Blockchain is already a protagonist in food supply chains

One of the leading red fruit growing companies in the United States, California Giant Berry Farms will implement blockchain technology to increase the transparency of its supply chain. Through a partnership with the Glasschain blockchain platform , the company will seek to guarantee the freshness and security of its products .

The California company, which has more than 35 years of history, also supports blockchain with the IBM Food Trust . The Glasschain firm , in this opportunity, links the company and the ERP software of its client - in this case CGBF - with all the details about the location and the time of harvest and shipping throughout the supply chain.

California Giant senior director of operations, Thomas Taggart , noted that the firm's innovation will optimize and identify opportunities for improvement around operational efficiency and ensure the freshness of its products .

On the other hand, the retail giant Walmart praised the decision of California Giant to innovate its productive development, and assured that the company is also making progress in adopting DLT technology .

From green leafy vegetables to bell peppers, Walmart has been digitizing its food supply chain using blockchain. This allows us to track food from farm to store and helps us ensure that it is fresh and safe when our customers buy it, ”added Walmart senior director of global food safety innovation, Texas Bhatt .

In recent months, blockchain technology has been a source of innovations in different areas . Industry leading companies pharmaceutical , automotive , food , chain fast food and even airlines have chosen advanced to emerging technologies. In addition, blockchain has proven to be one of the most efficient tools for creating solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic , reducing personal contacts and streamlining different types of procedures of any kind.
