A consequence of it is years and years of low-quality yield, moisture losses &amp; unfair pricing for various stakeholders. With the input of new-age technology, agribusiness &amp; stakeholders such as farmers can now not only find better market linkages for selling their produce but also get quality-based fair price determination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, look at the supply chain of turmeric in the traditional post-harvest system. The quality of turmeric is defined by its curcumin content that was previously assessed either manually on the field or in third-party labs that takes hours altogether per sample. This leads to unfair price determination &amp; losses due to delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A better alternative to this conventional system lies in frontier technologies, specifically, the tech-trifecta of AI, IoT &amp; ML that is capable of doing away with such subjectivity and delays, increasing trade efficiency &amp; reducing post-farming distress for all stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last 5 years, AgNext has brought in significant deep-tech-led technological interventions in the post-harvest supply chain. These have significantly boosted efficiency and profitability for all involved stakeholders. With AI-driven computerized sensors, businesses can now cut down the quality assessment time of commodities from a stretch of hours to a matter of seconds, thus making the process simpler, faster &amp; more standardized. Furthermore, the solutions enable complete transparency of commodity-specific value chains, providing end-to-end traceability &amp; building trust across the food supply line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2829 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/agnext.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Reducing-post-harvest-distress-for-agriculture-stakeholders-blog-images-2-copy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.agnext.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Reducing-post-harvest-distress-for-agriculture-stakeholders-blog-images-2-copy.png 1200w, https:\/\/test.agnext.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Reducing-post-harvest-distress-for-agriculture-stakeholders-blog-images-2-copy-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/test.agnext.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Reducing-post-harvest-distress-for-agriculture-stakeholders-blog-images-2-copy-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/test.agnext.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Reducing-post-harvest-distress-for-agriculture-stakeholders-blog-images-2-copy-768x402.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full-stack rapid quality management platform Qualix has been creating value for agribusinesses via:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Data-driven trade <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with real-time untampered visibility\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digital transparency <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with on-the-spot quality assessment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>On-ground traceability <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with 24\/7 user access<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Better market linkages<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for enhanced exposure\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quality-based fair-value transaction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for value-driven trade<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With digital data handling, AgNext enables stakeholders to map the quality of a commodity down to its origin, ensure fair-value trade, build consumer trust and increase brand credibility in the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application of new-age innovative technologies can not only solve challenges that arise owing to traditional practices in agriculture but also give rise to a plethora of opportunities across the sector.
