Coffee supply chain using blockchain

The evolution of supply chains has raised the bar significantly. However, it is still challenging to track the data and maintain its traceability. This paper presents a blockchain-based solution that enables the farmers to easily manage their supply chain. Although blockchain has many advantages, it still lacks many features that can improve the efficiency and transparency of the supply chain. This paper proposes a system that can provide reliable and secure solutions for the management of agricultural products. Its implementation is performed through a decentralized storage system called Interplanetary File System. Due to its decentralized nature and its secureness, blockchain is becoming more popular. Its integration with the supply chain is also substantial, but it is not enough to make the system sustainable. This paper proposes an incentive mechanism that will motivate the supply chain parties to adopt blockchain-based supply chain systems. Due to the increasing number of people wanting their data to be secure, it has become necessary for businesses to implement data encryption techniques. The advent of blockchain has solved this issue. One of these domains is the supply chain. Its decentralized nature enables it to be transacted with confidence by multiple parties. This paper proposes a general model for a supply chain.
