Blockchain Technology to Redefine the Food and Agriculture Industries

The global blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain market is estimated to be valued at USD 60.8 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 429.7 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 47.8% during the forecast period. Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the food and agriculture sectors by enhancing the decision-making capabilities of organizations. According to the FAO, every year nearly one-third of the food produced globally is wasted, which has led to an increasing need for estimating and managing the actual supply and demand of food products so that these products reach the needy. These issues can be easily and efficiently tackled by using the blockchain network. The blockchain market is projected to grow due to the increase in demand for supply chain transparency along the agriculture and food verticals. According to the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) (2014), the estimated food fraud cases cost USD 49.0 billion in the global food industry annually. This has resulted in an increased awareness among consumers, which is further projected to drive the growth of the blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain market. Uncertainty in regulations and standards and the limited availability of technical skillsets for implementing the blockchain technology are key factors restraining the growth of the blockchain technology in the agriculture and food supply chain market.

“The product traceability, tracking, and visibility segment is projected to dominate the blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain market throughout the forecast period.”

Based on application, the product traceability, tracking, and visibility segment is projected to dominate the blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain market throughout the forecast period. The growing demand for platforms and solutions to attain complete traceability of food products across the supply chain and the increasing instances of food fraud in many countries are major factors supporting the need for product traceability, tracking, and visibility application. However, there has been an increase in investments in blockchain implementation across the food and agriculture industry verticals, along with the growing number of pilot studies across the globe.
