Blockchain produce packaging is a key trend that is gaining popularity in the produce packaging market. Blockchain is a way to store data that makes system updates, hacks, and fraud very hard or impossible. Blockchain makes it possible for customers and businesses to track products back to their place of origin.

It’s as easy as putting a QR code on a package to get information quickly. This smart feature has increased transparency and quality assurance for customers, which is why many companies have already adopted blockchain for the same reason.

Nestlé, a Swiss food company, put a QR code on each package of the Swedish coffee brand Zogas in 2020. Consumers have access to information about coffee farmers, harvest times, roasting times, and shipping certificates that go back to where the coffee was grown. IBM FoodTrust’s blockchain technology platform is used to do these things. This package’s new idea is likely to appeal to coffee drinkers who care about doing the right thing and who value sustainability.
