In Africa, our farmers produce over 65% of the world’s uncultivated arable land’s food potential, contributing staples and high-value crops like cocoa, coffee, cashew, sesame, and fruits that feed millions globally. The continent also supplies 70% of the world’s cocoa and is a leading producer of superfoods such as moringa and hibiscus.
Yet, despite this abundance, too often our work is undervalued, our produce underpriced in global markets, and our markets underdeveloped, not because of quality, but because of trust gaps, traceability challenges, and regulatory bottlenecks.
Here’s the reality:
1. Buyers and consumers are increasingly health-conscious and want proof of origin, safety, and quality before purchasing.
2. Exporters face strict international compliance and traceability requirements, from EU Green Deal rules to US FDA food safety mandates.
3. Farmers lose income to post-harvest losses, market rejections, and food fraud, costing Africa over $48 billion annually.
4. Regulators need real-time data to improve food safety oversight, enforce standards, and reduce counterfeit products in the market.
AgTrail changes that.
Using simple QR codes and data-driven tracking, AgTrail captures every step of a product’s journey from the seed in the soil to the product on the shelf or in containers, to the meal on your plate. Whether you’re in Lagos, Nairobi, Rome, or San Francisco, you can scan and instantly see:
Where the food came from
Its nutritional content and value
How it was produced and handled
Who made it possible, and its environmental footprint
You can even ask AgTrail questions (based on your health and purchase history) to know if it’s the right fit for you before buying.
Why this benefits Africa’s entire agricultural landscape:
1. Farmers gain trust & better prices: Verified data means stronger bargaining power and access to premium markets.
2. Exporters unlock global opportunities: Compliance with EU, US, and other market requirements becomes seamless.
3. Regulators improve oversight: Instant access to transparent, tamper-proof supply chain data boosts food safety enforcement.
4. Consumers eat safer food: Transparency reduces fraud, contamination, and misinformation.
5. Post-harvest loss drops: Faster, smarter supply chain management reduces waste and maximizes farmer earnings.
Africa’s agricultural story is rich, diverse, and worth telling, and AgTrail ensures it’s told truthfully, transparently, and profitably.
The question now is: When the world scans your product, will they see the full story?
With AgTrail, the answer is yes
