Coffee Weighing – From Farm Gate to Export
IP68 waterproof scales, GPS tagging, automatic payment calculation, and full EUDR compliance. Every cherry recorded, every farmer paid fairly.
💰 Why This Matters Financially
Eliminate ETB 150,000‑400,000/year in payment disputes. Recover 3‑5% post‑harvest shrinkage. Avoid EUDR shipment rejection (ETB 5‑10 million penalty). Cut intake time from 4‑6 minutes to 90 seconds.
The Challenge
Cooperatives rely on manual logs and subjective grading. Farmers dispute payments because no verifiable record exists. EUDR now requires geolocation proof of origin — paper cannot comply.
How We Solve It
Our system GPS‑tags every intake, captures weight automatically, and calculates payment based on moisture and grade. An SMS receipt goes to the farmer instantly, and the data is locked in a tamper‑proof ledger ready for EUDR audits.
