THE UK'S #1 ONLINE CROP MARKETPLACE
Hectare Trading helps 1,000+ farmers get the best price for their grain with localised market insights and access to verified buyers
WE ARE HECTARE
BUILT BY FARMERS, FOR FARMERS
2015 — Hectare Agritech & SellMyLivestock
Hectare Agritech was founded in 2015 when schoolfriends Jamie McInnes, founder and CEO, and Dan Luff, a beef farmer in Hampshire, spotted a need for direct farmer-to-farmer trading in the livestock industry. Using their backgrounds in tech and farming they launched SellMyLivestock, now the UK’s largest online livestock market with a growing audience of 163,000+ farm decision makers.
2016 — Graindex
In 2016 arable farmer Andrew Huxham joined the founding team to launch Graindex, an online grain trading platform, for farmers to connect with a network of verified buyers. Graindex became the UK’s #1 crop marketplace, offering easily accessible market opportunities for both buyers and farmers.
2023 — Hectare Trading
In 2023 Graindex was relaunched as Hectare Trading, offering new digital features, as well as localised market insights to make it easier than ever to trade with confidence.
