Decentralized Traceability and Direct Marketing Supply Chains

The agricultural sector is currently facing significant challenges, one of the most critical being the absence of a streamlined and direct supply chain between farmers and buyers. This disconnect often leads to inefficiencies, price manipulation, and vulnerability for farmers, resulting in reduced income and compromised product quality. To address these pressing issues, we are developing an innovative webbased platform that provides visibility into farmers profiles, enabling buyers to access critical information such as product availability, and pricing directly and product reviews from the source. This portal will empower buyers to connect with farmers in real time, allowing for direct communication, price negotiations, and quick updates on agreement terms. To further enhance the system's transparency and security, Blockchain technology is integrated to record all transactions and store them in an immutable, decentralized ledger. By securing the integrity of transaction data, Blockchain ensures traceability, reduces the risk of fraud, and fosters trust between stakeholders. The proposed web portal aims to bridge the gap between farmers and buyers, fostering a more transparent, trustworthy, and efficient agricultural marketplace. The approach not only has the potential to improve the livelihoods of farmers by ensuring fair trade but also benefits buyers by providing direct access to quality produce. Furthermore, it promotes sustainability in agricultural practices by encouraging more transparent supply chains.
