How it works
Farmers are registered in their respective factories as tea farmers.
Farmer is then securely issued with a personalized NFC card.
Farmer can now use their card to securely deliver the tea leaves and get a physical receipt and an SMS confirmation.
The smart card provides growers with a secure way of storing data, it contains the name of the farmer, the grower’s number, and the center where one delivers their produce.
After every tea leaves are weighed and confirmed by the clerk, each farmer gets a printed receipt and SMS confirmation, indicating the weight and invoice value of the tea delivered.
Upon arrival at the farm, the clerk inspects to check the quality before connecting it to the factory’s electronic weighing system. All farmers thereafter produce their cards which are connected to the weighing scale to capture and store data before it is issued back to the farmer through a printed receipt.
