BlockBasket- Decentralization of Dairy Supply Chain: A Review

This review paper explores how blockchain technology can address some of the key challenges in the dairy supply chain, like improving transparency, traceability, and efficiency. It brings together studies that look at both the technical side—such as how blockchain can be integrated with IoT devices for data capture and how smart contracts can streamline processes—and the practical side, focusing on how these systems impact stakeholders like farmers, retailers, and consumers. We go over the main parts of the dairy supply chain where blockchain can make a difference, such as verifying product authenticity and ensuring fair pricing. We also look at how researchers assess the performance of these systems and review real-world examples that show how blockchain could work in practice. Lastly, the paper covers the hurdles that still stand in the way of blockchain adoption in the dairy industry and suggests future steps to improve supply chain operations.
