Export Quality and Infrastructure Gaps (Spices & High Value Crops)

Problem Statement

High-value crops, especially spices, struggle to meet stringent international residue standards and lack the necessary pre-shipment infrastructure (sorting, grading, fumigation) required for reliable export.

Innovation Opportunities

• Export Protocol Compliance and Traceability: Digital systems that enforce and document compliance with key export standards (MRLs, GAP) at the farm and processing level.
• Cold-Chain Container Logistics Optimisation: Solutions for efficiently managing and booking temperature/humidity-controlled containers for export, integrated with port logistics.
