Sustainable Supply Chain Cutting Food Waste & Reimagining Agri-Trade By Aligning Incentives And Utilising AI, Blockchain and IoT
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Gary Loh, CEO of DiMuto, who brings a refreshing perspective on fixing the fractured agri-food trade. Gary’s insights shine a light on the 30% of food wasted globally and how digital tools like AI, IoT, and blockchain can help us reduce that figure.
We discuss why traditional silos, where growers, packers, shippers, and retailers rarely share data, need to be broken down. Gary explains how DiMuto’s approach aligns economic incentives for everyone in the supply chain, driving transparency and reducing food waste. He also delves into how real-time data is empowering smallholder farmers, opening up access to trade financing and reducing costly claims.
We also touch on the impact of US tariffs, shifting climate conditions, and FSMA 204 compliance, and why digital transformation is no longer optional. Gary’s journey from finance to agriculture shows that real change comes when you address the incentives and give farmers and buyers the tools to see the full picture.
If you’re serious about building a transparent, resilient supply chain, or just curious how aligning incentives, AI and data can cut waste in our global food system, this episode is worth a listen.
