Agroterra is an agro internet platform which allows farmers and agrobusinesses to publicise and sell their goods and services without intermediary costs. It currently runs two websites (agroterra.com ), in Spanish, and (agroterra.co.uk ), its UK counterpart. == History == The company was founded by Juan Martínez Climent in 1999, an agronomic engineer from Valencia, Spain.〔JMC blog〕〔El Pais http://www.elpais.com/articulo/red/Agroterra/com/fomenta/negocios/payeses/pasar/intermediarios/elpeputeccib/20031211elpcibenr_2/Tes〕 By the end of 2009, Agroterra's website was receiving over 650 thousand visits a month and had over 65 thousand registered suppliers. In early 2010, visits were growing at 2.7% a month or 37% a year.〔Based on figures from Google analytics: on 04/01/2010 there had been 650,385 visits in the month to date and on 04/03/2010 there had been 685,892 in the month to date〕 2010 also marked a breakthrough for the company because it launched the UK version of the site, (agroterra.co.uk ). The company also launched German ((agroterra.de )) and French ((agroterra.eu )) versions of the site in 2010. In September 2010, the CEO, Juan Martínez Climent and UK Country Manager, Mike Lee, spoke before the European Commissioner, Mrs Joanna Drake, at the Brussels Google Office about the company's past and its plans for the future. The company was selected to speak as an example of a successful web-based SME in the European Union.〔http://www.pin-sme.eu/〕 Current investors are Marek Fodor and Lluis Faus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agroterra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
