How Can Blockchain Technology Help Helpless
Farmers
In recent years, the agricultural sector has revolutionized tremendously, but it still 
faces several handles. For a long time, the supply chain has been met with a non-
transparent, inefficient, and non-communicating network made up of systems, 
data, actors, and goods. Disconnection and lack of transparency complicate 
problems of fair pricing and product consistency.

The requirement for data integration has developed from regulatory stresses, 
controversies, and food crises. A blockchain platform can play an essential role 
in the knowledge of the supply chain for technology that allows easy traceability of 
product information.

Identifying The Problem
Blockchain Professionals suggest that 50 percent of crop value vanishes 
between harvest and point of sale. Root cause: Middlemen.
But how can we get rid of the middleman? When this happens, how can the 
farmer be part of the economy? One may consider using PayPal, credit card. Yet 
all of these methods include a high fee and a sticky red tape that farmers do not 
have to contend with.

The solution, therefore, is the heavenly technology of blockchain. Blockchain 
establishes a direct association between farmers and retailers and consumers. 
Blockchain technology empowers small farmers to come together and organize 
themselves to enter the market without intermediaries.

This happens by adapting the means of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Through 
means of cryptocurrencies, farmers are incorporated into the global economy 
because there is no organization in the center of the producer and the consumer.

Blockchain Solution
A blockchain is a database accommodating transaction details, information, and 
records called blocks. These blocks clasp incorruptible trust, i.e., the block’s data 
can’t be changed even if God wanted to. Inexact words, the data is permanent. 
You can place something that holds value on the blockchain. Eg. Gold, land, etc.

·  Blockchain can be used to track crops, produce higher quality goods, and 
provide better information to producers, food distributors, and restaurants.
·   In addition to costs, blockchain may help to keep track of other food-related 
data, such as origin, the temperature at which it is stored, how it is transported, 
etc.
So along with the cost, other factors are also beautifully catered to the blockchain.

Benefit Of Blockchain
· Reduced Human Error
Digital technology reduces financial and physical losses due to human 
carelessness and dereliction. The workforce can be minimized when services are 
automatic, thereby reducing waste and misuse of resources. Blockchain helps 
farmers mitigate potential losses by using available data on the type of crop and 
possible diseases to strike the crop.

· Traceability Of Food
Blockchain technology, you can automatically trace the apple to the grower. The 
supply chain with blockchain becomes more open.

· Reduced Payments And Fair Rates
Blockchain provides an open platform for both suppliers and purchasers to 
negotiate reasonable prices for their goods. Suppliers may allow direct mobile 
payment transactions with buyers.

· Improved Access To Financial Grants And Loans
Blockchain technology makes it possible for farmers in developed countries to 
have access to financial aid because many farmers in these countries can not 
afford the money to modernize their agriculture. Mobile banking can upkeep traces 
of the Ledger account for convenient access to finance.

· Used In Protection For Crops
Farmers have been faced with volatile environmental conditions since the advent 
of agriculture. It has been a challenging task for farmers to seek damages as most 
farmers in developed countries do not keep records of their actions. However, with 
the implementation of this technology verification, it is simple, first, and foremost.

Blockchain technology is likely to solve the problems of the agricultural and food 
industries enormously. Farmers in the developing world have always been 
fascinated by technology that provides real value and makes sense. Present-day 
agriculture can be strengthened if blockchain technology is impressed. If you have
