Leveraging Blockchain Technology for Food Supply Chain to Avoid the Intermediaries in Bangladesh

The blockchain-based structure can be one of the best ways to improve transparency and efficiency in the food supply chain. In the current supply chain of Bangladesh, lack of transparency, manipulation of intermediaries regarding price, and struggle faced by farmers are prevalent. The proposed structure utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts to connect farmers and consumers directly, thereby eliminating intermediaries. This elimination will ensure fair prices for the farmers and increase consumers' purchasing power. Additionally, smart contracts automatically execute agreements related to pricing, delivery terms, and product information. Furthermore, consumers will have access to a transparent record of the food journey from land to consumers' homes, which will increase trust and confidence in food quality. These contributions can have a significant impact on society by supporting SDG ۱ (No Poverty), SDG ۲ (Zero Hunger), and SDG ۱۲ (Responsible Consumption).
