Explore our Farm Management Platform

Farm and Farmer Management 

The farm and farmer management feature in the platform encompasses various functionalities aimed at efficiently onboarding and managing farmers within the system.  

Farmer Onboarding/Registration 

This involves capturing essential details such as plot ID, survey number, water source, soil type, address details, production practices, and landholding information. Farmers are individually registered via the mobile app or web platform, and their data can also be imported in bulk using Excel templates. 

Additional Details Capture 

In addition to basic information, critical details like Global GAP Number, Government Unique Code, and Farmer Contract Agreement are captured for each farmer, enhancing traceability and compliance. 

Farm Geo-Mapping 

Geo-coordinates of farm boundaries are plotted by field officers during farm visits, allowing for accurate mapping of farm plots. This feature provides visibility into farm boundaries and crop areas, facilitating effective farm management and monitoring. 

Onboarding Farmer Groups 

Farmer groups are created based on geographic areas and managed by field staff throughout the crop lifecycle. The organization’s team is responsible for creating and managing these groups, ensuring streamlined coordination and communication between farmers and field officers. 

Crop Master 

The Crop Master feature in the project facilitates comprehensive crop cycle digitization and management across various crops grown by farmers in different geographies.  

Crop Variety Configuration 

Project managers or crop planning heads can configure different crop varieties grown by farmers for the current season. This includes associating crop varieties with specific farmer groups, defining crop measurements, input plans, cost of production, and other preferences. 

Input Plan Creation 

 Users can create recommended input plans for crop varieties based on crop activity types, input categories, products, dosages, and multiple input options. This feature helps in planning and managing inputs effectively throughout the crop cycle. 

Package of Practice (POP) 

 Users can develop crop calendars for the entire crop cycle using Package of Practices (POP) associated with specific crop varieties and input plans. This feature ensures adherence to recommended agricultural practices, optimizing crop yields and quality. 

Harvest Planner 

 Users can set up harvest estimates and patterns for each configured crop variety for the required crop season or year. This includes defining harvest types, whether single or multi-harvest, and planning harvest activities accordingly. 

Post-Harvest 

Process Master Creation 

The Project/Operation Manager (Packhouse) will establish a Process Master for each SKU (Finished Goods) according to business requirements. 

Grading 

Raw produce received from farmers is cleaned. The produce is sorted and graded based on physical, chemical, and other parameters set by organizational guidelines. Users can select individual or multiple batches for grading. Details are entered in the input and output sections, with a summary page for verification. Upon submission, a new batch is created. 

Packing 

Graded produce is packed using pre-determined packaging materials configured in the Process Master. Users select the required batch of inputs and specify quantity details. Users select the output product SKU and quantity details for packing. 

Streamlined Produce Transfer and Valuation Process 

The raw produce procured from farmers will be transferred from their storage facilities to a designated warehouse for further processing or necessary actions.  

At the warehouse, the admin will receive the batches sent from the farmers’ plots, verifying the actual sales details through the view receipt, Accept GRN, and Buy functions. This process ensures transparency and accuracy in recording the received quantities. 

The procurement manager determines the price of the produce, which will be used to calculate the final net-off value for the farmer. This amount will account for the cost of inputs distributed to the farmer for the crop season, ensuring they receive a fair and accurate payment from the organization.
