How TraceX’s Real-Time Farmer Verification Dashboard Transformed Agribusiness Traceability & Compliance

Agribusinesses worldwide face growing pressure to ensure traceability, sustainability, and regulatory compliance while managing thousands of smallholder farmers. Manual farmer verification processes, scattered data, and lack of visibility have made compliance with regulations like EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation), FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act), and ESG sustainability standards increasingly difficult. 

To address these challenges, several agribusinesses adopted TraceX’s Real-Time Farmer Verification & Land Coverage Tracking Dashboard, streamlining compliance, enhancing traceability, and optimizing field operations. 

Farmer Verification Dashboard

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.

The Challenge: Gaps in Farmer Verification & Land Coverage Visibility

Lack of Visibility in Farmer Networks 

  • No centralized system to track verified and unverified farmers. 
  • Difficulty in identifying compliance risks due to incomplete farmer data. 

Manual, Paper-Based Verification Processes 

  • Farmer registration and land validation require physical visits, paperwork, and manual GPS tracking. 
  • Long delays in verification slow down sourcing and compliance checks. 

 Regulatory Non-Compliance Risks 

  • EUDR and FSMA compliance require precise farm location data, but manual methods are unreliable. 
  • Without accurate land coverage tracking, businesses risk rejected shipments, regulatory fines, and supply chain disruptions. 

Difficulty in Proving Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing 

  • No clear visibility into deforestation-free sourcing. 
  • Need a way to document responsible land use and fair trade practices for audits and certifications. 

Solution Needed: A real-time digital platform to automate farmer verification, track land coverage, and ensure compliance without delays or errors.
