A Survey: Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Land Registration using Blockchain

A blockchain serves as a decentralized database or ledger shared across a computer network’s nodes. It ensures data records’ integrity and security while fostering trust without reliance on a central authority. Land registry procedures in India, like in numerous regions globally, often suffer from sluggishness and inconvenience. Current land registration & verification systems include an increasing number of fraud cases and lots of paperwork and court cases due to thousands of land records to maintain. Blockchain’s implementation will eliminate intermediaries in the system and also will reduce corruption, malpractices, and mismanagement of documents. It will increase the speed of the process and make it transparent. Land Registration is a simple decentralized application. Several significant issues have been noted, such as a high volume of physical transactions and the deliberate underreporting of property sale prices to the land registry office, aiming to avoid increased value taxes. After the literature survey analysis, we came up with three common comparison factors namely; Security, Transparency and Avoidance of forgery and malpractices. These parameters have been analyzed according to a fuzzy model. All the drawbacks can be best addressed by a suitable Blockchain-based solution. This text, explains the detailed traditional land registry system and how it can be improvised with blockchain. Hence, there is a need to create a system that will allow a direct transition from the seller to the buyer so as to ease the land registry transactions modules and create a system that will be more direct, transparent and secure for all the stakeholders involved in the land registration. A detailed study has been conducted which will help the researchers to get a better perspective on the current land registry system, its drawbacks and how it can be improvised.
