“Right now, a digital revolution is
changing the way farming is done, but poor small farmers
aren’t benefiting from it” Bill Gates @IFAD GC Meeting 2012
![Page 6: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why the Initiative?
1. Communication challenges in smallholder farming
2. The bewildering state of ICT solutions for Ag
3. Limited use of ICTs in VC projects for food security

What Next?
• Continue adding new solutions through crowdsourcing
• Keep it dynamic, and alive
• Feedback from developers, implementers, users, etc.
• Do deeper case studies of selected solutions
• Update specific ICT solutions based on – Geographical location – Commodities – Business models, etc.

![Page 45: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
How does the ESE™ Platform Work?The ESE™ Platform is comprised of different modules that allow maximum configurability and flexibility.
![Page 46: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Architecture of the ESE™ Platform
![Page 47: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The ESE™ in AgricultureThe ESE™ solution tracks the flow of goods at the source; data collected on mobile devices can instantly feed into sophisticated, powerful flow-of-goods analytics that help your company to respond to the market instantly. Benefits include:
Real-time traceability for thousands ofpurchases at receiving stations.
Real-time analysis and monitoringof processes at production plants,
increasing quality of goods. Reduction of data error rates, data entry costs
and data analysis costs. Reduced time and cost to capture farm-level data for certification institutions. Improved worker efficiency with little additional training.
![Page 48: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
ESE Applications for AgricultureSourceTrace has developed specialized applications for agricultural companies throughout the world. Some track thousands of purchases daily at receiving stations; others gather information about harvesting, others collect and manage data for certification entities.
Examples include:
ESE™ Traceability Module Captures traceability data at the point of reception via mobile units
at farms, depots, warehouses or processing facilities, then uploads that information to the firms Servers.
ESE™ Agricultural Processing Module Automates the capture of valuable information on the various
light industrial processes of any agricultural commodity, saving considerable time and money.
ESE™ Certification Module Configured to the internal monitoring processes of agricultural
commodity firms, and covers major certifications. Includes digital documentation covering key areas of certification.
![Page 49: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
ESE™ Traceability ModuleThe ESE™ Platform provides agricultural companies with a solution that allows them to track in real time any given crop, from seed to harvest to delivery. This module enables companies:
To track thousands of purchases of any crop. To know the upcoming harvest volume; determine revenue beforehand. To manage harvests effectively. To conduct feasibility analyses more easily, enhancing decision-making. To receive timely and opportune information. To optimize land usage. To obtain real-time reports of crop purchases.
![Page 50: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
ESE™ Agricultural Industrial ModuleThrough this module, any company improves real-time monitoring and analysis of agro-industrial processes. By increasing the percentage of first-rate goods produced, the module actually increases the goods’ average price, while decreasing the cost of running the processing plant.
This module can: Improve monitoring of the goods being processed.Capture key values needed (e.g., cupping indicators) to support
commodities marketing and sales negotiation processes. Improve the efficiency of the processing plant.Correct any flaws in the processing of the goods.
![Page 51: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Examples of the ESE™ Traceability Module – Inventory
Management
The user has three menus of three stages of growth in which harvests have to be controlled
Each stage of growth has sub-menus in which data can be
entered.
![Page 52: ICTs Along the Agriculture Value Chain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55507418b4c905cc0f8b4ea2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
ESE™ Certification ModuleAgricultural companies that produce gourmet products (e.g., coffee, cacao) can simplify certifications processes using the ESE™ Certification Module. As data is collected in real-time, it is easily provided to the certification entities, providing substantial cost and time savings by automating detailed administrative tasks. This allows companies to:
Collect data faster and cheaper.Generate certification reports for certifiers/verifiers, who can access the
information online.Correct any flaw during the processing of the goods.Automate and streamline complex certification reporting, providing
additional savings.

ESE™ GPS Fleet-Tracking ModuleLarger companies deploy the GPS Fleet Tracking Module. It involves placing a mobile device on a piece of equipment – truck, tractor, harvester, grinder – to track routes on digital mapping systems such as Google Earth™. This allows companies to:
track their equipment and vehicles in real-time. enhance their operational efficiency since no vehicle is left without use. lower fuel and operational costs. reduce labor costs.
