Blockchain technology allows to facilitate the inspection and registration system by integrating vegetables and fruits into the supply chain management process without the need for an intermediary. It also provides product tracking traceability and transparency of content information throughout the process from the producer to the user. In addition, the verification process provided by blockchain technology aims to add value to the current market by balancing market prices, while increasing the reliability of agricultural foods.

However, the nature of the
blockchain enables each player in
the food value chain to create and
securely share data points to create
a reliable and traceable system.
Blockchain use cases in food go
beyond ensuring food safety.
The implementation of blockchain
for trading could also revolutionize
hedging. Blockchain enables
verified transactions to be shared
securely with every firm in the food
supply chain, creating a
marketplace with tremendous
transparency.

uality seeds create the desired productivity in plant
production. However, a potato seed with a high productivity potential
may not reach the desired point even if the environmental conditions are
suitable. At this point, plant breeding methods and modern technologies
in seed production are of great importance. The main factor
determining the yield of the potato plant is the quality of the seed taken.
The following factors determine the quality of the source;
Variety: The manufacturer should
decide on the product in advance.
Health Status of the Seed: Care
should be taken to ensure that
the product used as a seed is free
from diseases. For example, such
as potato nematode, potato wart,
brown rot, and ring rot diseases.
Physiological Age of Seed: Physi-
ological age of potato seeds can
be even more important than the
health of the source in some
grains.

For this reason, governments must integrate their production of these
technologies into this system to increase domestic seed potato pro-
duction. In this respect, many companies have started to invest in
high–level potato seed production in recent years.
However, it cannot be said that these investments are at a sufficient
level. For this reason, it is of great importance to expand the use of
high–level seed production technologies to increase seed potato pro-

5. What advantage can blockchain provide at this point?

Lorem ipsum
1. More trust can be established in global food manufacturers and
suppliers.
2. Removing some middlemen with blockchain can lower their selling
prices to consumers.
3. Consumers can quickly learn how a food product is grown and
what type of soil and fertilizer is preferred for crops.
4. Global food manufacturers and suppliers can be given greater con-
fidence as counterfeit certificates, and labeling can be eliminated.
5. It can learn with absolute accuracy what types of changes are
made to food products by food processors, how these businesses are
certified, and all the stops in the supply chain.

6. ere, with the many convenience and trust environment, it will
provide, trust will be established between the producer and the con-
sumer in this field, the income–expenditure balance will be equalized,
the risks will be reduced, the financial difficulties will be alleviated, a
quality and efficient production will be ensured, the rate of receiving
positive feedback from the consumers will increase, thanks to trace-
ability from start to finish. Communication speed will increase in pro-
duction.
In short, it seems that with blockchain technology, which will
make a difference in this field and every sector, traceability in seed
potato production will go a long way and will continue to contribute to
the growth rate with new developments.
