Abstract: An interactive database and real time exchange system for specialty commodity products and other products that must have their identity preserved from trade to delivery. The database includes specialty commodity products available from member producers and other information related to such products, and is accessible to system users, preferably through an interactive network system. An automated exchange director provides for real time matching of specific products in the database with corresponding bids from system users, and executes trades of accepted matches for identified units of the specific products. A delivery module is provided in communication with the exchange director, and implements delivery logistics and tracking of the identified unit between the trade and completed delivery. The system can further include a forum interactive module which allows communication between and among system users, such as through chat rooms and specific product forum pages.
