Conceptual Blockchain Model for Honey Supply Chain System

Abstract

Increased global demand for honey has encouraged fraud. In order to better monitor the honey supply chain and prevent frauds, in this paper is created a traceability scheme for honey processing and trade in Serbia, based on which a conceptual blockchain model for the honey supply chain system was proposed. This research can contribute to the improvement of the electronic record system designed to ensure the traceability of honey through the proposed blockchainbased conceptual model. The concept covers the monitoring of honey through the stages of production, processing and distribution in order to improve the implementation of good production and processing practices through smart monitoring. Through information and relevant images provided by beekeepers, consumers receive additional information about the origin of honey, which is of great importance for today's consumers.
