Quality parameters like the MRL limits are also tracked to ensure adherence to standard levels. The harvest details of these products are planned and monitored. Timely alerts are configured to alert the farmers.

Post-Harvest

The post-harvest processes are configured which normally include Cleaning, Sorting and Grading. Batch management and Inventory management aid in tracking and tracing of products in the supply chain. This helps in Recall management and prevents losses due to food wastage.  The transactions are recorded in digital ledgers of the blockchain and are shared on a collaborative platform assuring visibility and transparency among the various stakeholders in the supply chain.
