Abstract

This invention relates to a method and system of autonomously tracking a batch of agricultural product through the various stages of harvest, transportation and storage. Said method and system comprise a plurality of sensors and RFID tags positioned on the agricultural product conveying devices, transport containers, and storage bins 5 such that information, such as date, time, equipment involved and location, is recorded at each transfer of a batch of agricultural product. The data collected on transfer is uploaded to a virtual or physical database in association with a batch identifier, and the database can be queried to access information regarding the quality, quantity and attributes of the batch of agricultural product.
