JD.com to track beef imports using blockchain platform Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com has announced that it will roll out a blockchain platform to track imports of beef products from overseas meat suppliers according to an announcement Friday with e-commerce platform said it had partnered with Australia's inter agree to import the firm's Angus beef products to Chinese consumers making the production process traceable on a blockchain
The system, JD.com says, will record a range of information including where the livestock was bred and raised where the meat was processed and how it was transported while not disclosing the exact employment timeline the company said the system will be implemented later this spring chen zhang CTO of JD.com said we are increasingly implementing blockchain enabled traceability solutions consumers in China just don't want to rely on imported products they want to know that they can trust how and where their food is sourced and blockchain helps us deliver this peace of mind hey you guys are you guys feeling a tinge of irony here guys consumers in China
I know this is I know this isn't over reaching you know assumption of sorts or but consumers in China they want to know they can trust how their food is delivered as it mean like the plastic rice you've I'm right about that guys I find a little bit of irony in there guys the adoption of blockchain technology comes as a part of an ongoing effort by JD.com to improve confidence among domestic consumers over the quality of products imported through e-commerce platforms in China as previously reported by coined JD.com helped form the blockchain food safety alliance together retail giant wal-mart IBM n at Tsinghua University effort seeks to pilot blockchain technologies in bringing greater levels of transparency to the countries and food supply chain
Well maybe we should have some other countries and some other companies check out and blockchain in terms of the stuff that's getting exported from China maybe we should have it both ways guys not just China putting blockchain in place before that beef imports from Australia but maybe we should have it the other way around it sounds like a good idea I mean now once again guys these types of articles are not sexy but it's important to remember that blockchain is invading it's getting into every industry possible guys even the beef industry why not why not guys black jeans gonna be around forever guys Bitcoin too the question is how much are you holding let me know your thoughts in the comment section below and smash the like button before we have the beat I need to go get some lunch guys I need to go eat some meat
