Cutting the fat out of the livestock industry
About Us
Agora Livestock, established in 2018 as LIVEstock Pricing, has transformed into a comprehensive platform offering price discovery, market access, and supply chain efficiency for livestock stakeholders in Australia. Despite its recent inception, Agora Livestock leverages years of industry expertise to cater to the needs of buyers, sellers, and agents in the livestock market.
Company Overview
Agora Investment Highlights
Efficiency
Agora Livestock was founded on the basic premise that it should be easy for buyers and sellers of livestock to find each other. In the context of today's technology-driven society, it argues that individuals shouldn't have to rely on outdated saleyard prices to inform their future decisions. The platform enables sellers to discover who is interested in buying their livestock and allows buyers to easily find those who are selling the livestock they wish to purchase.
Control
Agora Livestock is grounded in the belief that the decision of whom to conduct transactions with should rest solely with the buyers and sellers, not intermediaries. As a company, Agora Livestock does not engage in buying, selling, or trading livestock, nor does it operate as a livestock agency. This independence is a cornerstone of its market position, enabling the platform to build trust with over 12,000 producers and 100 livestock buyers. It's precisely this autonomy that has propelled the product to its current standing in the industry.
Accessibility to Prices
Agora Livestock does not compel buyers and sellers to alter their business practices. Instead, it provides them with the necessary tools to make well-informed decisions and to tap into a broader range of markets.
Agora Marketplace
Agora Livestock Marketplace is tailored for its community of over 7,000 users, streamlining the buying and selling process of livestock with an array of advanced features.
