Last week the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) revealed Manbulloo, one of Australia’s largest mango producers, to be the latest producer to realize the benefits of a blockchain-based food traceability platform. The platform was developed as part of the 2.5 year-long Smart Supply Chain pilot project, co-funded by CRCNA, food-traceability blockchain firm Trust Provenance, Manbulloo, and horticulture firm Growcom. The total value of the project came to around 1.16 million AUD (over $827,000).

Manbulloo identified the platform’s critical features during the trial co-designed by the mango producer and Trust Provenance. The trial allowed for real-time data points such as location, temperature, and time to be instantly tracked, traced, and uploaded onto the blockchain. The blockchain was accessible to Manbullo and other actors of the supply chain through a dashboard interface.

The result was a cost-reducing, real-time, secure, end-to-end food traceability solution.
