How it works

End-to-End Traceability

Every lot carries a record signed at each hand-off — harvest, fermentation, drying, packing, delivery, processing, release.

Supply Chain Journey

Seven recorded stages, each with a date, a location, and a responsible party.

01

Harvest

Pods cut and logged per plot by the farmer.

02

Fermentation

Box fermentation, duration recorded in days.

03

Drying

Moisture measured before the beans move.

04

Packing

Sacks weighed and tagged with the lot number.

05

Delivery

Transfer from cooperative to warehouse.

06

Processing

Beans become nibs, paste, or butter.

07

Finished Good

Lot certified and released for export.

Data Collection
