In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I chat with Gary Loh, CEO of DiMuto, about transforming the global agri-food trade. Gary shares his journey from finance to agriculture, and how his company is using AI, blockchain, and IoT to tackle the massive 30% food waste problem and create more transparent supply chains.

We discuss why traditional data silos are holding back progress, how technology can empower smallholder farmers, and what FSMA 204 means for the future of food safety and trade compliance. Gary also shares insights on adapting to shifting tariffs, climate impacts, and changing consumer demands.

If you’re curious about supply chain transparency, sustainability, or how digital tools can cut waste and improve efficiency in food systems, this conversation is for you.
