An Adoption of Blockchain Technology in Agri Food Supply Chain: An Overview

Abstract

AbstractBlockchain Technology (BT) is anticipated to bring a drastic change in the manner transactions are carried in the agri food supply chain (AFSC). BT provides transparent operations by avoiding trust-related issues in the whole supply chain (SC). In this paper, a systematic literature assessment is taken as the main methodology to analyse and survey the recent literature. The main aim is to be identified as the pros and cons of BT related to its adoption in AFSC. This research paper also indicates the reason behind the slow adoption of blockchain (BC) as well as hesitation regarding the implementation in the industries. There are many ongoing projects which adopt BT in their SC, but still, there are some obstacles which are needed to be sorted out before implementation. Due to the barriers and some difficulties, its popularity is not spreading as much between the farmers and the implementing authority. BT deserves much popularity in any SC because it has a better capacity to handle transparency, traceability, privacy, security, and many more characteristics. The key finding of this paper is the potential challenges in the adoption of BT in AFSC. This study has proposed the solution to the various issues in the implementation of BT in AFSC.KeywordsBlockchainTransparencyTraceabilitySupply chain managementAgri food supply chain
