Disrupting Agro-industry Supply Chain in Indonesia With Blockchain Technology: Current and Future Challenges

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the problems of agro-industrial supply chains in Indonesia. This becomes important because Indonesia has a very diverse agro-industrial. Starting from the agro-agricultural industry, agro-plantation industry, agro-livestock industry to the agro-fishing industry. The problem that is often encountered in agro-industrial supply chains in Indonesia is the length of the supply chain which involves many intermediaries, communication of data and information that is still lacking, to the lack of quality assurance and product safety. Blockchain technology has characteristics that can disrupt the agro-industry supply chain. Its ability to store data and information makes transactions made through blockchain technology more transparent, reliable, and more secure. The research methods used include identifying agro-industry supply chain problems, identifying potential blockchain, mapping problems into their potential solutions, and providing a recommendation model. At the end of the conclusion of this study, a recommendation was made to apply blockchain technology to overcome the agro-industry supply chain problems in Indonesia today and in the future.
