With the ability to track every movement of food – from the farm to the customer’s basket – blockchain has the power to address numerous challenges plaguing the agri-food industry such as waste management, food fraud, and the lack of price transparency. So it stands to reason that tech firms, both startups and behemoths, are working towards transforming this age-old industry with innovative blockchain-enabled solutions and business models. With a steady stream of projects being undertaken across food farming, processing, transportation and distribution, this report looks under the hood to find answers to key questions, such as:
• What does the value chain of blockchain enabled solutions supporting the agri-food industry consist?
• How do major blockchain companies fit in the value chain and how they collaborate with each other to meet various blockchain-enabled solutions in agri-food?
• What is the state of blockchain adoption across global regions and various sectors in the industry?
• What has been the outcome of real-world blockchain implementations, including pilot projects?
• How does the startup landscape look like?
• What does the future of blockchain in the agri-food industry look like?

BC and How it Works?
Agri-Food Industry - Adoption
Beyond the basic blockchain concepts, the following developments have aided the adoption of the
technology in the Agri-Food Industry
Smart Contracts
• Beyond the capabilities of the Bitcoin
network, the rise of complete BC networks
has impacted the adoption of BC in various
industries including Agri-Food.
• Smart contracts have opened numerous
possibilities and applications related to XX, XX,
XX, and others that have prioritized inclusive
technology development of the Agri-Food
value chain.
• This is expected to have a positive impact on
farmers, XXXXX, XXXX, XXXXXX, and XXXXX
among others.
dApps
• Ability to embed value added data from
XXXXX, mobile or other sources has been
accelerated by the dApps feature of cutting-
edge BC tech in the Agri-Food Industry.
• dApps provide the structure for the
implementation of BC-based solutions, and
are a boon for various stakeholders from the
Agri-Food industry including farmers, XXXXX
and XXXXX, and those involved with XXXXX
and XXXXX (primary actors) among others.
• dApps have helped accelerated the adoption
of BC technology at each level of the value
chain including growers, XXXXX, XXXXX,
XXXXX, and even XXXXX.
Protocols &
Platforms
• The ability to create innovative business
models that are XXXXX based or otherwise
has led to a higher adoption of the BC
technology especially among the XXXXX
segments of the Agri-Food value chain. This
specifically highlights BC technology’s ability
to address untapped markets such as XXXXX,
farmer financing, etc.
• However, the impact of these on the
organized Agri-Food industry segments is also
commendable and led to process
improvements across the supply chain,
XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, etc. to name a few.

• The company has worked on a pilot project in collaboration with TraSeable Solutions, a Fijian ICT provider adept at BC implementations at the ground level. It has conducted a pilot project for WWF
for track and trace across tuna fish supply chain.
• Application programming interface (API) approach provides customization and integration to legacy ERP systems, which makes it a ready to deploy platform.
• The company plans to price the Viant (variable as per use case) and TraSeable (fixed cost) software platforms on a per month basis and has provided basic cost estimates for stakeholders that plan to
leverage their platform.
• The company has evidently not opted for the ICO route as they have defined specific applications such as in the food supply chain and also identified stakeholders that would invest in the launching
of such products.
• Viant is not specific to any industry and hence its Tracker component can be applied to provide asset tracking solutions in many industries such as healthcare, oil and gas, real estate, etc.
Major Insights
• Viant’s platform uses three main components:
• Modeler – It models a business process, asset attributes, and set permissions
• Smart Builder – It auto-generates the smart contract and user interface at the end application
• Tracker – It is used to track assets along the supply chain and move them at the desired location
• Viant uses RFID technologies to track commodities by its geo-location.
• It uses Proof of Authority (PoA) instead of other consensus mechanisms such as PoW to achieve greater
performance and energy efficiency.
• Viant uses InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to store large data sets which are distributed technology for storing
files like documents and images.
• The company is also exploring fintech in supply chain, and has plans to incorporate technologies like Near Field
Communication(NFC) to gather more data and payments.
