Blockchain Integration for Enhanced Traceability in Fijian Sugarcane Supply Chains
This research looks into the blockchain technology which may change the entire traceability of Fiji's most important supply chain in sugarcane. The Fijian sugarcane industry that is at the crossroads of several problems such as transparency, quality assurance and sustainability must come up with creative solutions now. Blockchain provides a decentralized ledger for documenting transactions and monitoring items across the supply chain. Using a case study methodology, this paper investigates blockchain adoption in Fijian sugarcane supply chains, concentrating on the influence on traceability, quality control, and stakeholder participation. The findings indicate that blockchain integration improves product information authenticity, lowers fraud, and boosts market access for Fijian sugarcane goods. Despite achievements, difficulties such as technological complexity and regulatory compliance remain. The study suggests increasing blockchain integration, building industry standards, and promoting policy frameworks. Future studies should look at larger agricultural supply chain concerns and encourage sustainable development in Fiji. In conclusion, this research is a significant contributor to both the academic and industry worlds, presenting deep insights into the potential of blockchain to change the traceability and transparency of global supply chains, with Fiji's sugarcane industry being a compelling case.
