Question

What is the primary purpose of SATHI?

• A. To manage agricultural exports
• B. To provide a digital ecosystem for the entire seed life cycle
• C. To facilitate direct farmer-to-consumer sales
• D. To regulate pesticide usage

Answer 1

Answer:

B. To provide a digital ecosystem for the entire seed life cycle

The primary purpose of SATHI is to ensure the quality and authenticity of seeds supplied to farmers across the entire agricultural value chain.

SATHI (Seed Authentication, Traceability, and Holistic Inventory) is a centralized digital ecosystem that automates the entire seed life cycle, from production and certification to distribution and sale. By mandating the use of QR codes on seed packets, its main objective is to provide end-to-end traceability to prevent the circulation of spurious (fake) or substandard seeds, thereby guaranteeing that farmers receive high-quality planting material.
