YomTrace

Know where your produce comes from.

YomTrace is our traceability initiative. It is being developed to help record where agricultural produce comes from and how it moves through the supply chain.

Our goal is to make sourcing information easier to record, access and share with buyers.

USAID

YomTrace was built with support from USAID.

What YomTrace does today, and what is coming

In use today

Registering farmers, pickers and buyers. More than 10,000 are registered.
Recording collections at our centres: who sold, which community and the weight.

Being developed

Storage and dispatch records for each lot.
Buyer access to the history of their lots.
Links to YomYom Go transport bookings and our partner warehouses.

We will update this page as each feature goes live. Lot records are shared with buyers on request. YomTrace runs at yomtrace.com.
