About

Fruits Blockchain

There is growing worldwide demand for transparency. More than 70% of today’s consumers want to understand the production footprint of products they buy. We believe this is where businesses can differentiate themselves.

At Fruits Blockchain (Powered by Promenant), our mission is to create a transparent and efficient value chain – from producer to customer – using blockchain technology. We aim to help buyers track produce from farm to fork and reduce counterfeiting. Consumers will be able to select and purchase Blockchain certified fruits and enjoy fresh authentic produce with their loved ones.

Our journey starts with the king of mangoes – the Alphonso. India is one of the world’s top mango producers and is responsible for approximately 41% of total global output. The Alphonso mango, grown in the Konkan region of Maharashtra is a consumer favourite because of its unparalleled taste and texture. However, due to its popularity, ‘fake’ versions of the Alphonso have cropped up and have frequently been sold to consumers across the globe. For this reason, Alphonso growers from Maharashtra have filed lawsuits against those trying to pass off mangoes from other regions of the country as fruits of the same variety. We are aiming to address these concerns for both consumers and producers, using blockchain technology.

Enabling the traceability of Alphonso mangoes is just the beginning and we have a defined roadmap to include more exotic fruits onto our application thereby expanding our ecosystem. We seek to empower the end-consumer with verifiable data regarding the authenticity of the fruit they have purchased thereby improving their confidence and shopping experience.

Fruits Blockchain Provenance

Blockchain empowers transparency, making the food supply chain more robust, such that the industry can cope up with food safety issues. Large organizations such as Unilever and Nestle have started employing blockchain technology to trace the origins of products because data collected in a blockchain isn’t vulnerable to hacking, bugs, errors, and inaccuracies. Blockchains also help identify cases of attempted counterfeit within a supply chain.

Blockchain technology’s biggest advantages are that it will help farmers guarantee higher value and sell better directly to consumers. According to Forbes, blockchain can ‘Uberize’ the agri-food industry by reducing transaction fees and intermediaries. Furthermore, it will help prevent price coercion such that the food producers can reap significant economic benefits.
