Market Maker

MarketMaker is a national partnership of land grant institutions and State Departments of Agriculture dedicated to the development of a comprehensive interactive database of food industry marketing and business information. It is currently one of the most extensive collections of searchable food industry related data in the country. MarketMaker has been implemented in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas to provide a region-wide tool that connect fisheries to markets. Via MarketMaker, the Gulf of Mexico seafood industry has greater access to businesses such as grocers, restaurants and hotels where they can sell their products.

Enhance market access of the fish harvesting and processing sector. It is the largest and most in-depth database of its kind featuring a diverse community of food-related businesses: buyers, farmers/ranchers, fisheries, farmers markets, processors/packers, wineries, restaurants and more. MarketMaker provides simple yet powerful search tools to connect with others across the production and distribution chain.
