Application of traceability system for teak Identity based on blockchain
Abstract:
The Southern regions of India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos (the area next to Thailands North Region), and Indonesia are where teak originated. Teak is a high-value wood that used to be an export good for Thailand, bringing in a lot of money. Later, teak wood from Thailands natural forests was less plentiful and more expensive. Teak logs were recently priced between 25,000 and 50,000 baht per m3, and prices have been rising yearly. Due to its high value, there is also a chance that smuggled wood from within the country or wood that has been illegally obtained abroad will enter the supply chain. Encroachment and illegal logging are still major problems in Thailand. A significant issue is the smuggling of illegally harvested wood, especially expensive wood like teak. Blockchain technology has become extremely popular due to its distinctive immutability and traceability properties, which have the opportunity to overcome a variety of issues. In order to get rid of illegal teak timber and achieve traceable, transparent, and reliable teak data that is moved through the teak supply chain, we present a decentralized application (DApp) based on the Ethereum blockchain that implements a traceability system for teak identity. According to the findings of the experiment, our DApp successfully balances the gas costs associated with storing data on the Ethereum blockchain with ensuring traceability, reducing unauthorized logging, and boosting user confidence.
