Unlocking Efficiency in Agricultural Supply Chains: A Secure and Transparent Approach through Blockchain Technology

Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves orchestrating various processes that extend from acquiring raw materials to delivering finished products to end consumers. The key objectives of a proposed supply chain in agriculture, emphasizes information-driven processes, cost reduction, and customer impact. It creates a versatile system capable of managing the supply chain for diverse commodities within a country, while also addressing the crucial need for increased transparency and traceability in data throughout the chain of activities. In our proposed approach to agricultural supply chain management (SCM), the focus is on creating a secure, transparent, and traceable SCM. To achieve this, we leverage cutting-edge technologies like the Ethereum blockchain and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS). The resulting software is a Decentralized Application (DApp) that orchestrates a series of activities within the agricultural industry, using cryptocurrencies to establish a seamless and efficient supply chain management system. This software platform is fortified by the secure algorithms of blockchain, providing an added layer of reliability. Additionally, our application incorporates transparency and traceability, ensuring user-friendly functionality and making it more accessible for users.
