The internet site of the BMTI was set up with the following principles in mind:
There follows a brief description of the five items in the main menu.
Who we are
The Borsa Merci Telematica Italiana, instituted in accordance with Ministerial Decree 174/06, is the on-line market for agricultural, food and fish products. The general aim of the BMTI is to provide market operators with an on-line platform which enables daily and continuous management of deals from remote locations. The Borsa Merci Telematica Italiana is a regulated and novel tool aimed at facilitating matching sales and buying offers and offering efficiency, transparency and rationality in the market place.
Market
The Borsa Merci Telematica Italiana manages the on-line platform for dealing in agricultural, food and fish products. The on-line system was set up with the aim of matching demand and supply of a product via a continuous auction mechanism of the one-to-many type, which also reflected market dynamics and enabled prices to be settled in real-time. On-line markets are disciplined by Special Product Regulations, predisposed and adopted according to the indications of the Sector Committees and the National Deputation, and the General Dispositions for dealing on the BMTI.
Market analysis and prices
This section of the site gives access to BMTI's products with the aim of providing information and analysis on markets (on-line and not), and promoting a new culture of price transparency.
Services
As well as access services to the on-line platform and information on the markets (prices, reports, analyses and product research), BMTI provides registered operators with accessory on-line dealing ervices.
Communication
The communication area informs market operators, Chambers of Commerce and media on the main activities of the Borsa Merci Telematica. The area is articulated in four sections: Events, Comuniqués, Press, Newsletters, Press Office.
