Streamlining Harvest Procurement with Farmer Tokens

In many agri value chains, harvest procurement is messy — ledgers, manual approvals, phone calls, price confusion, and last-minute bottlenecks. 

A leading tobacco manufacturer working with thousands of smallholder farmers in rice and maize struggled with delays, discrepancies, and missed pickups during procurement seasons. Field teams were overwhelmed, farmers were unsure of pricing, and they lacked visibility. 

They turned to TraceX’s digital token generation system, built on farmer agreements, crop configurations, and plot-level data, to bring structure, speed, and accountability to the process.

About the Company

VST Industries Ltd aims to implement Traceability throughout their organization, from sowing/plantation to tobacco leaf export. They seek to manage their farmers, farmlands, field technicians, and tobacco procurement comprehensively. Currently, they utilize Grower Management System & Farmer Procurement System, which they intend to replace with TraceX’s solution. This application will serve as both a farmer management system and procurement & processing system for tobacco, establishing a unified source of truth for their produce.
