In addition, this use case can be used as a reference for other regional premium agricultural products such as Yangcheng-Lake crab and Wuchang rice.”

The representative from the Department of Commerce of Yunnan Province, Mr. Lu Xiutian also offered a speech, urging that great significance should be attached to the blockchain-based tea traceability platform which he believes would foster transparency and boost the reputation of Yunnan tea.

“Yunnan Province has been devoted in building a coordinating food traceability system. Therefore, we should attach great significance to this tea traceability platform, sparing no efforts to ensure every tea brick has a traceable origin, verified proper distribution and logistics, and authentic qualification, which can certainly raise the reputation of Yunnan tea globally.”

VeChain Blazing the Trail
