For farmers, traders and cooperatives
Seven services, from one account.
This is a non-functional prototype built for a tender. It runs on demonstration data and no application made here reaches the Department.
Your land, and what you grow or keep on it. Everything else starts here, because the other three services are attached to a registered holding.

A visit from a livestock officer, either because something is wrong or as a routine check.

The laboratory arranges collection, runs the analysis and issues a certificate. You are notified when the result is ready.
Your name, contact details and district, kept up to date by you. Officers see the same record.
Everything you upload and everything issued to you — leases, certificates, laboratory results — stored and searchable.
You are told when an application moves stage and when a laboratory result is ready, by e-mail or text message.
What stage each one has reached and which officer has it, from the day you apply to the outcome.
Your registered holdings, what you grow or keep on each, and your own totals across them.
The portal works on a phone or a tablet, which is where most farmers will open it.
The same four steps whichever service you apply for.
You register once, with your national identity number. The same account covers every service on this page.
Each service asks only for what it needs, a step at a time, and saves as you go.
Every application has a page showing which stage it has reached and who has it. You are notified when it moves.
A lease, a certificate, a laboratory result or a decision, issued to your account and kept with your documents.
Registering takes a few minutes and you need your national identity number to hand.
