Freight Rate Partnerships SCTC already negotiates export ocean freight rates for dried fruit and tree nuts. There is an opportunity to enhance value with a digital rate comparison tool, freight analytics, and a carrier marketplace to simplify carrier selection.

Member Services Upsell SCTC provides arbitration, resources, and advocacy, creating opportunities to monetize premium services such as tailored arbitration support, market intelligence, regulatory updates, and sponsored events for member firms.

Digital Platform Needs The current technology stack suggests room to modernize with a member portal, CRM integration, marketing automation, and improved onboarding to attract and retain more exporters.

Industry Networking Expansion There is potential to partner on joint programs with other trade groups to broaden reach, cross promote services, and drive referrals among dried fruit and nut exporters and related agri businesses.

Growth Readiness A lean team and mid range revenue indicate SCTC could benefit from outsourced operations, IT support, and scalable services to accelerate growth and enhance member value.
