The company makes digital/mobile payments directly to all the stakeholders in the supply chain, including farmers, communities, banks and others. Their system tracks the goods from their source to end consumer, enabling customers to directly interact with the supplying communities. Their first machine will be tested in California and then launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Columbia.

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.

But it is initiated to solve the persistent problem of agriculture industry, which are crop price volatility and farming data integrity.

Sara farm can be 4P smart farm innovator and paradigm shift for data management and utilization system.

Why 4p

  1. Participate: Farmers proactively participate with our incentive system  instead of responding
  2. Predict: In Sara Farm platform,  we can predict the total production based on the gathered data from farmers
  3. Personalize: we customize the production based on the total collected data and individual farmers data and reward and motivate
  4. Prevent:  Different from crop insurance, we take the preventive measure for crop price stability based on the data management and token economy

The Foundation’s objective is to limit the need for development aid with sustainable consumption. We collaborate with and contribute to business models that create positive externalities and are purpose driven to positively impact ecosystems.

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.

GrainChain’s vision is to create a software ecosystem that empowers farmers in the global grain industry who wouldn’t normally have the budget to invest in certain technologies.

GrainChain wants to level the playing field and reduce the number of intermediaries needed to complete a transaction. GrainChain does this by providing a transaction platform for the sale and purchase of grain and other commodities.

Overall, GrainChain helps farmers engage with more buyers and increases trust and transparency throughout the value chain so that all actors can access information on the quality of the seed. In many instances it helps farmers increase profitability. For GrainChain, this starts in the fields of South Texas, where more than 1,000 farmers use its platform to generate smart contracts for the sale and purchase of grain. The farmers are paid instantly, and buyers receive immediate title to the commodity.

GrainChain runs its platform with the help of blockchain technology. It works with two systems: a logistics system called HarvX and a grain governance system called SiloSys that tracks and maintains movement of a seed from the producer to the farm, including data on the origin of the seed, authentication of the seed, and seed storage.

GrainChain’s blockchain solution is designed to collaborate with existing software systems that use its API. Therefore, GrainChain’s platform records all of this collected data in an immutable record that is perpetually linked to the commodity and the participants.

When a farmer has a certain quantity of grain to sell, the farmer creates a smart contract sales agreement with all the sales terms defined — including logistics, storage, pest control, quality of the grain, and location — on GrainChain’s platform. The buyer can then evaluate the information on the smart contract and add variables to it. By accepting this smart contract, the buyer is effectively accepting the terms that the farmer included.

GrainChain’s platform then calculates the net value for the contract and digitally escrows the buyer’s funds. Once the grain is delivered to the agreed-upon settlement location, it is verified by the system, and the buyer’s funds are automatically put into the farmer’s GrainChain wallet and converted to the local currency, which cuts out international banking and transfer fees.
