A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY: BLOCKCHAIN-BASED VS. TRADITIONAL MODELS IN AGRI-FOOD SECTOR

Abstract

The food value chain in agriculture has great significance with the supply of nutritious, accessible, healthy, and appropriate produce, feed, fiber, and fuel. The food supply chain system is a field of considerable significance as it provides customers with inexpensive, nutritious, and adequate bread and butter. The use of modern techniques are essential to ensure the smooth operations of these value chains. This study has presented comparative analysis between traditional and blockchain-based food supply chain system. Positivist philosophy has been used in this research because the sample population of research has been set the inclusion criteria as published findings obtained from SCI journals and books from credible research about blockchain-based food supply chain and other systems rather than blockchain. Data has been gathered by using the secondary data collection technique. The deductive nature of research has been used the grounded theory analysis to analyze the collected data in systematic methodology. And apply descriptive statistical and inferential statistical analysis (independent sample t-test) with the help of SPSS v 26. Due to the good performance and features of Traceability, credibility, integrity, and sustainability a blockchain-based food supply chain is most efficient than a traditional system. Results have monitored that a blockchain-based system has been used to fulfill the modern need of the supply chain in the future.
