Abstract:
With more globalization, the food supply chain has become very advanced. It has become a very common practice to buy the off-season vegetables and fruits by the consumers. The food ingredients are travelling a very long distance to reach the destination from different parts of the world. As more globalizations has been seen in the food industry so it results in more travel of the products. Moreover, it results in variations in the information. It results in more complex food systems and increasing issues in food supply chain. Food Frauds has been seen due to the reason of lack of transparency and immoral practices. It also results in food recalls. There is an increasing demand by the consumers to validate their purchases by the tracking of the products and also by understanding the effect of environment throughout the food supply chain. For resolving these issues and for the enhancement of the business a new information technology is used known as Blockchain Technology. It is a chain of blocks. All these blocks are in a database that is called as the shared ledger, and this is further well distributed in the network of the given business. If a single tempering is noticed in one block it will not be able to link to the next block and results in breakage of the chain. Blockchain is secure, up to dated, reliable and difficult to hack. The food supply chains efficiency as well as the transparency can be increased by the blockchain, and it has a positive impact from the warehouse to the payment.
