Challenges Faced in the Seed Market.

In the heart of India’s agricultural landscape, the state grappled with a persistent challenge: the infiltration of spurious seeds, jeopardizing the livelihoods of its farmers and the integrity of its crops.  

  • High demand for seeds can create an opportunity for unscrupulous suppliers to introduce spurious seeds into the market. 
  • In some regions, the seed sector may be largely informal, with a significant portion of seeds being produced and distributed by local suppliers who may not adhere to quality standards. 
  • The absence of digitalization in the seed supply chain contributes to rampant instances of spurious seeds infiltrating the market, posing significant risks to farmers’ livelihoods and crop yields. 

Solutions

Seed traceability, facilitated by TraceX, ensures a transparent and reliable journey for seeds, from production to customer sales. 

 

Grower Traceability 

 

TraceX enables tracking of seed lots from their origin in seed production to processing in the seed company. This comprehensive tracking helps verify the authenticity of seeds by tracing their source, ensuring quality and trust in the seed supply chain. 

 

Forward Traceability 

 

Post-processing in the seed company, TraceX continues to track seeds until they reach the farmer for sales. This forward traceability feature monitors the journey of seeds after processing, providing insights into their distribution and sales process. Farmers can trust the journey of seeds from production to purchase, ensuring transparency and reliability in the seed supply chain. 

With TraceX’s seed traceability solutions, stakeholders can confidently navigate the seed supply chain, ensuring authenticity, quality, and transparency every step of the way.
