AgriClear (a product of “Rumsan Associates Pvt. Ltd.”) is a blockchain-based system that helps in tracking good agricultural practices from its production phase till it reaches the end consumers to define agro-products quality and authenticity. It ensures transparency and traceability of agro-products, allowing customers to scan labels with smartphones to access detailed supply chain information. For instance, apples from Jumla have significantly higher demand in the market because they have a unique identity. Such a unique identity will make local products more competent while greatly enticing the buyers to buy and farmers can get a fair price for their products.
