Here’s a peek at Wal-Mart’s game-changing plan to trace food from China’s farms to store shelves
Walmart launched the food quality collaboration a year ago, promising to invest US$25 million by 2020 to encourage technological innovation in Chinese food safety.
Wal-Mart is using blockchain technology co-developed by tech giant IBM. In May, it successfully validated the use of the technology by being able to successfully trace pork products from one farm owned by Chinese meat producer Jinluo, to a Walmart distribution centre in the capital, Beijing. It has also run similar pilots in the US to trace mango from plant to store shelf.
