Abstract
The agriculture industry is increasingly adopting blockchain technology to address challenges related to transparency, traceability, and efficiency in crop supply chains. Blockchain, a decentralized and secure digital ledger, offers a promising solution for tracking the journey of agricultural products from farm to table. By providing an immutable and transparent record of every transaction, blockchain technology can enhance the traceability of crops, reduce fraud, ensure food safety, and build consumer trust. This paper explores the potential of blockchain in revolutionizing crop supply chains by improving data accuracy, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and enabling better decision-making through real-time information sharing. Additionally, we discuss the integration of blockchain with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart contracts, and artificial intelligence to further streamline agricultural processes. The paper also highlights the key challenges and opportunities in implementing blockchain in agriculture and presents case studies of successful blockchain applications in crop production and distribution. The future of blockchain in agriculture promises to improve food security, promote sustainability, and empower farmers, suppliers, and consumers alike
