Blockchain Application for Traceability and Olive Oil Production in Brazil

Abstract

Goal: analyze the use of blockchain as a solution to improve the traceability of olive oil production in Brazil.
 
 Theoretical Reference: The technology blockchain has the potential to store data immutably, eliminating the need for third-party verification. In the food industry, this technology can reduce food losses, control temperature during transport and increase the transparency of food-related processes.
 
 Method: The first part is a bibliographical study that aims to identify the main applications of the technology blockchain in food traceability, with a specific focus on olive oil production, composing the mapping of the production chain.
 
 Results: These results are expected to provide a solid basis for understanding the use of the blockchain in the traceability of olive oil production of olive.
 
 Considerations: In the meantime, it is intended to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential benefits of the traceability system, mainly due to the existence of widespread fraud in the olive oil sector in Brazil, suggesting that the use of blockchain technology may be a promising approach to deal with this problem and protect consumers' interests.
