The Yunnan province in China has rolled out a blockchain platform to track its tea products across the supply chain. By scanning a bar code, users can find out the quality of their tea, its authenticity, production process and more.
Yunnan announced the new platform during the Phoenix Nest Ancient Tree Spring Tea New Product Launch Conference. According to Chinanews, the platform will track tea products for the province's Pu'er region, which is known for its high-quality tea. Some branded Pu'er Tea goes for as much as $3,500 per kilogram. Its tea industry has an output volume of 84.3 billion yuan ($11.8 billion) in 2018, Xinhuanet reports.
