Blockchain-Powered Traceability Solutions For Potato Seed Production 

-A Government of Punjab initiative
Traceability That Starts with the Seed: The Future of Food Safety

Traceability and certification of seed potato by blockchain technology
PAGREXCO is implementing seed potato traceability with the help of Blockchain technology. The objective is to ensure production and multiplication of high-yielding certified/quality seed potatoes in sufficient quantities and make the potato seeds available to farmers nationwide.

What We Do

  • We enable digitization (software and hardware), traceability, compliance and sustainability for seed potatoes in Punjab.
  • Develop climate-smart farm advisory, field task monitoring and scheduling for all selected fields and farmers.
  • Develop value chain and provide market linkages between farmers and buyers and develop new markets. Provide audits, analytics and reporting across geographies.
  • Provide transparency and connection from the source to the last mile of the seed potato supply chain.

INFORMATION

The PAGREXCO field teams will configure the best package of practices for each seed variety on platform. They will also receive real-time intelligence about local weather, crop growth, crop health, potential pest infestations, and crop diseases.

COMMUNICATION
The PAGREXCO field teams will configure the best package of practices for each seed variety on Cropin’s platform. They will also receive real-time intelligence about local weather, crop growth, crop health, potential pest infestations, and crop diseases.
DATA CAPTURE
Capturing farm data at critical points establishes end-to-end traceability to the life cycle of seeds. Following tests for quality assurance and certification by PAGREXO, unique QR codes are printed on each seed potato packet during the packaging and warehousing process.
How We Do It

We empower farmers to capture several parameters through every stage of production and monitor them systematically to produce superior quality seed
potatoes.

  • Real-Time monitoring management and certification compliance inspections.
  • Geotag farm plots to establish the origin of seeds to the exact farm location and to enable end-to-end traceability, allowing buyers to verify the authenticity of the seeds
  • Field team and farmer enablement through Mobile Apps
Tracebility
PAGREXCO has partnered with CropIn Technology Solutions to
implement the first-of-its-kind ‘Seed Potato Traceability Solution’
in the potato value chain. This enable buyers to trace the origin
of the seed potatoes and determine exactly where the seeds are
coming from, how the seed potatoes were cultivated, and
whether they are PAGREXCO-certified or not.
Marketing

PAGREXCO is facilitating the farmers of Punjab by providing
them good-quality potato seeds such as quality seed grade potato.
This directly increases their productivity and helps them
earn more for their production.

Seed source for seed potato traceability

Seed can be grown by any farmer, but its source, i.e. CPRI, must be traceable at each stage.
We follow two methods for seed potato production.

Four – Generation model
Breeder seed – Foundation seed (I) Foundation seed (II) – Certified seed

Tissue culture-based potato seed production
Mother Plant
Multiplication through tissue Culture(8-12) Cutting/Subculture)
