Challenge
The KMIT project comprising of Krishi Mangal powered by Social Alpha and supported by Cisco CSR together with IFHD and TraceX supports the maize farmers in Belgaum employed through FPOs to transition from chemical agriculture practices to sustainable forms of production. This is an initiative that brings together the power of technology, catalytic platforms and CSR for the wellbeing of smallholder farmers.
Solution
TraceX is supporting the farmer community with farm level digitization to improve their operational efficiency and achieving an optimized supply chain with the Krishi Mangal project. TraceX’s digital platform has enabled the FPOs to keep a closed loop communication with their farmers during production and sales processes to realize the potential of a federated structure.
Result
TraceX’s Blockchain platform provides end to end traceability of the supply chain enabling transparency and visibility in the agriculture system. The capturing and tracking of first mile data on real-time basis helps to follow sustainable practices to ensure a quality and safe product to the end consumer.
Lingan Gowda, a farmer in Belgaum says, “The Krishi Mangal-IFHD-TraceX (KMIT) project has enabled us to use household ingredients for pesticide preparation to realise sustainable yields. The training sessions have helped us to adopt sustainable and effective agriculture practices while providing better market linkages”
Farmer distress, unsustainable agricultural practices and climatic stress are disrupting the productive landscapes. Agricultural activities lack transparency and traceability. Yet, there exists an unprecedented opportunity for technology interventions to scale up sustainable and affordable solutions. The data driven agriculture platforms can reach the farmers regardless of their location, connecting them to the best sustainable practices and market linkages at reduced costs
Anand is a young farming member of Laxmivenkateshwar FPO, Dadibhavi FIG LT3, Belgaum. He holds a total 3.5 acre of farmland in Dadibhavi village, growing various crop based on the season and geographic conditions.
Challenges
Anand is one of the many farmers who has a number of challenges of under production where they cannot often produce sufficient food to feed their families and earn a decent livelihood. There are many factors that contribute to low yields.
The stakeholders must help connect farmers to increase their farming capacity to address the supply and demand challenges. The FPOs need to have a cohesive approach with the farmers to achieve enhanced productivity and profitability.
Let us see how the Trace- Gro module works for Anand.
Anand Bhimappa Lamani, today has a greater clarity on his crop management and yields. He is able to visualize the expenses incurred and the sales he has realized with the profit margins. It gives Anand a sense of satisfaction that he has got a return on his investment with all fairness and transparency with this digital traceability system.
The TraceX solutions brings all the stakeholders in the maize supply chain on to a collaborative platform to improve the productivity and profitability of farmers and strengthen the sustainable supply chain. The technology edge helps to combine both Agri– expertise and business perspective to assess markets, analyse supply chains and pilot new ventures. The KMIT project has leveraged these benefits to guarantee sustainable livelihoods for thousands of farmers in Belgaum district
