TODAY'S MARKET PRICES:
KEY AGRICULTURAL RESOURCE ON THE WWW

There is a new valuable agricultural resource on the World Wide
Web, Today's Market Prices:

http://www.todaymarket.com

This service provides, within its MARKET PRICES SERVICE, daily
price information on more than 120 fruit and vegetable commodities from all
the wholesale markets of USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Taking raw information from the United States Department of
Agriculture, news report and firsthand market data, TMP develops useful
tables, ordered by product, market or origin of the commodity, including
its variety, size, packaging type and bid price, plus the weather market
conditions of that day and offerings trend.
TMP is continuously growing whit more specific services. At this
moment, it offers price data on citrus fruits, berries, melons, non-citrus
fruits, vegetables, onions, potatoes, miscellaneous herbs and tropical
fruits.
Some special services are on the road:
- A weekly report from the Rotterdam Fruit and Vegetables Exchange
Auction Market, that reflects the movement of the most important point of
entry of Europe.
- A twice a week report from Japan: the F&V prices of the Tokyo
Central Wholesale Ota Market.
- The daily Shipping Points prices of the USA.
Today's Market Prices data is organized in a very clear and
distinct way, far from the sometimes confusing direct markets reports.
Because of that the service includes a special packaging abbreviations
page, that is the first step of a complete product resource with topics
like packaging, regulations, demands, etc.
TMP is essential to growers, shippers, wholesalers, retailers,
researchers, scholars, farmers organizations and governative offices.
It's completed by a helpful GREEN LINKS page, where the
"agri-surfer" will contact hundreds of related sites, and a GREEN BUSINESS
CORNER, to electronically post product offerings or requests.
All the people involved in fruit and vegetable trade has to know
Today's Market Prices, an original information source for those who want to
be up-to-date in agribusiness.
Thank you for your time.
