Abstract

A blockchain is an immutable, highly secure and reliable shared network that provides each participant with end-to-end visibility based on their permission level. This article aims to analyze a solution for the supply chains of agricultural inputs in a case study in Cuba, applying blockchain technology. After describing the main concepts of blockchain technology, its fundamental advantages are analyzed, such as integrity, security and decentralization, to be applied in supply chains. With a view to raising the problem of the traceability flow of products in the agricultural sector, interviews were conducted with a tobacco logistics company in Cuba. As an approach to solve the problems detected regarding traceability and the need to increase confidence in the integrity of the product throughout the chain, a proof of concept is developed on the public Ethereum platform applied to the supply chain model of a specialized tobacco logistics and technical services company.
