Programs built on ValueChainOS

Here's what the platform looks like in practice — starting with a single out-grower scheme's onboarding, grading and offtake.

Featured case study · Ghana

FarmMate Out-grower Scheme

A nationwide vegetable out-grower program — "The Nation's Food Basket" — showing how ValueChainOS digitizes onboarding, produce grading and offtake pricing for a scheme operator working directly with growers.

What's digitized

  • Standardized onboarding

    A 10-point eligibility protocol — experience, land tenure, irrigation access, cost commitment, training participation — captured through the FDI Registry at intake instead of paper checklists.

  • Codified grading standards

    Grade A/B/C specifications for every crop (weight, size, color, defect tolerance) applied consistently by field agents and buyers at collection.

  • Zone- and season-based offtake pricing

    Pricing that shifts by harvest window (low/medium/high season) and geography (Southern/Middle/Northern belt) applied automatically at the point of sale.
