Abstract: ABSTRACT [0013] The agri-food supply chain faces major challenges such as lack of transparency, food fraud, inefficient tracking, and trust issues among stakeholders. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution by enabling secure, transparent, and tamper-proof record keeping across the entire supply chain. This invention proposes a blockchain-based framework to improve governance in the agri-food sector by ensuring end-to-end visibility from farm to consumer. The agricultural sector is essential for global food security but continues to face challenges in supply chain management, including lack of transparency, traceability, and data integrity. The system is built on an enterprise blockchain platform that integrates zero-knowledge proof protocols to ensure data privacy while maintaining secure and transparent transactions. It introduces a scalable process model that separates the registry of agricultural records from the actual data, enabling efficient data handling. Smart contracts are used to automate key supply chain operations such as record creation, validation, transfer, and deletion, allowing end-to-end traceability from farm to consumer. The framework also incorporates role-based access control for stakeholders including farmers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. By recording every stage of the supply chain as an immutable transaction, the system provides real-time information about product origin, quality, and movement, thereby improving traceability and enabling rapid identification of issues such as contamination or delays. Integration with Internet of Things sensors further supports continuous monitoring of environmental conditions during storage and transport. Overall, the invention enhances transparency, security, and operational efficiency while strengthening trust among all participants in the agri-food network.
