The food industry faces significant challenges in supply chain management, including traceability, quality control, and demand forecasting. Despite the potential of blockchain tech- nology to address these issues, its adoption remains limited due to various barriers. This paper delves into the underutilization of blockchain in the food supply chain, exploring its applications and benefits. We present a comprehensive framework for manu- facturers to implement blockchain for enhanced visibility across all supply chain stages. Additionally, we incorporate technical el- ements such as data models, algorithms, pseudocode, and product lifecycle analysis. By starting with simple implementations and setting up a scalable future-ready infrastructure, stakeholders can foster widespread adoption and unlock the full potential of data analytics in supply chain management.
