Cocoa, coffee farmers work with IBM, Heifer International to improve traceability
Access to IBM blockchain, AI platforms support farm-level decisions, increase transaction speed.
Smallholder cocoa and coffee farmers and their cooperatives in Honduras are accessing new markets and making better business decisions through IBM Food Trust and IBM Watson Decision Platform for Agriculture, working with Heifer International and IBM.
Providing transparency along the supply chain through Food Trust, built on IBM Blockchain technology, will help give coffee buyers who purchase from the COPRANIL cooperative in Honduras and Chocolate Halba, which buys cocoa from farmers in Heifer Honduras' Chocolate4All project, a better understanding of their product supply chains, and enable farmers to secure higher prices.
