        abstract = {The burning questions which have struck the farm supply chains are data manipulation, inability to possess transparency and inability to guarantee the authenticity of the products between the farm and the customer. It is likely that the traditional centralized systems are traceable, the stakeholders in the system will experience mistrust and problems with the data alteration. In order to eliminate these challenges, this project will suggest an agricultural trace system that is built on blockchain technology that will ensure safety, transparency, and inexpressibility of the data processing. The farmers, the distributors, retailers and consumers can access the system in a web based interface that enables them to access and verify the agricultural batch information in all the levels of the supply chains. The entire history of the products is made available through the assistance of the QR codes. Smart contracts also make the storage of cryptographic hah values more efficient and less storage overhead is incurred because the storage is stored in the blockchain. The off-chain data is operated through the assistance of a cloud database, to become more scalable. The given system will simplify the processes and time to check them compared to the current centralized methods and enhance the degree of trust, the data integrity, and traceability. The given solution challenges the realisticness and effectiveness of the introduction of the blockchain technology as the instrument of the supply chain of the agricultural products functioning in the secure environment.},
