Converting Harvest into Traceable Commercial Units
After field data has been recorded throughout the cultivation cycle, the next step is to formally convert biological production into commercially traceable batches.
Batch Creation & Processing is where raw agricultural material becomes a verified production unit within Crown AgiTrace™.
🌳 Harvest Event Registration
At harvest, the system records:
- Harvest date & time
- Harvesting team or supervisor
- Plot / Tree IDs included
- Estimated and actual yield
- Initial grading classification
This creates a Harvest Batch ID — the first commercial identity of the material.
🧾 Batch Structuring
Material is grouped according to:
- Farm of origin
- Plot / block reference
- Harvest window
- Quality grade
Each batch receives:
- Unique Batch ID
- Linked Farm & Plot IDs
- Traceability chain reference
- Blockchain event hash
🏭 Processing Stage Logging
When the batch moves to a facility (e.g., drying, grading, distillation, extraction), the following are recorded:
Processing Facility Data
- Facility ID
- Operator
- Date of intake
Quality & Technical Parameters
- Moisture content
- Weight before & after processing
- Resin content (if applicable)
- Distillation temperature & duration
- Extraction yield percentage
Output Classification
- Chips grade (for agarwood or similar crops)
- Oil grade or purity level
- Finished product category
🔐 Chain of Custody Controls
- Ownership transfer events are logged
- Each movement creates a timestamped entry
- Processing outputs are linked back to original Harvest Batch ID
- Any batch blending requires digital documentation
The system ensures that no material can enter the supply chain without a verified origin link.
🔄 Lot Creation for Market
Before export or retail distribution:
- Batches are grouped into Lot IDs
- Shipment references are attached
- Compliance documents are linked
- QR codes are generated
Each lot remains digitally connected to:
Farm → Plot → Harvest → Processing → Certification → Shipment
📊 Why This Stage Is Critical
✔ Prevents substitution or undocumented blending
✔ Ensures processing transparency
✔ Supports export documentation
✔ Enables premium product positioning
✔ Protects brand integrity
🌍 Market Impact
When a buyer scans the final QR code, they can see:
- Exactly when it was harvested
- Where it was processed
- What yield and quality metrics were recorded
- Whether it matches certified documentation
Batch Creation & Processing transforms agricultural output into verified, trade-ready digital assets.
