This partnership aims to address a critical gap in farm-to-fork supply chains by providing visibility at the farm level.
Founder and CEO of Singapore-based DiMuto, Gary Loh, told AgTechNavigator that the firm sees farm-to-fork as “a loop where data empowers decision-making, supports sustainability, and validates the work of farmers.”
“It means that every important action taken in the field, every quality decision at the packhouse, and every movement of produce through the supply chain is recorded, visible and verifiable. With DiMuto’s approach, the journey begins the moment a farmer logs cultivation activities through the Farm App, creating a digital identity for each farmer and plot of land. That data flows into a traceability layer powered by blockchain, so everything from fertiliser use to the exact harvest time can be trusted and shared with buyers.”
With the Farm App, the Singaporean firm aims to help buyers like Indonesia-based GGF move away from analogue record keeping which limits visibility at the farm level.
“Today, large buyers like GGF struggle with relying on pen-and-paper records, which makes it nearly impossible to confirm what is being planted, when it will be ready for harvest, and the expected volume and quality months in advance,” said Loh.
“Fundamentally, this optimisation ensures that what the farmer plants is what the market needs, which translates directly into reduced wastage, improved pricing certainty, and higher sell-through rates—creating a clear, quantifiable benefit that validates the farmer’s participation and strengthens the entire agricultural ecosystem, particularly benefiting smallholders in regions like Indonesia.
Benefits to smallholders
The Farm App bridges the gap for smallholders by recording cultivation, harvest, and crop health data.
It is integrated with DiMuto’s Trade Management Solution, it enables blockchain-backed traceability, AI-powered quality assessment, and operational insights from field to global markets.
The system also builds credit profiles for unbanked farmers, opening access to trade financing and financial services, while enhancing provenance, safety, and sustainability of produce.
“Our primary goal is to ensure the benefit and value flow directly back to the smallholder farmers. By meticulously recording their activities, we are creating a transparent network where every item planted and sold can be optimally tracked and verified. This optimised data is then shared across the network, replacing the unreliable, fragmented approach currently reliant on pen-and-paper systems,” said Loh.
Over the next 12 months, the focus will be on deploying the technology to the field.
“The goal is not just to introduce a new tool, but to digitize a network of farmers at scale and connect them into GGF’s existing supply chain so the data they create flows into trade and export processes,” said Loh.
Empowering Indonesia’s agriculture sector
Loh added that this partnership would “demonstrate what modern, data-driven agriculture looks like in Indonesia”.
“Indonesia has an incredibly rich agricultural base, but it faces challenges that are common across emerging markets. Smallholder farmers are at the core of production, yet their practices are often invisible to downstream markets, which limits market access, makes claims around sustainability difficult to verify and restricts access to financing.
It would also pave the way for financial inclusion, allowing smallholder farmers to build digital credit profiles as they engage in global trade.
Loh said: “Ultimately, the vision is to build an ecosystem where farmers are empowered and operations are transparent, establishing a data-powered model that clearly demonstrates quantifiable economic benefits for the smallholder farming community and the broader Indonesian agricultural economy.”
