Increasing Demand for Food ShippingTraceability
•COVID-19 has thrown the world into a chaotic environment. Many cases was associated with imported seafood which then allow people to reiterate the importance of traceability. According to OSHA, most food-born illnesses either start or expand within the food supply chain. The need for retailers and suppliers to document the who’s, what’s, where’s, and when’s of every aspect of the food supply chain, not only for consumer safety and protecting their brands – but legal reasons as well, has stimulated a growing need for more accurate traceability standards.
The need for Food Supply Chain Traceability – What’s the motivation?
What role is technology playing in this and more specifically Blockchain?
Why has this still not taken off in a big way, beyond a few successful POCs and even fewer commercial implementations?
Is the business model / economics viable today?
What’s the future?
