The Seam, founded by leading global agribusiness companies, began operating the world's first completely online, neutral exchanges for cotton trading in December 2000. Since that time, other commodities such as grains, dairy, and peanuts, and food products have been added to the company's trading platforms. Recently, the company responded to market demands by developing advanced online trading and procurement tools for products that expand beyond agricultural commodities. To date, The Seam has processed over four billion dollars of trading transactions for commercial and government clients.
