Challenges

• Lack of Digital Tracking: Farmers and cane supply were recorded manually, leading to inaccuracies.
• Unclear Supply Chain Visibility: Difficulty in tracking sugarcane acreage, variety, and growth stages.
• Variety Development Issues: Farmers received disease-resistant seeds, but no system tracked their planting.
• Cumbersome Field Visits: Time-consuming and inefficient on-ground validation processes for yield tracking.
• Limited Data-Backed Decision-Making: Production planning was based on assumptions rather than real-time crop data.

Solution

Farmdar implemented CropScan for remote sensing and Al-driven crop monitoring, identifying sugarcane acreage, varieties, and harvest progress. AgriChain's eSurvey was used to digitize 4,857 farmers, assigning each a unique ID for precise tracking of fields, cane variety, and supply chain contribution.

Additionally, Variety Detection helped identify low-yield and pest-prone crops like NSG-59, enabling targeted intervention. Harvest Monitoring provided real-time insights into crop readiness, allowing the mill to plan procurement and processing efficiently.
