Blockchain set to power Asia's farmers

Transparent supply chains build trust, as well as profits

Blockchain will enable consumers to track who is involved in the cup of coffee they drink in Indonesia's Blue Korintji Coffee shop.

TOKYO -- After scanning a barcode at Indonesian coffee chain Blue Korintji Coffee, paying customers can identify the farmer who grew their coffee, the company that roasted the beans and even the logistics involved.

Powered by blockchain, modern technology's answer to establishing trust among an otherwise unconnected group, the initiative is the brainchild of Singapore startup Emurgo which has partnered with Blue Korintji to create a premium product that ultimately boosts returns to farmers.
