E-Chain

Knowledge platform that meets the information needs of a range of stakeholders throughout the crop value chain.

Value Chain

The value chain of a seed represents all the stages and activities involved in production, processing, and marketing, from cultivation to selling to consumers.

Seed Traceability

Seed traceability refers to the ability to track and document the origin, history, and journey of a seed from its initial production to its final use.

Elite cultivars

This module presents the varieties from the country and regional catalog. For each variety, we generate a QR code that allows tracking of availability, best practices, etc.

Directory of producers

This module lists seed producers along with their locations. The producers are classified according to the type of seed: foundation, pre-basic, certified, etc.

Cultures declaration

This module manages the crop declaration process for each agricultural campaign. For example, in Senegal, the DISEM is responsible for controlling and validating seed producer forecasts.

Distribution of seed packets

This module allows to record the productions and packages received by each producer during a given agricultural campaign.
