HOW IT WORKS
bext360 utilizes machine vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to source high-quality agricultural products directly from the source. bext360 makes digital/mobile payments to the farmers, communities, banks, and other stakeholders utilizing block chain payments directly to the stakeholders. The bext360 system then tracks the goods from the source to the end consumer, allowing the end consumer to interact directly with the communities that provide the goods. Lastly, bext360 provides a complete RESTful API to allow wholesalers and retailers to embed the technology into their own websites, marketing, point-of-sale systems, and supply chain management tools.

SINGLE ORIGIN FAIR-TRADE
Provides fair and transparent analysis and payments to ensure all coffee meets Fair-Trade standards and works directly with the Point of Origin communities.

ANALYSIS AND PAYMENTS
bext360 Machines collect, analyze, and make electronic payments to all stakeholders at the Point of Origin of the coffee and provide critical data to improve the quality of the coffee.

BUILD COMMUNITIES
Enables buyers and other organizations with direct paths to improve the quality of both the product and the communities that provide the coffee.

TRACEABILITY (SAAS)
Provides a RESTful API, allowing all data to be imbedded and private labeled into wholesaler or retailer marketing and loyalty programs.

Minespider is an open blockchain protocol for creating digital certificates for raw materials in the supply chain.  These certificates contain a company’s certifications, licenses, and other responsibility information and assigned to a mass and shipment of material, and passed along the supply chain along with the material shipment.

Minespider works with global brands, governments, industry groups and civil society to create an open and collaborative infrastructure that will underpin the raw materials trade.

How did it all begin?
After Guido van Staveren van Dijk started to investigate how conventional supply chains could be radically improved so producers receive a truly fair share of the deal.  As a result, he founded a company, Moyee Coffee, in 2013 that grows premium quality coffee and gives the farmers an extremely fair deal for their efforts. This is the first FairChain showcase project, and the coffee industry is a perfect example of the problems we see in many commodity value chains. FairChain is a radical principle that aims to balance the scales. Our goal is to create a 50/50 balance between the producers and the consumers. We are well aware of how ambitious this objective is.

Blockchain Revolution
Blockchain promotes honesty and radical transparency, and connects our farmers and consumers like nothing ever before. Put lightly, blockchain has the potential to turn the global coffee industry on its head. Which is why the FairChain Foundation is working with KrypC, a pioneering developer of technologies that streamlining critical supply chains in emerging economies. Our partnership with KrypC makes Moyee the first European coffee maker to introduce fully blockchain-traceable coffee.

Moyee’s FairChain coffee is roasted locally, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. For Ethiopians, this is entirely new. They’ve never been involved in the valued added side of the business. Our Addis Ababa roaster uses the latest western industrial technologies, but in Ethiopia and run by Ethiopians. Working together with leading universities in the Netherlands and Ethiopia, we’re educating a new generation of Ethiopian smallholders, entrepreneurs and roasters on how to turn a profit with their most precious resource: coffee. The knowledge we share and the local supply chains we establish lead directly to higher living incomes, urban employment, industrialization, investments, and pure, net profits in Ethiopia. This isn’t aid, but trade. Not pennies, but an entire ecosystem of value adding activities that will put more money in the pockets of Ethiopians.

The key to increase the recycability is to design products in a way that they can be recycled at the end of life and to track sustainability information of raw materials and products

The solution provides authorized users with immediate access to actionable food supply chain data, from farm to store and ultimately the consumer. The complete history and current location of any individual food item, as well as accompanying information such as certifications, test data and temperature data, are readily available in seconds once uploaded onto the blockchain.

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution is working to ensure that trust enables, rather than hinders, the expanding food system. With capabilities for safer food, longer shelf lives, reduced waste, faster traceability, and better access to shared information, IBM Food Trust can empower you to meet the new standard for transparency and trust.

“It is not just about building the technology, it is about building the ecosystem,” Brigid McDermott, vice president for blockchain business development at IBM, said.

Wal-Mart said in June that blockchain trials had helped it narrow the time it took to trace the movement of mangoes to 2.2 seconds from about seven days.

A single recall could cost anything from tens of thousands to millions of dollars in lost sales, Wal-Mart’s head of food safety, Frank Yiannas.
