Agriculture supply chain blockchain-enabled solution

Abstract

The agricultural supply chain faces significant challenges related to transparency, trust, fraud prevention, and process inefficiencies. As global trade intensifies, stakeholders—including manufacturers, importers, inspection agencies, shipping companies, and banks—require more reliable systems to ensure product authenticity, maintain quality standards, and execute secure, timely transactions. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature, presents a promising solution to these issues. This work explores how blockchain can be leveraged within the agricultural supply chain, with a particular focus on the production and trade of mango pulp, to create a more efficient, accountable, and fraud-resistant network. This work uses a methodology to examine blockchain’s impact on mango pulp supply chains, highlighting specific instances where blockchain enhances transparency, reduces fraud, and ensures compliance with contract terms. Key findings indicate that blockchain not only strengthens the security and reliability of data shared among stakeholders but also enhances trust and operational efficiency through automated processes and real-time information accessibility. The study also addresses implementation challenges, including initial costs, regulatory compliance, and the need for collaboration across diverse parties to achieve effective adoption.
