Buyer & Consumer Authentication

Turning Traceability into Confidence at Every Scan

The final step of Crown AgriTrace™ ensures that every product’s journey — from farm to processing to export — is instantly verifiable by buyers, distributors, and consumers. This is where transparency meets trust in the market.

🔎 What Is Buyer & Consumer Authentication?

When a product’s QR code is scanned:

  • The system retrieves its Product ID and linked records.
  • Blockchain hashes and batch data are verified.
  • Certification and compliance status are displayed.

This confirms that the product is authentic, traceable, and compliant.

📲 How It Works

1️⃣ QR Scan

  • Consumer, buyer, or customs agent scans the QR code.
  • System identifies the associated Lot or Product ID.

2️⃣ Verification Engine

  • Checks the blockchain hash of critical events:
    • Plantation registration
    • Field interventions
    • Harvest batch creation
    • Processing & extraction
    • Certification issuance
  • Confirms that the digital record matches the physical product.

3️⃣ Display of Verified Information

The dashboard presents:

  • Origin Map: Exact farm or plantation location
  • Harvest & Processing Data: Dates, batch info, quality metrics
  • Certifications & Compliance: Organic, sustainability, export-ready status
  • Authenticity Badge: Green “Verified” mark for confidence

Sensitive internal business data (cost, internal notes) is never exposed.

🔐 Security Features

  • One-time token verification
  • Tamper-proof digital signature
  • Alerts for duplicate scans or suspicious activity
  • Optional geolocation verification for buyer or market tracking
