🌱 From seed to table

For major food brands, it can be tough to get in touch with the producers who cultivate agricultural products. 

If you want to track anything–whether it’s your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, plots, or crop transactions–that’s just hard to do!

• Enter KoltiTrace. It’s an app that lets you see everything you need to know about your supply chain. 
• Check your GHG emissions, trace transactions between farmers and collectors, view your farmer’s profile, and more. 

It’s all in the app. Access key data using their IoT equipment like digital scales, portable soil analysis tools, and solar-powered weather stations.

• Koltiva can tailor their services and solutions for 48 crops and commodities!
