# How Can I Trace a Crop Lot From the Field to the Buyer?

You trace a lot by giving each harvested load a lot number linked to its field, its applications, its storage location, and the sales delivery that used it, so the full path can be followed in either direction. On **Jestor**, this runs through linked **tables** for fields, lots, storage, and deliveries.

Buyers increasingly ask where a product comes from and how it was grown. Without traceability, a quality complaint or a request for records becomes a long search through papers and memories.

## What missing traceability costs

- Lost sales to buyers who require origin information
- Slow responses to quality complaints
- Entire shipments questioned when only one lot is affected
- Difficulty proving practices followed in the field
- Records rebuilt under pressure from scattered sources

## How lot traceability works

- Each load receives a **lot number** linked to its field and date
- Field activities and applications connect to the lot
- Storage and delivery records are added as the lot moves
- Searching a lot shows its whole path, and searching a field shows its lots

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Buyer questions are answered with real records
- Problems can be limited to the lots affected
- Good practices become a selling point
- This scales from a few lots to many farms and buyers

| Origin remembered or reconstructed | Lot linked from field to buyer |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Slow, uncertain answers            | Complete path in one search    |
