Juniper Research has conducted a study revealing an enormous reduction of the costs of the shopkeepers in the food sector if the supply chains were managed rationally, particularly in the vigilance vis-à-vis regulations against the prevention of fraud.
The solution is to integrate technology into the Blockchain and the Internet of things (IoT) in the existing system.
With the increasing adoption of the technology of the big registry distributed and the IoT in the food industry, the gains are estimated at nearly $ 31 billion due to the reversal of fraud in the space of 5 years.
Dr. Morgane Kimmich, author of the research, explained :
“Today, the transparency and the efficiency of the food supply chain are limited by opaque data that require each company to rely on intermediaries and other paper documents. The Blockchain and IoT provide a platform immutable and shared, allowing all actors of the supply chain to track and trace assets, saving time and resources, and reduce fraud “.
In addition, the Blockchain reduces costs and risks while increasing the transparency of the supply chain, which streamlines the process in general. The compliance costs could be reduced by 30 % by 2024.
