        abstract = {Agricultural supply chains need to establish systems which display their operations because people now demand proof of actual sustainability status. Agricultural product traceability systems in conventional supply chain management fail to deliver dependable methods which verify product quality and origin. This paper presents a blockchain-based traceability system for sustainable agriculture which enables supply chain partners to authenticate their operations through secure data sharing. The system records permanent transaction records which multiple users including farmers and processors and distributors and retailers generate through its private blockchain system which operates on Node.js and JavaScript. The system stores all transactions in a distributed ledger which maintains data accuracy while blocking any unauthorized data alterations. The system uses QR codes to create product histories which consumers can use to verify authenticity through product history access. The system testing results show that the system processes transactions efficiently while maintaining traceability throughout all supply chain operations. The proposed framework provides a cost-effective scalable and secure solution which meets the needs of small and medium-scale agricultural environments while enabling sustainable agricultural practices and building trust with consumers.},
