Training Time: 2–3 hours
Audience: Agarwood farmers, farm workers
No technical background needed
1. Why This Is Important for Farmers
Many agarwood farmers lose money because:
- Buyers do not trust where the wood came from
- Illegal traders mix fake or low-grade wood
- No proof of farm origin, age, or legality
Digital traceability helps prove:
- This tree is yours
- This agarwood is legal
- This quality is real
This means better price, safer selling, and legal protection.
2. What Is Digital Traceability?
Digital traceability is like a digital notebook for your trees.
Each agarwood tree has:
- A number or QR code
- A record showing:
- Tree age
- Species
- Inoculation date
- Harvest date
You can scan it using a mobile phone.
3. What Is Blockchain?
Think of blockchain as:
A notebook that cannot be erased or changed
Once information is written:
- No one can cheat
- No one can change harvest dates
- No fake agarwood can be added later
✔ Protects farmers from dishonest traders
✔ Builds trust with exporters and buyers
4. How It Works (Tree to Buyer)
Step 1: Tree Registration
- Each tree is tagged (QR / ID)
- Location and owner recorded
Step 2: Tree Care & Inoculation
- Date of inoculation recorded
- Type of inoculation noted
Step 3: Harvest
- Harvest date recorded
- Tree ID linked to wood batch
Step 4: Selling
- Buyer scans QR code
- Buyer sees proof of:
- Farm origin
- Legal harvest
- Quality history
5. What Farmers Need to Do
Very simple:
- ✔ Register your trees
- ✔ Keep basic farm records
- ✔ Do not mix unregistered wood
- ✔ Sell through traceable channels (co-op / partner)
💡 You do NOT need to understand computers or blockchain.
6. Benefits to Farmers
| Benefit | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Higher price | Buyers pay more for verified wood |
| Legal safety | Proof against confiscation |
| Trust | Buyers return |
| Market access | Export-ready agarwood |
| Cooperative strength | Group selling power |
7. Who Helps Manage the System?
- Company Staff
- Farm technicians
- Partner company / institution
Farmers focus on growing trees, not computers.
8. Real Example (Simple Story)
Two farmers sell agarwood:
❌ Without traceability:
Buyer doubts origin → low price
✅ With traceability:
Buyer scans QR → sees farm, age, harvest → higher price
9. Key Message for Farmers
“If your tree has no record, your agarwood has no power.”
Traceability turns your agarwood into:
- Trusted wood
- Export-ready
- Premium-grade
