Blockchain-based organic food certification, like Foodtrax, enhances traceability but raises concerns about cost transfer. Implementation involves expenses for blockchain infrastructure, IoT integration, and smart contract development, often borne by farmers and suppliers. These costs can be passed to consumers, increasing organic food prices. Small-scale producers may face higher burdens, as they lack economies of scale, potentially widening market inequities. However, blockchain reduces fraud and certification costs long-term, benefiting stakeholders. Transparent pricing and subsidies could mitigate cost transfer to consumers, ensuring affordability. Collaborative models, where costs are shared across the supply chain, can balance financial loads. Ultimately, while blockchain improves trust and efficiency, strategic cost management is crucial to maintain accessibility for organic food markets. 0 reply
