LocalAg Vision & Mission

Vision

Mission

To leverage the best of Feed Central to build a transparent and trusted marketplace backed by people and personal services.

What’s LocalAg?

You are able to Buy and Sell many different agricultural products, working directly with each other to make the deal and organise delivery.

Feed Central’s LocalAg connects buyers and sellers across the country, taking a small percentage fee on the price of the product once it has been sold. On this platform, buyers and sellers can chat to each other and the chat will be reviewed by “Kev” our LocalAg AI team member, whose job it is to help you with the deal and to make sure that your contract is sound. Kev is there to make sure everyone gets a fair go.

When the deal is done you will be able to print the contract, which is generated from your conversations within the chat.  You will have several opportunities to confirm or change details before finalising the arrangements.

Setting up your preferred payment method in advance means that when you close a deal or agree to a contract you are protected and can deliver or receive products with confidence and without delay.

He is experienced and knowledgeable, an everyman who is always there to chat, offer advice, or lend a helping hand.
