A crop cycle with Weia, step by step
Before planting
The company and the farmer agree on a forward contract: quantity, price, delivery date and quality of the harvest.
Tokenization
The contract is recorded as a token on the XRP Ledger, a public record that cannot be altered. The token is the digital representation of its economic right. See an example token.
Week 1
The inputs arrive at the farm, financed in kind: seed, fertilizer and crop protection. The farmer never handles cash.
Monitoring, from planting to harvest
The farmer plants on time. Weia follows the plot with satellite images that show the change in vegetation cover, along with the local weather. On WhatsApp, the farmer gets what those images show, and AI assistance throughout the cycle.
Month 6, harvest
The harvest reaches the buyer in the agreed quantity and quality, on the agreed date, and is invoiced.
Payment
The company pays the invoice. Weia is paid the value of the inputs first, and the balance goes to the farmer.
Close
With the payment, the token is burned, and the farmer is already approved for the next harvest.
One contract. Supply, financing and control.
The company secures its supply. The farmer finances their inputs and gets AI assistance throughout the cycle. The funder gets visibility and control over every contract.
Formalize
Before planting, the company and the farmer sign a forward contract electronically: they agree on the quantity, price, delivery date and quality of the harvest.
Finance
With that agreement, Weia finances the inputs in kind: seed, fertilizer and crop protection. The farmer never handles cash and pays with the harvest, through the buyer. This is the Farm Now, Pay Later model (FNPL).
Control
Satellite monitoring of the plot, AI assistance on WhatsApp for the farmer, and every contract tokenized, with control over each stage from signing to payment.
For your company, financing your suppliers is settled within the same harvest payment: you pay as always, in a single payment.
Every contract, recorded and tokenized
Financing and procurement infrastructure for agricultural supply chains in Latin America.
We built the record on the XRP Ledger. The full cycle of every contract, from signing to close, is recorded and tokenized.
Every forward contract we finance becomes a token: the digital representation of its economic right. The token is created when the contract is activated and burned when it is paid, and every milestone is recorded with a date and a verifiable fingerprint. See an example token (opens the XRP Ledger in a new tab)
The company and the farmer sign the forward contract electronically before planting. Every deal is kept in a digital file.
It sets how much of the inputs is financed, using the farmer’s information, their sales history with the buyer and the credit bureau check they authorize. Every decision is recorded.
The farmer joins on WhatsApp, with no app to download. That’s where the AI assistance arrives, based on the satellite images of their plot: alerts, recommendations and answers to the photos they send of the crop.
Satellite images of the plot with vegetation indices such as NDVI and NDWI, cross-checked with the local weather. When something falls outside what is expected, the alert reaches the team and the farmer on WhatsApp.
The company pays Weia for the harvest. Weia deducts the financed inputs and transfers the balance to the farmer.
