The state of Andhra Pradesh in India has disclosed its plans to implement blockchain technology to address aquaculture related issues.

In regards to this, the Fisheries Department and the Marine Products Export Development Authority are looking forward to launching a pilot project that will track the supply chain of shrimp cultivation. The project will leverage blockchain to record the entire supply chain in encrypted form to monitor quality standards.

Moreover, a Memorandum of Understanding is expected to be signed by the duo with Tata Trusts which partnered with Algorythmix to develop a platform for the pilot project.

It has been reported that the project will initially be launched in Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari of the state; and gradually extended to other districts.
