Solutions for transparent, compliant supply chains
OpenGrains supports organizations across the supply chain with digital traceability, sourcing transparency, and compliance-ready insights — from farm to finished product.
Solutions to your supply chain problem
Read about what challenges suppliers are facing and how Opengrains can help solve that problem.
Verifiable proof
Global agricultural supply chains are under increasing pressure to demonstrate transparency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. However, most sourcing systems — especially those involving smallholder farmers — lack the tools required to provide verifiable proof.
Regulatory and Transparency Challenges
New regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Norwegian Transparency Act require companies to provide verifiable, geolocated, and tamper-proof sourcing data. Most existing supply chains rely on manual records and fragmented documentation, making compliance costly, slow, and often unreliable.
Environmental and Sustainability Risks
Deforestation linked to agricultural expansion remains difficult to monitor at scale. Without reliable land-use verification, buyers risk sourcing from high-risk or non-compliant areas. At the same time, farmers who cannot document compliance risk losing access to global markets.
A Growing Gap
The result is a widening gap between regulatory expectations and the capabilities of producers, cooperatives, and importers. This gap creates compliance risk for buyers, lost market opportunities for farmers, and barriers to sustainable trade. Today, many companies still rely on solutions that are:
- Manual and fragmented
- Expensive to audit and verify
- Difficult to scale across thousands of farms
- Unable to provide real-time compliance data
- Poorly adapted to smallholder supply chains
Open Grains
Open Grains is a satellite-enabled traceability platform designed for smallholder agricultural supply chains. The platform integrates Earth Observation data, farmer onboarding tools, and digital supply-chain workflows to deliver continuous, verifiable traceability from farm to market. By combining satellite verification with digital supply chain records, Open Grains provides a scalable and affordable way for companies to meet sustainability regulations while keeping smallholder farmers included in global trade.
Compliance platform
What the platform enables:
- Farm-level traceability with verified geolocation
- Digital chain-of-custody across the entire supply chain
- Real-time compliance reporting for regulatory requirements
- Satellite-based land-use monitoring
- Transparent sourcing data for buyers, regulators, and consumers
Open Grains helps companies move from manual compliance to automated, verifiable traceability.
EO-Verified Farm Mapping
Every farm in the supply chain is mapped and validated using satellite imagery. Earth Observation data from sources such as Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 enables verification of land use, helping ensure that sourcing does not originate from deforested or high-risk areas.
End-to-End Supply Chain Traceability
Open Grains digitises the full chain of custody — from farmers and cooperatives to exporters and buyers. Each transaction is recorded in the system, allowing companies to track the origin and movement of commodities throughout the supply chain.
Automated Compliance Reporting
The platform generates regulator-ready reports that support compliance with regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Companies can produce due-diligence documentation, risk assessments, and verification data instantly.
Smallholder-First Field Tools
Open Grains includes mobile tools designed for field conditions in emerging markets. The platform works offline and in low-connectivity environments, allowing cooperatives and field agents to onboard farmers and capture farm data easily.
EO-Backed Audits
Satellite verification complements traditional audits by providing continuous land-use monitoring. This significantly reduces the cost, time, and operational burden associated with on-site verification.
Open Grains Trust Mark
Products verified through the platform can carry the Open Grains Trust Mark, signalling that they meet verified sourcing and transparency standards. This creates a trusted bridge between farmers, buyers, regulators, and consumers.
