Abstract

The cotton industry is a crucial sector in many Asian countries, with significant economic, social, and environmental influences. However, the supply-chain management (SCM) of the cotton industry is often complicated, opaque, and prone to various inefficiencies, such as counterfeiting, fraud, and lack of transparency. The study will explore the various components of the cotton supply chain, including production, processing, transportation, and distribution, and identify the specific challenges that blockchain can address. The research will also review the existing literature on blockchain-based supply chain management (BCSCM) and its applications in various industries to identify best practices, lessons learned, and potential implementation strategies for the cotton industry. The study will use both qualitative and quantitative research methods, such as surveys, interviews, and case studies, to gather data from relevant stakeholders, including cotton farmers, processors, traders, and consumersUltimately, the proposed conceptual framework can serve as a guide for policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders in the cotton industry who are considering adopting blockchain technology to improve their SCM practices.
