By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, SEPT 02, 2017: Hortinet is an integrated traceability system developed by APEDA for providing Internet based electronic services to the stakeholders for facilitating farm registration, testing and certification of Grape, Pomegranate and Vegetables for export from India to the European Union in compliance with standards. To harness the potential of mobile technology, APEDA has developed a mobile app to allow farmers to apply on-line to facilitate their farm registration, tracking the status of application & approvals by State Government and Lab sampling by authorized Laboratories. This mobile app initiative is expected to increase the accessibility and reach of the Traceability software system among the farmers and other stakeholders.

This new Mobile app will also assist State Horticulture/Agriculture Department to capture real time details of farmers, farm location, products and details of inspections like date of inspection, name of inspecting directly from field. After registration and approval of farm, farmer gets approval information.

The key features of the app are:

· Online Farm registration application and status tracking

· Processing and approval on on-line farmer applications by State Horticulture / Agriculture department.

· Registration of farmers, farms and products by State Horticulture / Agriculture department

· Capture geo location of the farms registered through the app

· Sample collection by APEDA authorized Laboratories along with geo location of the sample.

Dr Tarun Bajaj, GM APEDA initiated the proceedings  by outlining the new mobile app concept and its evolution . Chairman, APEDA, Shri DK Singh  welcomed the dignitaries and then addressed the gathering . He mentioned the various initiatives taken by APEDAin the past like introduction of TraceNet for organics, AnarNet , GrapeNet  traceability softwares . He cited the importance of the new mobile App Farmer Connect which is a giant leap in connecting the farmers through mobile network for registration procedure  at his comfort from any location.  He also mentioned that through this App not only the process of farmer and farm registration will be convenience but laboratory testing of product samples will also be easier. The three dots in the App logo signify the farmers,  state government and the laboratory which is the essence of this Farmer Connect App. He also mentioned that this app is being launched in Hindi and Marathi apart from English so that it becomes user friendly.

Commerce Secretary , Government of India, Ms Rita Teaotia launched the app. The occasion was followed by display of a film depicting  all the facets of the utility of the new app.
