'Transaction app provides good insight into price movements'

On February 1, the three thousandth participant of the Transaction app registered and that is Martin Boersma, arable farmer from Zeewolde. He received a tasty whipped cream cake from DCA, the organizer of the Transaction App, for this festive moment. For Boersma, the daily transaction overview has added value. "The Transaction App is an accessible way to be reliably informed about the prices in the market."

As is the case with many participants in the Transaction App, colleagues in the agricultural sector point out the convenience of the online service. "You can easily and independently see what the prices of different products or services are. The number of transactions made is broad," says Boersma.

With the Transaction App, agricultural entrepreneurs share purchase and sales transactions with each other via WhatsApp, ranging from onions, interest, diesel, plant protection products, contract work, carrots, straw, manure, grain, planting material and much more. Boersma indicates that during this period, he mainly looks closely at arable crops. "Potatoes and onions appeal to me the most at the moment, and maybe later crop protection products, diesel and contract work as well."

By registering for the DCA Transaction App, you will be informed daily of the current prices, bundled together in one WhatsApp message. This way you always have insight into the market price developments in your region, completely free of charge. This is also the reason why Boersma signed up: "The added value of the Transaction App lies in being aware of price developments in an easy, accessible and non-binding manner."
