Powering Africa’s Cassava Economy Through Technology

We are building an integrated digital ecosystem transforming cassava farming, processing, trade, and export.Through integrated IoT storage and decentralized infrastructure, we make agricultural trade reliable, transparent, and significantly more profitable for Africa.

Our Integrated Ecosystem

A closed-loop system designed to stabilize supply, verify quality, and eliminate post-harvest losses.

YucaChain

Digital Platform – Web & Mobile

YucaVault

Preservation Infrastructure

YucaHub

Aggregation / Processing Support

How YucaChain Interconnects

The application is not standalone. It acts as the neural network for your physical assets, providing real-time synchronization between the farm, the vault, and the hub.

  • Track cassava into YucaVault
  • Monitor storage duration
  • Show condition updates
  • Trigger pickup notifications
  • Log buyer transactions
  • Record traceability history

Architectural Requirements

To support this vast ecosystem, our data architecture strictly enforces:

Asset Tracking
Batch ID System
Timestamp Logs
Status Updates
Multi-role Permissions

The Asset Lifecycle

Total traceability from emergence to closure.

Created
Harvested
Assigned to Vault
Stored
Reserved
Sold
Picked Up
Closed
