The Context
Gaza Organic Citrus Exporters is a citrus farm located in Xai-Xai, Gaza province, Mozambique. Organic citrus exporter secured 22% premium pricing from European buyers and cut transit spoilage by 40% with blockchain traceability.
The Challenge
An organic citrus exporter in Gaza province was losing premium pricing opportunities with European buyers because they couldn't prove organic compliance end-to-end. Without traceability, buyers offered standard market prices. Transit spoilage was running at 12%, and compliance audits took weeks.
The Implementation
MBC implemented QR-code based blockchain tracking that logs every harvest date, wash station processing, shipping container temperature, and port arrival. Each citrus crate carries a unique blockchain token that buyers can scan to verify organic compliance, farm origin, and cold chain integrity. The system integrates with M-Pesa for farmer payment upon delivery confirmation.
