India-based egg producer Ovo Farm has introduced blockchain technology to boost the traceability of eggs at every stage of its supply chain.
The new technology utilises QR codes, which can be scanned by customers to track their eggs from the farm stage to the end consumer stage in the supply chain.
This QR code is provided on each egg that is offered by OVO Farm under its flagship brand ‘Kenko’.
OVO Farm co-founder and director Samarendra Mishra said: “Through our blockchain technology we want to ensure quality and make sure that right products are reaching to our customers.
“Each of our products has a unique scan code on its label which gives information about the journey of the product right from the producing unit till it reaches customers.
“We at OVO Farm are committed to our mission of producing and catering fresh, hygienic and nutritious eggs for a healthy community.”
