Abstract: (2616 Views)

The introduction of blockchain technology into the food supply chain represents a digital revolution that has led to widespread advances in tracking food security. This article presents a comprehensive review of the literature on the use of blockchain in the food supply chain. This article is a review of the synthesis evidence Best group. We have focused on the supply chains of meat, fruits and vegetables. The Literature review has been conducted from seven different databases. For more insight, we categorized meat, fruit, and vegetable articles into four groups: descriptive, prescriptive, conceptual, and predictive. Due to the small number of case studies in research, the theoretical and conceptual frameworks proposed in most food supply chain articles, including the supply chain of meat, fruits and vegetables, have been less tested in reality. These surveys and small-scale case studies do not clearly and completely identify the impact of blockchain on the meat, fruit and vegetable supply chain and the challenges that blockchain implementation may pose to these supply chains. Findings indicate that little valid and quality research has been done in this field and more research is needed on the use of blockchain in the supply chain of fresh products.
