Abstract

This chapter aims to demonstrate how implementation of blockchain-driven supply chain can improve traceability in the food supply. The five cases included in this chapter, three from a South Asian country and two from Europe, elaborate chapter’s central argument. Even though the supply in European countries is well regulated and documented but still faces legal issues like counterfeit products and undisclosed product ingredients. The situation is worst in South Asian countries, where traceability of information from the point of origin to the selling point is even more difficult. Such non-traceability results in ethical and legal issues, other than customer trust issues. Authors suggest that block chain-driven-supply chain could be the ultimate solution to traceability issues in the food supply chain. Information processing theory operates at the backend to support the notion of traceability. Finally, a food supply chain model via blockchain technology is proposed to handle the issue of traceability.
