Topic: [ANN-ICO-AIRDROP] HARA 🌐 Empowering Billions Through Data, One Byte At A Time. - page 36. (Read 35541 times)

Our new partners PUNDIX and Bluezelle will contribute a lot to our stakeholders and improve the HARA ecosystem even more    PUNDI X will bring financial inclusions to our unbanked farmers in very rural areas through HARA partnered kiosks and Bluzelle will give our data providers a decentralized and more secure storage for their data assets while also providing new income potential to our stakeholders. Our public sale will be in January 2019 

I see a lot has been going on lately, especially with the partnerships. I'm just waiting until the public sale.

Farmers are struggling with getting a good price for their yields. The price for their goods fluctuates enormously, and sometimes even a single hour could see the price drop from reasonable to outright bad.
With this, farmers can use HARA as a business management tool to help them gauge the prices that they are offering for their yields depending on the price that the people are offering. They could then make an informed decision on whether to sell to a distributor (buyer) or directly to the general market. If they decide to sell to the general market, it would eliminate the mark-up prices of the distributors thus, resulting in cheaper products and eliminating the farmer's reliance on distributors without paying their fees or "cut".

As a form of insurance, the farmers have a homegrown insurance system called the multi-crop system. This system is where the farmers plant multiple crops at the same time and just in case a certain crop's price fluctuates they would have some type of fallback. Chilies seem to be the most common secondary crop that farmers grow since spicy food is very common in  Indonesia. However, the farmers admitted that there is no real plan in going into what crops they plant.

HARA could assist the farmers by providing transparent market information. Proving this transparency could help stabilize prices on the market and give the farmer a better insight of what they’ll be earning. HARA also identified hydroponic farmers  that grow plants without the need for soil, instead they use an enriched mineral solution. There is a big difference between hydroponic farmers and regular farmers wherein the hydroponic farmers know exactly what nutrients are needed to optimize the growth of their plants, and thus calculate the estimate for their profits. On the other hand, the regular farmers mostly just guess.

The data collected in the HARA data exchange platform can be used to share knowledge and to educate farmers that will improve their bottom lines, therefore they can save money by not unnecessarily overusing farm input materials like fertilizer.

Yes, and with the data the farmers give, we are going to incentivize them with loyalty points that they can exchange with goods like their farming needs and daily necessities. Our ICO was already launched and we were sold out! Our public sale will be on January 2019. For more updates, you can join our Telegram community  

This project is very good, because its usefulness can help farmers to get better through reliable data exchange.
Are you serious that this project will launch ico?
I am really waiting for his arrival soon.

The HARA ecosystem needs farmer related data and metadata.

For the Farmer related data, we need their Farmer Data, Commodity Data, and Field Ownership Data

Their metadata's are
Farmer Data - Farmer's ID, Farmer's Profile, Profile Photo, Selfie with ID, Birthdate, Address

Commodity Data - Name

Field ownership Data - Farmer, Field, Ownership Status, Validity Status

We also acquire:

Cultivation Data, which are Farmer Input Data, Harvest Data, Planting Data, Disease Data, Pest Data.

Ecological Data, which are Disease Data, Pest Data, Soil Data,  Weather Data.

Location Specific Data, which are  Field Data, and Field Ownership Data.

What kind of data do u exactly need from farmers?

Small Holder Farmers, Agritech Companies,  IoT Companies can be data providers.

Smallholder farmers use the HARA platform with the expectation of receiving multiple benefits from the various value-added providers in the ecosystem. By being a part of HARA, they gain access to many benefits.

Businesses operating in the realm of agriculture, food, supply-chain and technology industries are rewarded in the HARA ecosystem for sharing their data sets on the exchange. The HARA suite
of applications includes a variety of apps for companies to upload data onto the HARA data exchange platform. To simplify the token acquisition process, we are providing an entity called a ‘Network Operator’, which maintains a reserve of HARA tokens. When data is transacted, these companies will receive proceeds in the form of tokens and can choose to convert them into local currency using a network operator.

Data providers have to use HARA Token to be listed on the exchange. A portion of those tokens is allocated to receive a basic rating and compensate for the work that goes into validating their
data. Data providers that get their data qualified by more qualifiers will receive higher ratings, which will increase credibility compared to other datasets listed on the HARA decentralized data exchange.

Is it the same with the Data providers?

HARA has 3 parameters to choose, and asses our Total Addressable Marketplace

1. We analyze the country's scope and the data in the Agricultural and Food sector. We check the country's total population, production value, total agriculture workers, total land area, and percentage of agricultural land area.

2. We check the country's Internet and Mobile penetration. Internet and mobile penetration are the most important factors to ensure the penetration of HARA platform. Our target countries should have a very high population and
should have a relatively high internet penetration rate.

3. We look at the country's financial services, and banking reach. The development of agriculture and the food sector requires financial services to support the bigger investment of agriculture-related infrastructure and other production-related resources. Thus, it is important to have an overview of the financial service industries and its potentials in the target countries. Despite the potentials of banking reach, microfinance institutions are still the key to improve financial access to agriculture workers in developing countries, given its advantage in proximity to the customers and its frequent association with more cooperative financing approaches.

To conclude, our initial target is developing countries where agriculture has been vital to the country’s economic development. Agricultural land occupies a large percentage of total land area and has been one of the main sources of employment. These countries should also have high internet and mobile penetration rate, which are requisite for the adoption of HARA platform. In addition, a combination of highly mobile and banking/microfinance institutions reach increases the potentials for HARA and its incentive system to be accepted by farmers as data providers.

Just curious, how do you choose on which country to introduce Hara? like what parameters do you look for.

Hara has a data qualification mechanism to ensure the accurate rating of data. Any data submitted on the exchange must earn a minimum basic rating before any exchange can occur. This adds a secondary level of information aggregation to allow for dynamic forecasting. Data providers can allocate more token in order to drive more qualifications, thereby increasing its rating.

Data qualification method will be gamified in various ways, such as:
• Swiping for image recognition or confirmation
• Providing photographic proof of requested items
• Answering questions related to the data

 part of a data qualifier’s rating comes from qualifying other data qualifiers in order to ensure high-quality data is being submitted. The tokens for rating qualifiers are initially taken from HARA seeding fund then funded by a portion of the proceeds from the ongoing transactions. This acts as a self-regulating mechanism to ensure that data qualifiers are providing accurate data and to avoid data qualifiers gaming the system. The rating that data qualifiers received enables them to have access to better tiers of mini tasks and automatically increase their credibility.

How do you make sure that data buyers are getting quality data and getting their money's worth?

In this scenario, a company, NGO, government institution, or even an individual can contribute tokens to get access to raw data sets from HARA. These data buyers will input a search query using parameters and filters provided in the HARA ecosystem, concentrated around the agricultural and food sector data.  When buyers access data, they can do so directly with tokens or go through a network operator using local currency. The network operator will find the best exchange price and make the transaction seamless for the buyer.
