ITASTE Father River Product Line and Supply Chain Management

Problem and implemented solution

The challenge addressed by ITASTE was the fragmentation and inefficiency in the agricultural supply chain, particularly in the rice and grain sectors. Traditional distribution methods limited scalability, while demand for high-quality, processed agricultural products was growing internationally. ITASTE implemented an innovative solution combining both online and offline sales channels, leveraging an “Internet + Agriculture” model. This approach integrates horizontal e-commerce platforms and vertical multi-platform projects to streamline the supply chain, improving access and market penetration. The solution also includes autonomous customer acquisition (CA) systems and a network of over 370 food retail stores, blending O2O (online to offline) strategies and multimedia marketing.
