Many producers already publish their data as opendata into Open Food Facts database.
== Platform for Producers ==
Even if the producer has few products, producers should use the free Open Food Facts Platform for Producers: https://world.pro.openfoodfacts.org/
== Features ==
# '''mass import and/or update products''' and their pictures in Open Food Facts (via Excel files, CSV, EQUADIS)
# '''compute food indicators''' such as Nutri-Score, NOVA, Eco-Score
# '''control data before import''': data errors are reported; each product page can be simulated
# identifies '''products enhancements''': for example, a better Nutri-Score due to a small sugar or salt variation
# '''protect qualified data''' from modifications (products which passed data quality controls)
== 2021 Draft roadmap ==
=== Focus on the first-time use ===
* It should not be a blank void, but a guided journey towards automated, regular imports.
* Show guidance towards import options and available features on the empty home screen
* Ensure producers don’t end up doing manual work when they have a cleaner option.
=== Focus on acquisition platforms within the platform ===
One of the objectives is to create "platforms within the platform" so that efforts to convince producers can be distributed.
* Contributors from various countries (We've started creating localized marketing materials, and collaborative tracking tools, but we can do more)
* Distributors, Food quality labels, Food Startups & Consultants, Local Authorities with local producers
=== Create integrations with more Product Information Management (PIM) systems ===
We have a first integration with the EQUADIS PIM, and we could probably integrate with more PIMs if they are willing to for their customers.
=== Provide food processing and environment recommandations ===
The same way we provide nutritional information, we could provide food processing and environment recommandations.
== How to help ==
As an Open Food Facts contributor, you can help to spread the world and contact producers to ask them to publish their products.
One of the objectives is to create a "platform within the platform" so that efforts to convince producers can be distributed.
