Fruits supply chain management using Blockchain: A theoretic operation

Abstract

This study provides a decentralized blockchain-based traceability system that allows for the continuous integration of IoT devices from the producer to the end-user. This study developed a "Supplier-Consumer Network" - a hypothetical end-to-end fruit traceability programme - to help with implementation. The goal is to build a distributed ledger that can be accessed by all network members, resulting in more openness. Also, attempts to construct blockchain-based traceability for farmers and nutrients to reduce the loss and prevent fruits waste. Besides that, it used blockchain-based supply chain management for farmers. Besides that, experts review and farmers validation have been utilized. Blockchain-based traceability to the farmer represents an ultimate trace and explore the best possible way to dispatch to the seller before fruits rotten.  This study contributed to the academic understanding of fruit supply chain management. Also, provide an inclusive idea to households and reduce fruit waste. Finding ways to reduce the fruit supply chain can be an effective method of waste prevention through tracing and distributing appropriate times for fruit supply chain management.
