Agri-Commerce & Markets
B2B Produce Marketplace
List with the evidence already attached, and get paid without chasing.
A multivendor marketplace where the listing carries the platform record — analysis, assurance status, provenance, carbon figure — rather than a description and a phone number. Escrow, verified counterparties and transaction-based trust ratings address the payment risk that keeps most farm-to-buyer trade in established, uncompetitive channels.

The ground reality
What is actually happening in B2B marketplace in the UK
UK agricultural trading is concentrated in a small number of established marketplaces, with grain and livestock platforms between them registering a substantial share of UK farms. The differentiator available to a platform that already holds the production record is evidence: a listing that arrives with analysis, assurance and provenance attached is worth more and settles faster than one that does not.
Figures are as published at the time of writing. Farm policy and payment rates change frequently — verify against the primary source before relying on any number here.

B2B Marketplace — a walkthrough
A working pass through B2B marketplace: entering the record once, and watching it appear in the evidence pack, the calendar and the scheme application without being typed again.
- 0:00 What the module is for
- 0:48 Entering the record
- 2:05 Where it appears next
- 3:20 The evidence pack
Photography slots state their own brief until the shot is commissioned, so the layout never shifts when real images arrive.

Tools you actually use, not screens you read
These are working interfaces inside the module — maps, calculators, planners and dashboards that respond to your own holding data.

How B2B Marketplace runs, start to finish
The module is modelled as a state machine, so at any point the business knows exactly which stage every record is at and what has to happen next.
-
1
Verify the seller and the holding
This is where the record starts, and getting it right here removes work at every later stage.
-
2
Create the listing with evidence attached
The platform prompts only for what this stage genuinely needs, and carries everything forward.
-
3
Receive and negotiate offers
Conflicts with scheme rules, regulatory windows and existing commitments are flagged here rather than discovered later.
-
4
Accept and generate the contract
Capture works offline, so this stage is completed in the field rather than remembered afterwards.
-
5
Fund escrow
Everything recorded at this point becomes evidence automatically, in every format that will later ask for it.
-
6
Arrange haulage and move
This is the stage most businesses currently do twice, once for the operation and once for the paperwork.
-
7
Confirm quality on receipt
Results feed the whole-farm view, so the effect of this stage is visible against the rest of the business.
-
8
Release payment and rate the counterparty
The cycle closes here, and what is learned is carried into next season's plan rather than lost.
Who uses it
Built around four real jobs, not one generic user
Each of these people needs something different from the same record. The module is designed so none of them has to work around the others.
Arable seller
Marketing 3,000 tonnes
Wants competitive bids without giving up payment security.
Feed compounder buyer
Raw material procurement
Needs verified specification and assurance before committing.
Livestock dealer
Trading store cattle
Needs health and movement history attached to every lot.
Haulier
Backload matching
Needs collection jobs matched to existing routes.
Schemes and funding
Support schemes this module works with
Agrivencia holds these schemes as data, so eligibility, payment rates, caps and windows update the day they change rather than at the next software release.
Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026
Pay farmers for environmental actions taken alongside food production, as the principal replacement for area-based direct payments in England.
Defra / Rural Payments Agency EnglandAdding Value Grant
Support investment in processing, packing and marketing that adds value to primary agricultural products.
Defra / Rural Payments AgencyRates, caps and windows change frequently and sometimes without notice. Always confirm against the current published scheme rules before applying.
Measurement
How you will know it is working
The module reports against these measures from the day it is switched on, so the value is demonstrable rather than assumed.

Questions answered
What people ask about B2B Marketplace
Does this replace the software I already use?
Not necessarily. Agrivencia integrates with authoritative sources and mainstream packages rather than insisting on replacing them. Where an incumbent does one job well, the platform connects to it; where the job spans several systems and nobody does it, the platform does it.
Will it work where I have no signal?
Yes. Field capture in B2B Marketplace is offline first, storing locally and synchronising when a connection returns. Only around a fifth of UK farms report reliable signal across the whole holding, so this is a design assumption rather than a feature.
What happens when the scheme rules change?
Scheme rules are held as data rather than code, so a rate change, a cap change or a window closure is a content update that takes effect the same day. The platform also alerts you to what the change does to your own position.
Who owns the data I put in?
You do. The Farm Data Charter gives you a complete export in open formats at any time, and every instance of data sharing requires an explicit, revocable consent that is visible in your account.
Does it work if I farm across a border?
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons the platform exists. A business with land in more than one nation sees one reconciled view rather than two portals, with obligations and deadlines from both administrations in a single calendar.
Can my agronomist or land agent use it too?
Yes. You grant scoped, time-limited access per holding and per module, and you can revoke it in one click. Advisers never get a shared password or a blanket view.
What is the biggest limitation of this module?
Counterparty payment default. Mitigated by escrow and verification. We would rather state that plainly than let you discover it after signing.
Documents
Take it away with you
Everything here is printable and works on a kitchen table with no signal. Where a document asks for an email address, it says so on the button rather than after you press it.
