“…Examples of these details have been listed at the beginning of Section 3, and the process is described in Figure 2. This issue is of great concern in China, where the extremely fast growth has created serious transparency problems (Tian 2017), (Tse, et al 2017). Food safety and integrity can be enhanced through higher traceability (Galvez, Mejuto and Simal-Gandara 2018), (Creydt en Fischer 2019).…”

Blockchain is an emerging digital technology allowing ubiquitous financial transactions among distributed untrusted parties, without the need of intermediaries such as banks. This article examines the impact of blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chain, presents existing ongoing projects and initiatives, and discusses overall implications, challenges and potential, with a critical view over the maturity of these projects. Our findings indicate that blockchain is a promising technology towards a transparent supply chain of food, with many ongoing initiatives in various food products and food-related issues, but many barriers and challenges still exist, which hinder its wider popularity among farmers and systems. These challenges involve technical aspects, education, policies and regulatory frameworks.

The food supply chain is a complex system that involves a multitude of “stakeholders” such as farmers, production factories, distributors, retailers and consumers. “Information asymmetry” between stakeholders is one of the major factors that lead to food fraud. Some current researches have shown that applying blockchain can help ensure food safety. However, they tend to study the traceability of food but not its supervision. This paper provides a blockchain-based credit evaluation system to strengthen the effectiveness of supervision and management in the food supply chain. The system gathers credit evaluation text from traders by smart contracts on the blockchain. Then the gathered text is analyzed directly by a deep learning network named Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). Finally traders’ credit results are used as a reference for the supervision and management of regulators. By applying blockchain, traders can be held accountable for their actions in the process of transaction and credit evaluation. Regulators can gather more reliable, authentic and sufficient information about traders. The results of experiments show that adopting LSTM results in better performance than traditional machine learning methods such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Navie Bayes (NB) to analyze the credit evaluation text. The system provides a friendly interface for the convenience of users.

“…Such performance is not practicable for business environment. In research works (Banerjee, 2018;Tse et al, 2017) blockchain and traditional system such as Political, Economic, Social, Technological (PEST) analysis, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Content Management System (CMS) are integrated. PEST analysis can scan only external environment.…”

Distributed ledger technology is an immutable data storage and transparent system, which is a constituent component that empowers the Food supply Chain Management (FSCM). Due to the immutable data feature, the scalability of blockchain technology is quite a challenge. In essence, blockchain data may grow rapidly as compared to the existing approach, and such circumstances is an issue that need to be addressed. Also, high volumes of data process for each transaction verification couple with long period of time for computation, lead to high overhead and resource consumption. This study discusses improved methods to reduce the amount of data generated by system. The proposed method employs the header verification system for transaction to reduce data growth and data processing time. During transaction, this method will verify only the header file information with using Merkle tree. This system is able to store each transaction of a node and form blockchain. Subsequently, each node is capable to verify valid transactions only by use of header data without maintaining full data of blockchain. The expected outcome of the scheme is the significant decrease of data growth in blockchain.
