AgriBlock: A Blockchain based Framework for Agricultural Supply Chain Management

Abstract

To facilitate complex interactions between regional players and the agricultural environment, modern agriculture supply chains have arisen. Supply chain processes that include several parties, such as production, processing, and delivery, interacting with one another. Lack of transparency in the agricultural supply chain is a major contributor to the incidence of fraud in this industry. A lack of openness on the part of organisations leads to worries about potential financial losses, diminishing customer trust, and dwindling brand value. Several fundamental changes to the existing supply chain architecture are required to foster the development of an effective and reliable trade environment. It is widely recognised that blockchain technology has the potential to increase visibility across agricultural and food supply chains. Businesses are using blockchain and IoT to implement more egalitarian, sustainable, and consumer-friendly methods of food production. Based on what we learned, blockchain technology may be useful in the push for a more transparent and responsible food supply chain. The primary goal of this study is to create a decentralised application framework called AgriBlock that can be used for managing the supply chains of agricultural products using blockchain technology. The developed work AgriBlock will aid in making the supply chain process more open and clear to every participant involved.
