    A blockchain-based framework to make sugarcane crop in agricultural supply chain transparent and reliable
    (UMT Lahore, 2022) Muhammad Asad Khan
    Sugarcane crop is used for making several ecofriendly and food products making it one of most importantbcrop in world. Sugarcane crop contributes in 60% sugar production of world. The malpractice in supply chain effects farmers’ motivation with low profits even after putting a lot of efforts in cultivation and governments bear economic losses by paying extra money to import sugar from other countries. Sugarcane supply chain processes are not transparent due to which it is difficult for authorities to keep track of malpractices and illegal exports. This paper proposed a blockchain-based framework for sugarcane supply chain traceability and reliability. A new token Sugar Coin (SC) has been introduced to keep track of transactions between supply chain entities. Furthermore, our proposed framework also covers crypto wallets, economic model and Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of SugarCoin. Additionally, a complete transaction processing system have been proposed using smart contracts for traceability of sugarcane trading and conversion of SC to fiat and vice versa. The Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) have been introduced for storing encrypted private data of farmers, companies and retailers to enhance availability, security and transparency. Finally, experiment results depict that proposed framework approximately performs better than already existing supply chain projects in terms of new blocks latency, transaction per minute, transactions average gas fee and times for transaction verifications.
