SMART CONTRACT: MAKE TRACEABILITY EASY

Abstract: The complexity of a supply chain makes product safety or quality issues extremely difficult to track, especially for the basic agricultural food supply chains of people’s daily diets. The existing agricultural food supply chains present several major problems, such as numerous participants, inconvenient communication caused by long supply chain cycles, data distrust between participants and the centralized system. The emergence of blockchain technology effectively solves the pain-point problem existing in the traceability system of agricultural food supply chains. This thesis proposes a framework based on the consortium and smart contracts to track and trace the workflow of agricultural food supply chains, implement traceability and share ability of supply chains, and breakdown the information is lands between enterprises as much as possible to eliminate the need for the central institutions and agencies and improve the integrity of the transaction records, reliability and security.

Keywords: Blockchain, smart contract, agricultural food supply chain, traceability, food safety.
