A Nigerian trading company operating in the cocoa sector faced significant challenges in accurately mapping their farm plots. Due to the irregular spread of cocoa plants and the challenging terrain of their rural farm locations, traditional methods of farm mapping proved inefficient. In addition to these challenges, the company struggled with poor connectivity in remote areas and mobile screen limitations, making it difficult for field workers to properly capture and plot farm boundaries.
A leading Nigerian trading firm specializes in the export of premium cocoa beans and cashew nuts. With a focus on quality and sustainable sourcing, it has built a strong reputation, sourcing directly from 5,000 to 8,000 farmers. Despite their success, the company faces challenges in effectively managing data and ensuring traceability throughout their supply chain.

The company’s field officers found it particularly difficult to map cocoa farm plots with precision using mobile devices. The issues included:
To address these challenges, the Nigerian trading company adopted TraceX’s “Walk and Plot” feature, an innovative addition to the farm management mobile application. This tool allowed their field officers to seamlessly map farms, even in areas with poor connectivity, by working in both offline and online modes.
By adopting TraceX’s Walk and Plot feature, the Nigerian trading company successfully addressed key challenges in farm mapping, especially in the cocoa sector. The ability to map farms in challenging rural areas with unstable connectivity and complex farm shapes has improved operational efficiency and enabled better traceability and certification. This solution ultimately supports the company’s efforts to drive sustainable practices and maintain transparency across the cocoa supply chain.
