MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541116593 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 25, 2025, for 'blockchain based agricultural supply chain system for qr code enabled produce traceability and authentication.'
Inventor(s) include D. Kavitha; R Nikhil Ganesh; Naveen S; Muhammad Khubaib; Shriya S; Sethuvinayagam L; and Dominic Assisi B.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents a blockchain-based agricultural traceability and authentication system, designed for fragmented and opaque supply chains. When an originating user, such as a farmer, registers a harvest batch via a mobile application, the system generates a unique QR code and creates a corresponding digital asset on a permissioned Hyperledger Fabric blockchain. As the produce moves through the supply chain, each subsequent stakeholder scans this QR code to log a timestamped transaction, building a complete, immutable "farm-to-fork" record. Consumers can then scan the final products QR code to instantly verify its origin, harvest date, and logistical history. Unlike traditional, non-transparent ledgers, this syslein provides a single, auditable source of truth, which enhances farmer bargaining power, prevents fraud, and builds consumer trust. The system's unique design allows it to evolve beyond simple tracking into a complete economic engine, incorporating future modules for a transparent auction marketplace and integrated payment gateways tied directly to blockchain-verified deliveries."
