Abstract: The research proposes a blockchain based traceability system on agricultural products supply chain, where each exchange is rearranged as a block in the chain and is noticeable to the authorized members concerned. The Paper is based on a methodology in which an effective method for recognizing a guaranteed product using blockchain innovation is used; that is, to store information from chemical lab test in sequence and chronological order, so that they are difficult to control a short time later. Here we try to understand how blockchain technology is applied in tea powder production and delivery. The data blocks are permanent as any change to the recorded data, breaks the link. In the general process of converting tea leaves to the tea powder bundles, the traceability framework proposes security, transparency and safety. The need for a traceability system for the food supply chain is unavoidable when irrational chemicals and hazardous synthetic substances are manufactured, adulterated, processed and used. Adulterants are to a great extent added to food products to diminish production costs, sell it at a more significant cost or to attract the purchaser in some other way. To beat these issues, food supply industry needs a transparent system which empowers a purchaser to confirm the structure of each food product from the farm to the retailer.
