How MyCrop Is Using Blockchain To Identify Spurious Seeds
21 March 2019 9:28 AM IST
MyCrop is piloting a project in one of the rural villages in Gujarat, using blockchain to identify spurious seeds during its supply chain, from production to farmers.
- Ahmedabad-based agritech startup MyCrop is currently testing blockchain in the seed supply chain to track its entire supply movement — from seed aggregators, distributors, retailers to farmers.
- Generally, genuine seed producing companies apply QR Code on their seed bags, helpful in tracking its distribution from the point of aggregators and distributors until it reaches the retailers.
- The startup has currently on-boarded local seed growers, distributors, retailers and farmers as stakeholders in the project’s seed supply chain.
- Once the process of filtering spurious seeds is complete, the distributor creates another block in this chain upon receiving the seeds and the QR Code is applied atop the package as tracking method until it reaches the retailers.
