Havenport to finance a wider range of quality businesses, including non-conventional ones that traditionally would require more onerous risk management.

  Singapore, 17 June 2019 - Havenport Investments (Havenport), managed by veteran fund managers Patrick Tan and Joseph Tern, has started providing trade financing to Thailand’s largest durian exporter - Queen Frozen Fruit, thanks to its partnership with blockchain technology company DiMuto.

  This is a breakthrough in trade financing as the onerous task of managing financing risks associated with the fresh fruits industry has largely prevented banks and financial institutions to extend credit lines to related businesses.

  The partnership with DiMuto empowers Havenport to more holistically manage and mitigate risks related to the durian trade. DiMuto’s Track and Trace blockchain technology provides Havenport with end-to-end supply chain visibility of goods and money flow, as it digitises every single durian from farm to fork, enabling real-time monitoring of assets and clear documentation of every single trade transaction. Apart from mitigating invoice and goods tampering risks, the technology allows Havenport to determine and price the associated risks, effectively managing risks and opening new borrowing opportunities for small and medium size enterprises, and concurrently investment opportunities for Havenport’s investors.

  “With immutable blockchain technology, we are better able to quantify and isolate the risks of this trade and be in a stronger position to attribute liability. This will enable us to confidently provide trade financing to a wider range of quality and profitable businesses, particularly those that have traditionally been unable to obtain bank financing. Providing such financing is particularly beneficial to Havenport’s clients who are primarily income focused corporate and individual accredited investors, as we seek to deliver steady and regular coupon payouts, in a trade that is largely insulated from and uncorrelated to the volatility of the broader equity and bond markets.” said Mr Patrick Tan, Managing Partner, Havenport.

  Established in 2010, Havenport is an asset management and wealth services company that serves the investing needs of banks, wealth managers, financial advisors and individual investors. It structures and creates income-producing investment opportunities for passive investors, delivered in a secure and risk conscious manner. These solutions are particularly relevant in today’s aging bull market.

  Havenport’s founders, Mr Tan and Mr Tern, are veterans in the asset management industry, having held leadership roles in Legg Mason, DBS Asset Management and Rothschild Asset Management.

  “Our institutional legacy has shaped Havenport’s institutional-style process and risk management to the wide-ranging investment solutions, including new classes of alternative investments such as trade financing. This sets us apart from other trade financing players and lenders,” added Mr Tan.

  Havenport has plans to expand its trade financing portfolio to cover more suppliers, industries and product types, by leveraging DiMuto’s blockchain technology wherever possible.

  “Our partnership with Havenport shows the power of DiMuto technology, which can tag, track and trace every food or fruit item as they make their way through the entire supply chain. This not only guarantees data accuracy and reliability but also encourages quality assurance, empowering fund managers like Havenport to price the different associated risks, and provide the financing to global trades,” said DiMuto’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Gary Loh.
