Digitising supply chains works best when farm-level facts flow straight through to the delivery note. That’s why CargoLedger East Africa has integrated eProd Solutions’ farmer-management platform with its own paperless transport stack—and why that connector now turbo-charges the Dutch RESULD programme (Responsible Supply Chains & Logistics Due Diligence).
Where RESULD stands today
RESULD unites ports, universities and tech innovators—including venture-studio Docklab docklab.nl and data-sharing platform TLIP tlip.io—to green and digitise fresh-produce flows between Kenya, the Netherlands and the UK. CargoLedger BV is a formal consortium partner; eProd is not, but the data it generates is exactly what RESULD needs for real-time due-diligence use-cases.
What the connector adds
| From eProd Solutions | From CargoLedger | Combined impact |
|---|---|---|
| • Verified farmer profiles, GPS field maps & quality grades | • Digital eCMR, customs declarations, proof-of-delivery, a complete trip dossier, and real-time execution visibility | • One lot ID travels from field polygon to delivery note with no re-keying • Instant audit packs for EU Deforestation Regulation, GlobalG.A.P. & phytosanitary checks • Better risk scoring for supply-chain finance & cargo insurance |
Docklab’s venture building know-how and TLIP’s secure cross-border data pipelines make it easier to embed this connector across East African corridors—helping RESULD shift the region “from compliance to due diligence” and giving every actor, from farmer to freight forwarder, a stake in a faster, more transparent supply chain.
Why this matters for Kenyan agri- and horticulture
- End-to-end transparency – Every avocado, flower or macadamia nut exported under RESULD can now carry a continuous chain-of-custody record—from smallholder farm to retailer in the EU and UK.
- Lower paperwork burden – Removing duplicate CMRs, manual customs forms and couriered PODs saves up to 80 % of back-office time for growers, forwarders and importers.
- Actionable sustainability data – Carbon, social-compliance and quality indicators are captured once at the source and surface automatically in logistics milestones, turning “tick-box” compliance into live dashboards for buyers and regulators.
What’s next
The RESULD project is aiming for its first pilot in Q3 2025, linking avocado co-ops to EU buyers via the Port of Rotterdam gate. Future sprints will add use-cases for cut flowers (JKIA air-freight), tea and coffee as well as initiating similar projects in other African Countries . By proving that farm-gate data and digital transport documents as well as phytosanitary documents can travel the same digital highway, CargoLedger and eProd solutions aim to help RESULD shift East Africa’s agri-export sector “from compliance to due-diligence”—and give every actor, from farmer to freight forwarder, a stake in a more competitive, transparent supply chain.
