AgroTrace is an agricultural technology initiative combining blockchain engineering, full-stack software development, agricultural supply-chain research, stakeholder co-design, and responsible data governance.
Discuss a Partnership
AgroTrace originates from the DIPPER Lab (Distributed IoT Platforms, Privacy, and Edge-Intelligence Research Lab) at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. The platform is being developed through technical prototyping, stakeholder engagement, field-informed design, and collaboration across agriculture, blockchain, public health, and data governance.
The team has built a functional grain-traceability prototype using Hyperledger Fabric and is refining the system through testing and stakeholder feedback. The initial implementation focuses on grain supply chains, with a modular design intended to support additional agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, oils, and processed goods.
AgroTrace is currently in the testing, iteration, and pilot-development stage. We are seeking aggregators, cooperatives, processors, buyers, regulators, and development organisations to pilot the platform in real operational environments.
To make trusted agricultural information accessible across every stage of the supply chain.
An agricultural economy in which every product can carry a reliable and inclusive record of its origin, handling, and journey.
Technology must fit real agricultural workflows.
Every claim should be connected to evidence.
Interfaces and implementation approaches must account for differences in literacy, language, digital access, gender, geography, and economic circumstances.
Traceability should not require uncontrolled exposure of sensitive farmer or commercial data.
AgroTrace should complement existing systems rather than force every organisation to replace them.
Traceability should create value for farmers and frontline supply-chain actors, not only downstream institutions.
AgroTrace is developed by a team from the DIPPER Lab at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), bringing together computer engineering, blockchain development, and agricultural research.
