California Giant Berry Farms, a major berry producer in California, is using the Glasschain blockchain platform to track products across its supply chain. Interestingly, California Giant complies with IBM's Food Trust platform and allows access to data at all points in the supply chain.
California Giant uses blockchain to track berries
California Giant, a Watsonville company, has turned to distributed general office technology (DLT) to ensure the freshness and protection of the berries produced on its farms. According to sources close to the company, the company uses Glasschain software. This "All-Inclusive Event Database" communicates between the company and the customer through the software with all the details about product harvesting and shipping time across the supply chain.

According to Thomas Tagart, chief executive of California Giant, the development has given the company and its partners the opportunity to improve their operational efficiency while also focusing on product freshness. Similarly, Walmart praised the California retailer's decision to adopt blockchain technology to simplify supply chain infrastructure. "We have a lot to offer," he said.

Using blockchain technology, Walmart has digitized its food supply chain (from a variety of vegetables to bell peppers). This allows us to track food from the farm to other stores to ensure a safe and secure purchase.

Blockchain is an ideal solution to deal with supply chain inefficiencies
Blockchain technology, with its secure and sustainable transaction distribution offices, has become an ideal solution for the global supply chain. In fact, private blockchains provide more profits for fast trading and scalable operations, which has made it significantly more popular among companies looking for a DLT-based approach to optimizing their supply chains. According to BTCManager on January 8, 2020, IBM, in partnership with Farmer Connect, has launched a blockchain-based app called "Thank My Farmer" to enable coffee shoppers to track their coffee supply chain. The media also reported on Malaysia's decision to use blockchain technology to increase transparency and traceability in the local palm oil supply chain ecosystem.
