- Liquidity Rewards: Users contributing liquidity to the platform are incentivized with $AGRI.

A Bold Step for Global Agriculture
AgriDex is on a mission to democratize and decentralize agricultural trade by leveraging blockchain technology to streamline transactions and ensure fairness in pricing. The company’s innovative platform connects farmers, traders, and buyers, offering transparency, security, and efficiency in agricultural transactions.
“Today marks a significant milestone in our mission to democratize and decentralize global agricultural trade,” said Henry Duckworth, Co-Founder and CEO of AgriDex.
“$AGRI ensures that farmers and traders worldwide benefit from fair prices, secure transactions, and sustainability-driven rewards. It also drives the efficiency and inclusivity of our platform.”
A Proven Success in RWA Transactions
In July 2024, AgriDex successfully completed its first on-chain private transaction. This milestone involved the shipment of over 200 bottles of extra virgin olive oil and multiple cases of wine from South African farms and vineyards to London. The transaction highlighted the platform’s ability to reduce costs and transaction times drastically.
Adrian Vanderspuy, Owner and CEO of Oldenburg Vineyards, commented:
“We settled the first-ever trade on a public blockchain, and it is now on its way from South Africa to London. The funds came into our AgriDex account in seconds rather than days, and the fee was £5. This will help us reduce transaction and remittance costs, as well as the time it takes to receive payments.”
