In recent years, traceability systems have become increasingly crucial in addressing severe issues across industries, including food safety, contamination, and fraud. The agricultural sector has been an early adopter and developer of such systems to ensure safety. Nowadays, producers are utilizing various emerging technologies to establish and authenticate connections between end-users and primary producers.

TRST01 Platform: The TRST01 blockchain-enabled traceability platform is a digital system designed to gather verified data from production to distribution. It enables customers to trace the details of the production process up to the point of sale, ensuring a quality-controlled product. The unified cloud blockchain platform securely stores and provides access to all data points in the supply chain. The primary goal of the TRST01 platform is to create traceability throughout the entire chain, end-to-end, with transparency for the consumer as the main benefit.

Purpose of Mango Traceability: Every fruit choice should deliver the best variety of mangoes, ensuring optimal freshness, flavor, and nutrition. Implementing traceability technology (recording the mango’s origin, plantation location, harvest date, ripening methods, quality checks, and transportation) for various data/event points will help consumers receive value for their money and combat product mislabeling. The fruit’s complete journey is made available to the consumers. This feature is particularly relevant as the authenticity and source of origin are vital parameters in ensuring accurate value for both producers and consumers.

Benefits of Mango Traceability: Each mango variety, traceable back to its source via a blockchain-enabled QR code, ensures consumers have full transparency. Consumers can scan this code with their smartphones, allowing them to track the product from the farm to the retail shelf. The traceability feature transparently shares sustainable and ethical agricultural practices of the farmers, creating operational efficiency in the entire supply chain management. This practice leads to significant social impact on various stakeholders, recorded and shared in association with the product. The transparency and traceability network established for a specific breed of mangoes enhances market prospects for farmers and creates a brand of trust and customer satisfaction.

TRST01 Platform Integration and Deployment: • User Assistance Provided: We provide assistance to enable all target users to use the API (provided) to communicate directly with existing ERPs for data verification and authentication, installation, configuration, and service use. • Blockchain-as-a-Service Solution: Depending on client needs, TRST01 BaaS can serve as a platform and a ready-to-use service for users.

Need for a Blockchain-enabled Technology Platform: Research indicates that, concerning Agri traceability (food and seed), the immutability and decentralization of data using blockchain significantly alleviate issues related to certification, fraud, and supply chain transparency, and facilitate the use of standard data elements. The platform then aids in generating a unique hash-integrated QR code for mango tray/individual fruit level. The collected information is updated on the blockchain platform in real-time, enabling monitoring and sharing among various stakeholders.
