Figure 1: Components of Supply Chain Traceability21
When operationalised in real-life, blockchain technology can allow a
farmer/producer to use a mobile device app to track how their produce is
sorted and when it reaches the client in a blockchain-enabled stream
restraint. Transporters can see every piece of the crop in the
inventory, allowing them to see any superiority issues quickly.
Transport becomes more independent by participating in information
barriers in the storehouse. The information created and managed on the
blockchain can be studied to identify practices that can be altered to
achieve the desired sustainability or economic goals. Clients can scan
an item at a store to learn where it came from, who cultivated it, how
long it’s been in stock, and other information22.
In addition to supply chain transparency, blockchains can help address
several other agriculture-related issues, including remittances for
smaller farmers and land registration as shown in figure 2.
