The eHakiki Verification Process
Counterfeiting is prevalent across many areas, from agricultural products and spare parts to fast-moving consumer goods and pharmaceuticals, negatively affecting the Tanzania economy and Tanzania people therefore putting the lives of Tanzanian people at risk. In this case, Quincewood and Tanzania Official Seed Certification Institute (TOSCI) worked closely with stakeholders, consumers and government regulators to successfully trial and implement eHakiki within the agriculture sector. This partnership led on to further collaboration with other government agencies within the agricultural sector including the Tanzania Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI).
The eHakiki system enables users to check in real-time the authenticity of the products that they have just purchased. eHakiki enables anyone to confidently, quickly and economically verify the authenticity of any product which carries the eHakiki verification codes via USSD platform.
