Banking, provenance, and yield — on one field-to-fork model.
Close the $170B smallholder credit gap, cut post-harvest loss, and ship EUDR-compliant provenance from a single governed twin of every plot, batch, and contract.
The high cost of fragmentation
Current systems in this sector suffer from deep-rooted structural inefficiencies that PrimusNeo is built to resolve.
Smallholder Fragmentation
Smallholders produce ~35% of food yet remain outside formal finance, certification, and digital markets, leaving a $170B annual credit gap.
Post-Harvest Loss
13.2% of food is lost between farm and retail, and an additional 19% wasted downstream — together driving 8-10% of global GHG.
Provenance & ESG Trust Gap
Buyers, regulators (EUDR, CSRD) and consumers cannot verify deforestation-free, fair-labor, or carbon claims across fragmented supply layers.
Why PrimusNeo for this sector
Field-to-Fork Twin
Bankable Smallholder Identity
Verifiable Provenance
Platform layers tailored for you
AMP Spatial OS
Plot-level digital twins fusing satellite, sensor, and equipment telemetry — replacing scattered GIS, FMS, and clipboard records.
NEOS Governance
Programmatic co-op payouts, input pre-financing, and offtake contracts that release on verified twin events (planting, harvest, delivery).
AZOA Identity
Persistent farmer / plot / batch identity that travels with the produce through aggregator, processor, exporter, and retailer.
Fractal Engine
Yield forecasting, climate risk, GPP (gross primary productivity) and supply-chain emissions modeling for buyers and insurers.
“Agriculture’s productivity ceiling isn’t agronomic — it’s coordination. The smallholders feeding a third of the planet are the world’s largest unbanked, unverified production network. Whoever gives them identity wins the next farm bill.”

EUDR-Compliant Origin Network
A coffee or cocoa exporter onboards 50,000 smallholders onto PrimusNeo. Each plot is mapped, each harvest signed, each shipment carries a verifiable deforestation-free passport — unlocking EU market access and ~$170B of latent smallholder finance.
Key Outcomes
- →Plot-level EUDR / CSRD compliance, audit-ready
- →Smallholder credit history bankable by lenders
- →13.2% post-harvest loss attacked with cold-chain twin
- →Premium pricing for verified provenance batches
