Abstract

Blockchain (B-CH) technology has been gaining attention as a potential solution for supply chain management challenges in various industries, including the agricultural sector. This research aims to propose a conceptual framework for integrating blockchain and supply chain management for wheat agriculture production in Asian countries. The wheat agriculture industry in Asian countries has been facing various challenges, such as inefficient supply chain management, lack of transparency, and trust issues among stakeholders. These challenges have led to various problems, such as counterfeiting, food safety concerns, and financial losses. To address these challenges, this research proposes a conceptual framework for integrating blockchain and supply chain management. The proposed framework aims to enhance transparency, traceability, and efficiency in the wheat agriculture supply chain. The framework includes several components, such as data collection, smart contracts, and decentralized data storage, which are designed to improve data accuracy, reduce data redundancy, and increase the visibility of the supply chain. The proposed framework is expected to benefit various stakeholders in the wheat agriculture supply chain, such as farmers, processors, distributors, and consumers. For instance, farmers can use the system to track the quality and quantity of their products, while processors can ensure the authenticity of the wheat they receive. Distributors can use the system to monitor the delivery process and ensure timely delivery, while consumers can trace the origin and quality of the wheat they purchase.
