Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The interactive method for rural Barter, object of the present invention refers to a software-controlled method which turns Barter into an operation with tokenized asset associated to marketplaces/hub, social networks, and hubs, in a platform which mixes elements of social network withe-commerce, with the purpose of approximating buyers and sellers who use Barter operations, and further providing a space for exchange of information, with the creation and facilitation of smart contracts.

[0012] The tokens are used for interactions with farmers and suppliers in a Marketplace mixed with social network, taking into account the trustfulness generated by feedback with the social network. In this manner, providing the interaction thereof with communication applications (WhatsApp) and a chat tool for sellers to interact with their clients.

[0013] The token is used to carry out transactions in these identity related services. The records of the transactions are stored in the blockchain/database. This creates an economy wherein all are rewarded for participating. In this configuration, all the participants can reach their goals.

[0014] In this embodiment, the farmer makes an anticipated purchase without paying anything in the act. Thus, to achieve the inputs that he needs, the farmer must sign a contract wherein he undertakes to deliver part of his next crop. This is done by means of a document called Rural Product Note or CPR, which is the key piece for this type of transaction. With the CPR it is possible to generate tokens.

[0015] This is how it works: the farmer fixes the price for part of his future crop, using a value corresponding to his costs. With the fixed production cost, this farmer is protected from variations in the interest rate and in the price of commodities. Thus, he will guarantee the best condition to manage his profitability.

[0016] According to article 1 of Law 8.929, the CPR is a clear and indisputable title, which represents “the promise of delivery of rural products”. Therefore, it does not establish a price, only details the quality and quantity of the product which must be delivered. [021] Traceability of critical operations.

[0017] Drafting the best strategies to reduce or transfer their risks, such as, for example, the Parametric Insurance which helps to protect the crop against the impacts of weather conditions.

[0018] Reputation system which evaluates the suppliers of the platform based on quality, sales, and client perception criteria.

[0019] To share their feedback and help other people in the Marketplace, it is possible to classify the buyers and sellers with whom he interacted.

[0020] A score that entitles to a seal of quality.

[0021] Identify the performance of shopkeepers and farmers, guaranteeing credibility to rural partner producers and the e-commerce. Additionally, advertisements with good quality can appear highlighted in the e-commerce channel, favoring the exchange of tokens for products.

[0022] Thus, the closer the members of this chain work, the greater will be the overall benefit.

[0023] Additionally, the token can be generated from paid environment conservation and recuperation initiatives, environmental voluntary market for the projects to receive anticipated income and liquidity to guarantee the full development thereof. It enables structuring and scaling the environmental services market by generating tokens to provide credibility and financial security to projects as a reward for those who protect natural resources.

[0024] Several services are offered by the marketplace/hub. The marketplace/hub offers a comprehensive range of innovative and high-quality services. Even financial support and insurance by means of partnerships with fintechs. Which might be:

[0039] Advantages

[0040] In this manner, the interactive method for rural Barter, object of the present invention, as described above, with a filtering element submitted to a thermo-chemical treatment which aims at increasing the resistance thereof to abrasion by means of surface hardening. It presents a new and unique configuration which grants several great advantages. Among these advantages the following can be cited: generating tokens automatically, from the barter operations; the integration with communication apps; the facility in preparing digital contracts (safety of the contracts, Rural Product Note (CPR)); the traceability of the critical operations; the fact of being able to outline the best strategies to reduce or transfer their risks, such as, for example, the Parametric Insurance which helps to protect the crop against the impacts of weather conditions; the fact of presenting a reputation system which evaluates the platform suppliers based on quality, sales and client perception criteria; and the fact of being able to share their feedback and help other people in the Marketplace, it being possible to classify the buyers and sellers with whom you interacted.

[0041] Additionally, it provides more agility and efficiency to the Barter. In short, the organization of the chain occurs in the following manner: farmer: has the product to deliver in exchange for inputs or machinery; inputs or machinery supplier: wishes to sell pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, combine harvesters, tractors etc., and the trading or grain consumer: is interested in the grain for sale or consumption. The more the application is used, the greater the trust by third parties in the digital identity stored in the platform.

[0042] Thus, by the configuration and working characteristics described above, it can be clearly observed that the INTERACTIVE METHOD FOR RURAL BARTER refers to a new method for the State of the Art which comprise the unpublished novelty, inventive activity and industrial application which makes them deserve the Patent of Invention Privilege.
