Integrating Blockchain for Supply Chain Management of Agricultural and Food Products
摘要
Traceability is an essential part of agriculture supply chain management for guaranteeing the quality of food and boosting consumer happiness and loyalty. As a result of the problems associated with centralized data storage, we are transitioning to a system in which transparency and quality assurance are ensured at every stage of the supply chain, from framer to end user. The present supply chain model has some drawbacks, such as a lack of knowledge about the product’s travel history and origin and a lack of communication between the organizations of the supply chain. When different farmers and other interested parties use modern means of communication, everyone benefits. Blockchain technology improves supply chain security, transparency, and traceability by recording all supply chain transactions and making them permanently accessible to all parties. In this paper, we introduce a blockchain-based, distributed ledger system (DLT) for tracking assets that can guarantee the system’s honesty and openness. Most of the drawbacks of the old supply chain model were resolved by adopting this new one. We pre sented a decentralized supply chain concept with a smart contract for coordinating all supply chain transactions.
