TradingProduce.com, the world’s premiere business-to-business e-commerce site for the agriculture and food industries, has announced a joint-venture agreement with Tong Yang MoolSan Co., Ltd., which is a multi-billion dollar Korean conglomerate with a heavy emphasis in agriculture.

“This will be a full-blown operation with sales, marketing, engineering and a data center in Korea,” said TradingProduce.com CEO Rob Bonavito. “We are very pleased to begin our world-wide roll out with first announcing our Korean joint venture. This is a tremendous opportunity in the import/export business with Korea, primarily in the meat and produce industries.”

The multi-faceted company was founded in 1960 as Bokun Enterprise Co., changing its name to Tong Yang MoolSan Co., Ltd. in 1962. The head office is in Seoul, Korea.

“We are very excited about bringing e-commerce solutions to Korea,” said H.I. Kim, vice chairman of Tong Yang MoolSan Co., Ltd. “We have been most impressed with TradingProduce.com’s technology which allows a buyer to do his job with only two clicks of a mouse.”

TradingProduce.com further enhanced its strength in developing international markets last week with the addition of Juan C. Batista as Vice President in charge of the Produce Products Division.

In his roles as a businessman and government advisor, Batista has done business in, or is familiar with the markets in 25 countries. He is currently an active member of advisory committees on fruits and vegetables for the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and the U.S. Trade Representative as well as the U.S. Department of Commerce’s District Export Council. “This is an exciting time because e-commerce will further open bi-lateral trade doors with Korea,” Batista said. “The economic potential both domestically and internationally is phenomenal.”
