Cutting the fat out of the livestock industry.

Our story

The platform is new but our experience is not. Agora Livestock was founded in 2018, and initially called LIVEstock Pricing. It has evolved from a simple service that shared livestock prices, to a platform providing price discovery, market access and supply chain efficiency for Australia’s livestock buyers, sellers and agents.

What is Agora?

The ancient Greek term Agora referred to a central public space in a city – it was a public open space used for assemblies and markets. It provided a workspace, a market, and a place to communicate freely. The name has strong alignment to the products we are creating, providing a central place for buyers and sellers to communicate efficiently and simply.

 

Efficiency

Agora Livestock was built on the simple belief that buyers and sellers of livestock should be able to find one another. That in today’s technology-driven society, buyers and sellers shouldn’t be limited to yesterday’s saleyard prices to make tomorrow’s decisions. Sellers should be able to find out who wants to buy their livestock and buyers should be able to find people who have the livestock they want to buy.

Control

We believe buyers and sellers should decide who they deal with, not someone else. Agora Livestock doesn’t buy, sell or trade livestock and we aren’t a livestock agency. And this independence has been critical to our position in the market. It’s our independence that has allowed us to earn the trust of over 12,000 producers and 100 livestock buyers and has driven the product to where it is today.

Accessibility to prices

We don’t force buyers and sellers to change how they do business, but instead, equip them with the tools to make better-informed decisions and access more markets.
