Abstract :
Supply chains are turning into automated and
extremely complicated networks and are becoming a key
source of potential benefits in the modern world. At the
same time, people are becoming more interested in food
product quality. However, it is tough to identify the
provenance of data and preserve its traceability
throughout the supply chain network. The old supply
chains are centralized and they depend on a third party
for transactions. These centralized systems lack
transparency, accountability, and audibility. In our
proposed solution, we have offered a complete solution
for the block-chain based Agriculture and Food (AgriFood) supply chain. It uses the key characteristics of
blockchain and smart contracts, deployed on an
Ethereum blockchain network. Although blockchain
enables the immutability of data and records in the
network, it still fails to solve certain major difficulties in
supply chain management the trustworthiness of the
involved entities, accountability of the trading process,
and the traceability of the items. Therefore, there is a
requirement for a dependable system that assures
traceability, trust, and delivery mechanism in the AgriFood supply chain. In the proposed system, all
transactions are written to a blockchain which finally
uploads the data to Interplanetary File Storage System
(IPFS) (IPFS). The storage system returns a hash of the
data which is kept on blockchain and ensures an
efficient, safe, trustworthy solution. Our solution
provides smart contracts together with accompanying
algorithms to display the interaction of entities in the
system. Furthermore, simulations and assessments of
smart contracts together with the security and
vulnerability studies are also included in this paper.
