The Junar ( Sweet Orange ) of Sindhuli from this harvest season will be tracked using a blockchain-based supply chain tracking system, AgriClear. This first pilot project will track the information of Junar from its pluck date to its delivery to customers. It will include information such as origin, cooperative’s name, pluck date, distributor’s name, processing date, food mile, packaging date, and so on. This pilot project will include Junar farms associated with Chisapani Junar Producer Agri, Cooperative, Sindhuli.

The farmers and cooperative will record the data of its origin, fruit description, farm name, and pluck date. Green Growth will record the processing date, packaging date, and tag Junars with QR codes. Finally, when consumers buy this QR labeled Junar online through Green Growth, they will be able to see all this information on their mobile phone by simply scanning the QR code that comes with the Junar. This pilot project aims to make the Junar supply chain process transparent and traceable.

eSatya and Green Growth are collaboratively launching the first batch of tracked Junar this festive season. Agricultural Expertise from Junar Super Zone has helped AgriClear in technical aspects whereas Chisapani Cooperative has been providing assistance to connect with the farmers. Likewise, Baato, a cloud-based geospatial service, will be used as our navigation system to measure the food mile of Junar. Foodmile, distance traveled by agro-products before reaching end consumers, is an important metric in agricultural products as it determines the freshness and price of the agro-products.
