1. Overview & Purpose
OurSiamDream partners with local agricultural cooperatives to build economic resilience through fair-trade agroforestry. A major challenge in ethical specialty markets is greenwashing—middlemen blending high-grade community harvests with commercial commodity crops.
This Standard Operating Procedure establishes the step-by-step procedure for certifying, lot-tagging, and cryptographically verifying batches from rural plots in Northern and Southern Thailand directly to consumers and partner hotels.
2. Five-Stage Custody Lifecycle
[1. Farm-Gate Harvest]

v
[4. Eco-Packaging & QR Printing]

3. Batch Metadata Schema (JSON)
Every package produced by partner cooperatives carries an encoded JSON certificate:
{

"harvest_date": "2026-10-12",
"cooperative": {
"name": "Mae Wang Sustainable Forest Cooperative",
"province": "Chiang Mai",
"elevation_masl": 1280
},
"processing_method": "Washed / Sun-Dried",
"quality_score_sca": 86.5,
"farmer_payout_percentage": 72.5,

}
4. Field Quality Assurance Checklist
- Verify digital scale is calibrated against certified 1.000\,\text{kg} reference weight prior to morning intake.
- Ensure coffee cherry moisture is measured below 11.5\% before packaging to prevent fungal spoilage.
- Validate that packaging bags use compostable polylactic acid (PLA) liners and soy-based inks.
- Test mobile QR scan with offline browser cache to guarantee consumer landing page renders instantaneously.
- Audit bank settlement manifests confirming direct bank transfers to growers within 48 hours of lot intake.
