Abstract
The global distribution of manufacturing and agricultural products has brought increased focus on the health, efficiency, and validation of key criteria within food and the agriculture supply chain. Rise in the food safety issues and corruption has created a significant demand for effective traceability solutions. These fixes are essential for ensuring product safety and maintaining quality within the agriculture supply chain. Blockchain technology is emerging as a revolutionary tool, offering remarkable results for tracking commodities in agriculture and food supply chains. Todays agricultural supply chains are intricate ecosystems involving numerous stakeholders, which makes it challenging to validate important requirements such the nation of origin, crop growth stages, compliance with quality standards, and yield monitoring. This paper proposes a strategy that leverages block-chain technique to streamline business operations across the agricultural supply chain, improving the tracking of crop prices and traceability. The proposed framework removes the requirement for a centralized authority or intermediaries, providing secure, transparent records of transactions. This approach enhances efficiency and safety, with high level integrity and reliability. All transactions will record then stored in blockchains immutable ledger, connected to a decentralized network. This ensures a high degree of traceability also the transparency within the supply chain ecosystem, making it stable, reliable, and efficient.Keywords: Supply Chain Management, Blockchain Technology, Traceability, Sustainability, Agricultural Products.
