QualiTrace is an innovative AgriTech startup based in Accra, Ghana, dedicated to solving the challenge of counterfeit agricultural inputs and improving food safety. Founded in 2017 and incubated by the Kosmos Innovation Center, QualiTrace uses advanced track-and-trace technology to authenticate both farm inputs and outputs, ensuring supply chain transparency from the farm gate to the final consumer.

Core Solutions & Technologies We provide digital tools designed specifically to protect and empower smallholder farmers:

• Product Authentication (QualiCheck): A quick and cost-free SMS verification system. Farmers and buyers can scratch a smart tag on seeds or fertilizers to reveal an eight-digit code. By sending this code via SMS, they can instantly verify the authenticity and quality of the product, preventing fraud and protecting their investments.

• Disease & Pest Detection (QualiScan): A user-friendly, AI-powered mobile application that helps farmers identify crop diseases in real-time. By snapping a photo of the affected plant area, the app predicts the specific pest or disease and recommends the best quality agro-input for treatment.

• Supply Chain Traceability: We partner with verified agricultural companies to attach our smart tags to their products, creating a reliable marketplace for authentic farm products and ensuring food safety for the final consumer.

Our Impact By leveraging frontier technologies like mobile communication and Artificial Intelligence, QualiTrace transforms the agricultural landscape in Ghana. We improve farmer livelihoods by ensuring they use authentic inputs, reducing crop losses through early disease detection, and building a transparent, verifiable ecosystem for all players in the agricultural value chain.
