FarmerLink is a data platform for smallholder farmers in developing countries, enabling them to make informed decisions for entrepreneurial farming and establish meaningful connections with group members, agents, clients, suppliers, and financiers.
Collaborative Farmer Groups and Efficient Factories
Our solution offers offline data capture and real-time registration for farmers, farmer groups, plots, products, production, and sales, ensuring timely, synchronized, and centralized information.
Farmers retain full data ownership and have the authority to share relevant information with related parties, granting permission as they see fit.
We have achieved connecting thousands of farmers across Africa in different supply chains, including cashew, rice, vegetables, maize, cowpeas, and sesame. This initiative has strengthened agricultural networks, benefiting communities and promoting sustainable practices.
In addition to the FarmerLink basic version, we offer a suite of digital services.
The EU anti-deforestation regulation extends its scope to encompass seven specific commodities and their derivatives. It mandates that companies engaged in the import and export of these commodities substantiate their deforestation-free status, applying universally regardless of their location.
In anticipation of these regulatory demands, companies should proactively undertake a series of strategic measures, including the thorough accumulation of data, a comprehensive evaluation of compliance risks, and the streamlining of supplier processes to ensure a smooth transition to a deforestation-free supply chain ecosystem.
FarmerLink fully embraces EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance. This is achieved by significantly enhancing traceability, promoting transparency, and fostering sustainable practices across complex supply chains, integrated with deforestation satellite imagery data cross checking.
✅ The main benefit is to have full compliance to the EUDR, to access the European market.
FarmerLink offers the capability to collect and report data in accordance with carbon credit principles, establishing a transparent and sustainable evidence base. This includes measuring plantation size and characteristics and quantifying potential and realized carbon sequestration in alignment with criteria and the ISO 14064 standard.
Our platform allows farmers to participate in the carbon credit market, attracting clients for carbon offset. Essentially, farmers can produce sustainably, with well-maintained plantations sequestering carbon, providing an additional service that benefits the public by reducing atmospheric carbon emissions.
✅ The primary advantage lies in the integration of carbon sequestration as a service within the value chain, provided by the farmer and acknowledged and rewarded by the various actors in the chain.
The traceability system in FarmerLink involves various supply chain actors such as farmers, aggregators, processors, and international buyers. It utilizes an integrated lot code system to track sales transactions, enabling both backward and forward tracing of lots throughout the supply chain.
FarmerLink also provides warehouse management features to monitor inbound and outbound transactions and track stock inventories in each warehouse. Additionally, it offers integration with weighing devices at different locations.
✅ The main benefit is greater chain responsibility and compliance with certification standards throughout the chain, offered to and rewarded by the consumer.
FarmerLink provides a feature to enhance the relationship between financial service providers and farmer organizations. This feature, called "Access to finance and contract management," enables financial service providers to gain a comprehensive view of farmers' assets and operations.
Our platform also offers farmers a digital application to assess potential loan requests and submit them to the financial service provider. The system also monitors the loan amount through farmers' transactions, providing insights into contract execution and payment progress.
✅ The primary advantage is enhancing transparency, improving transaction efficiency, and maintaining a reliable transaction history, which ultimately leads to better risk assessment and an enhanced reimbursement rate.
