Case Study: TechnoServe strengthens tur value chain traceability with TraceX

TechnoServe strengthens tur traceability with TraceX, delivering end-to-end visibility across farmer, plot, procurement and inventory

TechnoServe India, a non-profit organization, faced significant challenges in establishing traceability for its Project Bhumi tur (pigeon pea) value chain. Operating in remote, smallholder-dominated regions with poor connectivity, the project struggled with manual record-keeping, limited farm-level visibility, and an inability to link produce to specific farmers or plots, hindering its sustainability and ethical sourcing goals. To address this, they partnered with TraceX to implement its Food Traceability Solution.

TraceX implemented a comprehensive digital solution featuring offline data capture for remote areas, GPS mapping of farmer plots, and crop activity tracking. This enabled batch-level traceability from the farm through procurement and inventory management using QR codes. The results provided TechnoServe with end-to-end visibility, improved data integrity, and verifiable proof of ethical sourcing. The solution also enhanced operational resilience in low-connectity areas and improved the inclusion of women farmers, creating a scalable digital foundation for the value chain.
