As of April 15, Farmer’s Hen House eggs began to be sold in cartons containing QR codes that enable consumers to recognize products and follow the supply chain. The blockchain-based data warehouse will contain information about which day the eggs were selected, on which farm, they were packaged, and farmers’ certificates. Emphasizing that they hope to bridge the gap between the egg company, farmers and customers: “We believe that transparency is the most distinctive feature of ethical food production. That’s why we offered our customers an opportunity to see where, from, and how the products they bought came from. ” With each passing day, there is an increase in the number of companies that start using blockchain-based systems in order to offer advanced tracking to food and product supply chains. Recently, Nestle started using the blockchain ecosystem to monitor the origin of coffee beans sold through the premium coffee brand Zoégas. In March, Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong province of China, launched the blockchain-based agricultural traceability platform to reduce food safety violations and to monitor products in the supply chain.
