Buyer Verification of On-Chain Data in Agarwood Supply Chains
From Plantation to Purchase – Transparency You Can Trust
1. What On-Chain Data Means
- “On-chain” refers to information stored on a blockchain, which is immutable, time-stamped, and tamper-proof.
- In agarwood supply chains, this includes:
- Tree UTIDs and seed source
- Inoculation records (BarIno System)
- Harvest events and batch creation
- Chip grading, resin classification, and oil distillation
- Packaging, labeling, and export documentation
Key Feature: Once recorded, on-chain data cannot be altered or deleted, ensuring buyers access verified, trustworthy information.
2. Buyer Verification Methods
| Method | How It Works | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| QR Code Scan | Buyer scans QR code on package or batch label → instantly retrieves linked on-chain record | Quick, accessible verification of tree origin, batch, and quality |
| Blockchain Ledger Access | Buyer logs into blockchain platform → searches by Batch ID, UTID, or shipment ID | Full audit trail: planting → inoculation → harvest → processing → packaging |
| Digital Certificate / Proof-of-Origin | System generates a PDF or digital certificate signed by blockchain | Easy to share, official, and tamper-proof |
| Mobile App Verification | Buyer uses a traceability app → scans batch/tree QR or enters ID → sees history, grades, and legal compliance | Intuitive, mobile-friendly, supports multiple batches |
3. What Buyers Can Verify On-Chain
- Origin & Seed Source: Confirms species, nursery, and plantation
- Tree & Batch Integrity: UTIDs linked to harvest events and batch IDs
- Inoculation & Resin Development: Type, date, operator, and method
- Quality & Grading: Chip grade, resin classification, oil batch parameters
- Compliance & Legal Status: CITES, DENR, CNC, ECC permits, and export-ready documentation
- Chain of Custody: Every transfer, storage, and processing event, with timestamps
4. Sample Buyer Verification Workflow
- Buyer scans QR code on batch
- Mobile app or platform opens on-chain record
- Buyer sees:
- Tree IDs, batch ID, and GPS plot location
- Inoculation history (BarIno System)
- Chip grading, resin classification, oil distillation
- Packaging & legal compliance data
- Buyer confirms all data matches quality, quantity, and origin
- Buyer approves purchase, confident in traceability and premium authenticity
Visual Concept:
Package QR → Scan → On-chain Record → Tree/Bath Verification → Inoculation → Harvest → Grade → Packaging → Compliance → Buyer Confidence
5. Farmer Tips for Buyer Verification
- Ensure all tree, batch, and processing records are on-chain before sale
- Print or attach QR codes clearly on packages
- Use mobile-friendly apps for buyer access
- Consolidate batch certificates and legal documents digitally linked to blockchain
- Maintain operator verification logs for audit purposes
6. Benefits of On-Chain Verification for Buyers
- Confidence in product authenticity and traceable origin
- Proof of compliance with CITES and local regulations
- Premium pricing justified by verifiable quality and provenance
- Fraud prevention: prevents substitution or mislabeling
- Audit-ready: every step can be independently verified
Key Message
“Buyers can verify every tree, batch, and harvest on-chain in real time. QR codes, blockchain records, and digital certificates guarantee traceability, authenticity, and premium value from seedling to final product.”
