Opportunities in the Blockchain in Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Market

The global blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain market is estimated to be valued at USD 60.8 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 429.7 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 47.8% during the forecast period. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about one-third of the food produced globally is wasted every year, which amounts to about USD 680.0 billion in industrialized countries and about USD 310.0 billion in developing nations. In developing nations, about 40.0% of the losses occur at the processing stage. It was estimated that even if one-fourth of the total wasted and lost food is saved, it would be sufficient to feed 870.0 million people around the globe.

This has enabled many organizations to incorporate blockchain technology to track the amount of food supply, which has driven the market for blockchain in agriculture and food supply chain. In addition, the growing cases of food wastage, rising cases of food fraud, and growing consumer needs for supply chain transparency have been the other major drivers of this market. Countries such as China, India, Singapore, South Africa, and UAE are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the blockchain technology providers in the agriculture and food supply chain market of these countries.
