Use Rigo StudioCrop passports for EUDR & FSMA 204 · Lusaka, Zambia
Every harvest,
verified.
Buyers in the EU and US now need records before they can accept your crop. RigoTrace puts a QR code on the bag, a branded page in front of the buyer, and the compliance trail in your dashboard. Scan the code on this page to see a real one.
Market access, not just transparency
Two regulations now decide whether your crop can be sold abroad.
Traceability stopped being a goodwill exercise. For a growing list of crops, an importer in the EU or the US cannot legally accept your consignment without records you are expected to produce on demand. RigoTrace is built to hold exactly those records, per lot, from the day you plant.
EU Deforestation Regulation
EUDR · Regulation (EU) 2023/1115Applies to coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, cattle, rubber and timber entering the EU. Operators must hold plot-level geolocation for the land the commodity was grown on, plus a due-diligence statement proving it was not linked to deforestation.
What RigoTrace holds: field and plot identification per lot, chain of custody through aggregation, and an exportable record for your due-diligence filing.
US FDA Food Traceability Rule
FSMA Section 204Applies to foods on the FDA Food Traceability List, including many fresh fruits and vegetables. Anyone in the chain must keep Key Data Elements at each Critical Tracking Event and produce them to the FDA within 24 hours of a request.
What RigoTrace holds: harvest, packing, and shipping events with lot codes and dates, exportable as a sortable spreadsheet.
Compliance dates for both regimes have been amended more than once and differ by company size. Confirm the deadline that applies to you with your importer or the official register before you plan around it. Agririgo holds the records; it does not file on your behalf and is not a substitute for legal advice.

The problem
A nation that farms
without its own data.
Even after Zambia's record maize harvest, most of that grain still moves with no shared record tying a single bag to its field. Information that could guide response to the next shock stays scattered across PDFs, spreadsheets and filing cabinets. Farmers replant blind. Buyers verify nothing.
Agririgo exists so the next harvest can prove itself.
From the conversation on LinkedIn
What enterprise and AI leaders are saying
“The RigoTrace digital crop passport sounds like a significant step towards transparency in agriculture. How do you ensure data security with the QR codes?”
“Transforming data into trusted decisions is essential for improving agriculture's effectiveness. Agririgo seems to tackle this challenge directly.”
“It's striking that over 60% of Africa's workforce is tied to agriculture, highlighting the urgency for tech solutions like yours.”
“The RigoTrace Digital Crop Passport is a smart solution that should significantly enhance traceability for farmers.”
“It's frustrating how many brands overlook the importance of maintaining their QR code links. A dead website directly undermines customer trust.”
“Seeing QR codes unavailable shows a clear opportunity for innovation. RigoTrace can really address these gaps in product traceability.”
“Excited to have created my Agririgo account! It's great to see AI, QR codes, blockchain, and Digital Product Passports driving transparency in African agriculture. If you haven't already, sign up and explore the platform!”
“The issue with QR codes leading to dead links is a missed opportunity for brands. A living Digital Crop Passport could change that experience entirely.”
“A dead website after scanning a QR code directly undermines customer trust. RigoTrace's approach to creating a digital passport is an innovative way to enhance transparency.”
Built for how Africa actually speaks
Agririgo speaks your language.
Use the language button on the left edge of any page to browse Agririgo in French, Kiswahili, Arabic, Afrikaans, isiZulu, or the Zambian languages Ichibemba, Chitonga, chiShona and Silozi. Three of the languages we support, briefly:
Afrikaans
“Goeie dag”
Evolved from Dutch brought by 17th-century settlers; spoken widely in South Africa and Namibia; uses a Latin-based alphabet with strong Germanic vocabulary.
isiZulu
“Sawubona”
South Africa's most widely spoken home language; part of the Nguni group; known for its distinct click consonants and a rich oral storytelling tradition.
chiShona
“Mhoro”
A major Bantu language native to Zimbabwe with millions of speakers; distinct from Zulu, though both trace back to the broader Niger-Congo language family.
How people use Agririgo
Four tools, one loop
Satellite shows you where to look across a whole farm. A drone shows you what is wrong in that spot. Rigo AI names it, and your corrections teach a model that eventually flies on the aircraft. The Crop Passport records what actually happened, so a buyer can check it. Each part is useful alone. Together they compound.
Drone pilots
You can fly. Clients pay more for what the flight means.
- 1Draw the client's field on the mapArea, soil, rainfall and a survey plan with line spacing worked out
- 2Export the plan as KMLOpen it in DJI Pilot 2 and fly it, or check it in Google Earth first
- 3Bring the photos into Rigo StudioRigo AI names what it sees and you correct it
- 4Export the reportA client deliverable, not a folder of JPEGs
Stop selling flight hours. Sell an answer to the question the farmer actually asked, which is why one corner of the field is failing.
Plan a surveyFarmers and co-ops
You know something is wrong. You do not know where, or what it will cost.
- 1Draw your field onceYour soil type, pH, season rainfall and how far it is from normal
- 2Photograph the part that worries youWhat it is, how urgent, and what it needs from you
- 3Publish a Crop PassportA public record buyers can check by scanning a code
Every recommendation says how soon it matters, what you must find, and whether it costs money. Most fixes cost labour, not cash.
Start a passportExporters and buyers
Your EU buyer wants proof of origin, not assurances.
- 1Trace a lot through the passport chainPlot coordinates, harvest date, who handled it
- 2Export the EUDR packGeoJSON evidence with per-farmer attribution on pooled lots
- 3Check the verification tierWhether it is self-declared, counter-signed, or anchored into Bitcoin
Claims you can hand to an auditor, with the weak ones visibly marked as weak rather than quietly dressed up.

Read the APIWe do not mine your data. We process it against stated rules.
What we do
- · Apply predicates: stated, inspectable rules, to data you gave us on purpose
- · Enrich a boundary you drew using public open data, with the source shown on every value
- · Train only on corrections you explicitly ticked a box to donate
What we never do
- · Scrape, buy or sell behavioural data
- · Build profiles of you from how you use the product
- · Store your field boundaries or your photographs on our servers
Your work is yours. Download everything we hold at any time as a file you can open, and delete your account and its data whenever you want. Neither is buried, and neither requires you to email anyone.
Rigo Studio
One photograph. Real hectares. A record your buyer can check.
Rigo Studio reads the altitude your drone already wrote into the file, so a traced weed patch comes back as square metres and a count becomes plants per hectare. Rigo AI names what it sees, your corrections train a detector your aircraft can carry, and the finding follows the crop all the way to the QR code on the bag.
It runs on your device. Nothing uploads, nothing queues, and there is no flight to plan first.
Drone pilots and service providers
You can already fly. This is the part clients actually pay for.
- Real areas from one photo, using the altitude DJI writes into every JPEG
- Stand density per hectare without stitching an orthomosaic
- A client report instead of a folder of JPEGs
- Export a training set so your drone learns to spot it in flight
Agronomists and co-op officers
Evidence you can put in front of a member or a buyer.
- Trace regions to get hectares affected, not a vague impression
- Every finding carries the evidence that produced it, so you can disagree
- Findings and areas export as data, not a screenshot
Researchers and students
A labelling workstation that costs nothing and locks nothing in.
- COCO export with segmentation, readable by every training toolchain
- The vegetation index runs on your device, so no upload and no queue
- Publish to the community repository so others can build on it
Exporters and processors
Connect what you saw in the field to what you ship.
- Attach field evidence to the Crop Passport a buyer scans
- Per-farmer attribution survives into pooled lots
- Weak claims stay visibly weak rather than being dressed up
A different question
Survey platforms answer what does my whole farm look like, and that needs a planned flight, an hour of processing and a subscription. Studio answers what is wrong in front of me, how much of it there is, and can I prove it to my buyer. Different job, different tool.
| What you need | Enterprise platforms | Rigo Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Answer a question today | Plan a flight, fly a grid, wait for processing | Photograph it. Area comes from the altitude in the file |
| Help a farmer with no drone | The aircraft is the product | A phone photo is a valid input |
| Prove it to the buyer | Ends at a report for the grower | Crop Passport, QR on the bag, EUDR evidence pack |
| Work where you farm | Selected countries and regions | Built for the markets they left out |
| Keep what you label | Your annotations stay in their platform | COCO and DJI bundles you download and own |
| Put AI on your own aircraft | Their models, their cloud | Train a detector your DJI carries onboard |
What this is really for: the two hectares behind the house, the maize that came up thin on one side, the mangoes going soft in the crate before the buyer arrives. Walk out, photograph the part that worries you, and know before you spend money on it.
RigoTrace · the Crop Passport & Trust Platform
Every bag can tell its story.
A buyer scans a QR code and lands on a branded page: your company profile, crop and batch details, photos of the farm and farmer, certifications, quality test results, chain of custody, a trust label, and the human story behind the harvest.
- Company profile with logo and LinkedIn, on every passport
- Trust label: In Review, Verified, or Export Ready
- Bulk QR generation: unique unit serials for 1 to 5,000 bags per batch
- Quality tests, chain of custody, analysis-stamped canopy health
- Private dashboard: scan analytics, buyer types, fraud alerts, export readiness

Or open it here: agririgo.com/trace/ZM-COF-2526-DEMO ↗Built for distribution, not just farms
Every scan is a lead. Every passport is due diligence.
RigoTrace isn't only for consumers checking where their food came from. When a retailer, distributor or exporter scans a passport, they can leave their company name and contact details directly on the scan, no account required. Those voluntary submissions land in a dedicated “Business leads” panel on the farmer or cooperative's dashboard, next to a full breakdown of who is scanning, from where, and how often.
Company name and contact left voluntarily by retailers and distributors at scan time, ready to follow up on.
Country and city of every scan, so a producer can see exactly which markets a batch is reaching.
Every handoff from field to buyer, timestamped and attached to the passport, the record an importer's compliance team wants to see.
Our RigoShield heuristic flags a passport or printed unit scanned from two countries in a short window, a sign of a cloned label.
This is voluntary, self-declared information left by whoever scans the code, not a verified identity check. It is designed to give producers real distribution intelligence, not to replace formal KYC/AML compliance for regulated transactions.
Built for the network we actually have
A passport nobody can open is not a passport.
Most traceability platforms assume a smartphone, a data bundle and a good signal. Across much of Zambia and the region that assumption fails at exactly the moment it matters: at the collection point, in the field, at a roadside market. So the record has to be reachable in more than one way.
No app, ever
The QR opens in the phone's own camera and renders as an ordinary web page. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, and no account needed to read a passport.
Type the code instead
A damaged or unreadable label is not a dead end. The traceability code is printed in plain text underneath, and can be typed into verify.agririgo.com, a deliberately tiny page that loads on a weak connection.
USSD, for phones with no internet
The menu logic is written and running in production: enter a traceability code and it returns the crop, farm, season and trust status as plain text, no data bundle involved. Turning it into a dialable code requires a short code allocated through a Zambian mobile operator or aggregator, which we do not yet have.
We are publishing this as work in progress rather than as a feature you can use today. There is no number to dial yet.
Ten interface languages are live across the platform, including Bemba, Tonga, Nyanja, Lozi, Zulu and Shona, because the person holding the bag is not always reading English.
RigoContinuity
A website going down should never mean a QR code stops working.
A printed QR code can outlive any single web deployment. If agririgo.com is ever unreachable, because of a bad deploy, a hosting incident, or maintenance, the passports behind every printed label are still verifiable. RigoContinuity is a second, independent lookup service, deployed on its own infrastructure, under its own subdomain, that reads the same passport records directly and shows a reduced but trustworthy summary: crop, variety, farm, season and trust status.
- A separate deployment, on a separate project, so one broken build cannot take down both.
- No account, database driver, or server framework of its own, plain, static, and hard to break.
- Anyone can type the traceability code printed on the label to verify it, with or without a working QR scanner.

How it stays independent
The hypothesis we set out to prove
Can drone imagery detect drought stress before the eye can?
We tested it against the driest season in forty years. 982,765 hectares of maize lost, province by province, compared against our RGSI stress model. In Southern Province, yields fell to 0.06 tonnes per hectare, exactly where the model flagged risk earliest.
