VUKA90 aims to bring efficency into the sector by infusing 3 main components:

Shared Ecosystem: Easily identify process inefficiencies, eliminate bottlenecks and optimize your supply chain for continuous growth.

Forecasting: All food system participants can now know the provenance, real-time location and status of their food products. Armed with better data, companies can develop more accurate supply and demand forecasting models, localize the sourcing of ingredients and restructure contracts.

Scalability: Automated processes and end-to-end synchronization can create efficiencies at every step.

The Challenges: Most companies are bogged down in manual paper-based processes that make it difficult and time-consuming to identify issues and manage inventory. Slow adoption of digital supply chain tools keeps companies in the dark and does not allow them to adopt digital tools that could enable better supply and demand matching and identify waste hot spots. Lastly, poor coordination across the food chain network creates waste that total USD 150 billion annually.

The Solution: VUKA90 creates a secure, shared and permissioned record of transactions. This enables unprecedented visibility during each step of the food supply chain, so you can achieve new levels of trust and transparency, making food safer and smarter from farm to fork.

A shared digital food supply chain powered by blockchain helps supply chain players better collaborate with each other to operate more efficiently and adapt to change. This is the key advantage that VUKA90 will bring to the Essential Commodities trading in Africa.

VUKA90 aims to reduce wastage into the sector by infusing 3 main components:

End-to-end traceability: A digital food supply network powered by blockchain enables full transparency across the food chain to maximize shelf life, optimize partner networks and increase recall response efficiency, helping reduce waste.

Collaboration: Selective data sharing enables all in the food system to adopt consistent standards, policies and procedures.

Full transparency: With greater visibility into food waste, food producers, distributors and retailers can help identify opportunities to reduce food waste along the supply chain.

The Challenges: Even with companies and countries on board, reducing food waste remains complex, requiring efforts across the supply chain, from farmers and distributors to retailers and consumers. Even though studies suggest widespread adoption of digital supply chain tools could reduce food loss and waste by up to USD 120 billion annually, companies have been slow to adopt digital tools that could enable visibility into the food chain and identify waste hot spots.

The Solution: Leveraging blockchain and IoT technology, the Insights capabilities module VUKA90 can provide unprecedented supply chain visibility to help identify when and where food waste happens.

The Trace module provides our Value Chain with a way to securely and transparently trace the location and status of food products on the supply chain to better manage — and reduce — food waste.

With the our documents module, our Stakeholders can prove food provenance and authenticity by securely managing certificates and documents along the supply chain. Having access to such documents and data helps to eliminate inefficiencies in our network that could lead to food waste.

VUKA90 aims to bring brand trust into the sector by infusing 3 main components:

Sustainably Conscious: Top-to-bottom visibility into the food chain enables brands to quickly and proactively manage damaged products without disrupting the entire supply chain.

Beyond Compliance: When consumers and supply chain partners know that brands are transparent about the quality and origin of their foods, it builds brand equity and trust, creating differentiation.

Food Quality and Safety: By tracking each step of the food supply chain and sharing data on an immutable ledger, participants can ensure the promised quality of goods is indisputable.

The Challenges: Driven by recent sustainability awareness efforts, consumer attention to the matter is growing. Recently, 78% of people surveyed were willing to change food consumption habits to reduce their environmental impact. The bar is rising for both safety and quality with 20% of shoppers actually switching brands after a negative product encounters. Consumers, along with other key players in the food system, want more details and visibility about the food they consume in order to make informed decisions.

By tracking each step of the food supply chain and sharing data on an immutable ledger, our value chain can ensure the promised quality of goods is indisputable.

Providing Jobs: The youth in Africa have been excluded from the job market. VUKA90 will use their energy and innovative ideas to become our facilitators on the ground.

Better Nutrition: The lack of access to healthy and nutritious food is the reason Africa struggles with food security. Barriers such as cost and locale, caused by the lack of agricultural access and education. VUKA90 will work to elevate education.

Encourage Community Involvement: Taking production further, the cooperative opportunities created by these communities motivates residents to socialize more with each other while engaging with the land.

Quick and Easy Withdrawals: Funds will be transfered to your VUKA90 card. Guarantee of all payments thanks to protection on the blockchain technology. Payouts done automatically from the system.

Anonymity of use All participants are completely anonymous. Your KYC details and transaction details will always remain strictly confidential.

VUKA90 is designed to stimulate inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in poor rural communities by improving access to productive infrastructure and services that are expected to lead to sustainable agricultural production and equitable returns.

Development in agriculture and efficient growing of essential commodities can be a powerful force for change when it includes and empowers poor rural women and men where 85% ar primarily involved in agriculture. Economic growth on its own does not change lives – but investing in the resilience and market participation of small-scale producers can make a lasting difference. Our clarion call remains: Together we are Stronger!
