Project date: 2020/04

At the end of April, 2020 the world's largest producer of vegetables and fruit of Dole Food Company implemented a blockchain for control of deliveries worldwide. The company intends to transfer all the divisions to this technology.

Dole uses a blockchain system of IBM Food Trust which it began to test since 2017. Development reduces the average time necessary for studying of security of foodstuff — from several weeks to read seconds. Products registered  in a blockchain platform can instantly be traced on all supply chain that gives to retailers and consumers confidence in goods quality in case of a revocable campaign, declared in Dole.

By May 9, 2020 Dole continues implementation of the 5-year plan for implementation of a blockchain for increase in security of foodstuff which includes "the advanced solutions for tracking" of tropical fruit and fresh vegetables. Within this strategy the company aims that by 2025 all its divisions used a blockchain for supply control of products.

Dole notes that the distributed data allow to make more flexibly investigations of cases of deliveries of defective products and also provide to consumers the complete information about goods. The company wants that people, having scanned packets with vegetables, could trace their all supply chain — from harvesting on a farm before revenues to counters of shops.

Earlier implemented the similar solution Dole with some products, including with salad, but so far it is about providing data to retailers. Protection mechanisms that other retail networks could not see data of competitors are provided in a blockchain system. Dole intends to extend this blockchain project to all the range. By May, 2020 the company works in 90 countries, including in Russia.[1]
