What if every grain could prove where it came from?

Proof of origin for exporters and brands selling Kalanamak rice. Every handoff from farm to buyer is recorded, and checked by a person.

A field of black-husked Kalanamak paddy near Pipraich, Gorakhpur
Example: a registered Kalanamak plot near Pipraich, Gorakhpur, outlined on a photo of the field.

Every plot starts a record.

Each step is added by the person who did it and checked before the rice moves on.

GI rice rarely loses its identity on the farm. It loses it after.

At collection centres and mills, Kalanamak can be mixed with cheaper rice and still sold under the GI name. Nothing after the farm gate proves otherwise.
