Introduction
AgriChain’s Overseas Operations feature enables businesses operating across multiple countries to seamlessly transact beyond their home region. However, before proceeding, you must first add the overseas company to your own directory. This can only be done once the company-level setting for Overseas Operations has been enabled for your account.
Please get in touch with support to activate this setting: Reach out to our Support team by visiting https://agrichain.freshdesk.com/support/home, and raise a ticket.
To add a company to your companies directory (once the setting is enabled):
- Navigate to the Companies module from the left-hand side menu.
- Click the "+Company" button in the top-right of the screen to add a company to your directory.

- Once you have filled the necessary details, click the "Next" button at the bottom of the form to save. The company will then be added to your company's directory. See below for details to add for international companies.

FAQS
Why can't I edit a company's details when I enter their identifiers?
If the company is currently an AgriChain Subscriber, all company details fields will be locked, and you will not be able to edit them. This is because the company controls their details in the AgriChain system. If you believe their company details need amending, please contact the company directly.
Why are their details automatically populating when I enter their identifiers?
If the company is not an AgriChain user but has already been added to the global directory by another user, the company details will be automatically populated, but can still be edited by you. Please note that if you make changes to the company details, these changes will be system-wide and all other AgriChain users with that company in their directory will be able to see the changes you make.
Why do they have almost no Company details when I added them to my directory?
If the company has never been added to the AgriChain system by any user, you will need to enter the company details and complete their profile.
