MNC buyers prize traceable botanicals: traceability lowers compliance risk, guards against adulteration, and protects brand reputation.
Market snapshot & trend: Global demand for verified botanical supply chains is rising as brands face stricter audits and consumer scrutiny. Blockchain and digital traceability pilots (like HerBChain-style platforms) are being adopted to create immutable records from plantation to product. Investing in traceability increases buyer confidence and supports premium pricing. PMC
What buyers care about: provenance records, GPS-tagged sourcing, farmer contracts, transport logs, and accessible COAs. Regulatory audits often ask for documentation going back multiple steps in the chain.
How you can show credibility (actionable): publish downloadable supply-chain maps, share anonymized COAs for sample batches, show farmer sourcing agreements and photos of farms/collection centers, and offer live batch trace links for enterprise clients. Implement QR-enabled batch traceability for finished raws — buyers can scan and see origin + test results.
