        abstract = {A paradigm change has been triggered by the use of  technology to agriculture, with smart contracts emerging as a game-changing instrument. Through the development of  systems, this article examines how it is based on smart contracts might improve transparency, alleviate inefficiencies in agricultural trade, and empower farmers. It explores real world applications, obstacles, and potential future developments, demonstrating how this technology has the ability to transform the agricultural environment. With smart contracts showing promise as a potent instrument to combat inefficiencies, advance openness, and strengthen farmers' positions. Block-chain based smart contracts are transforming agricultural trade by removing middlemen, guaranteeing trustless networks, and giving farmers direct access to markets, as this study explores. The technology has the ability to completely transform the agricultural environment, as this paper demonstrates by examining real world applications, obstacles, and prospective future developments.},
