Farmer Networks & FPOs
QR-Based Digitisation of Mandi and Village-Level Procurement
Procurement at the mandi is fast, cash-driven and undocumented. Digitising it without slowing it down is the whole design problem.
The challenge
- Purchases happen in minutes across many farmers, and any system that adds time at the counter will be abandoned by the first busy morning.
- Farmers receive handwritten slips, creating payment disputes that consume staff time weeks later.
- The buyer has no farm-level record, so nothing about origin, variety or practice is available downstream.
How the platform solves it
Token-based farmer identification
Registered farmers carry a QR token linked to their farm record, so identification at the counter is a scan rather than a conversation, and the transaction is attached to a mapped plot.
Fast intake capture
Weight, variety and grade are captured in a few taps with weighbridge integration where available, keeping counter throughput intact.
Instant digital receipt
The farmer receives a printed or messaged receipt with rate, weight and amount, which removes the dispute category that generates most downstream staff work.
Batch creation at the point of purchase
Each purchase creates a traceable batch linked to the farm, so mill or warehouse intake later resolves back to source without any reconstruction.
Outcomes
- Procurement digitised without slowing the counter
- Payment disputes reduced by immediate itemised receipts
- Farm-level origin available for every purchase
- A procurement dataset usable for compliance and emissions reporting
