The firm also works in industries of beauty products, botanical formulations, and food.

IBM Food Trust is one of the leading firms when we talk about food tracking industry. The firm is well-known for using the blockchain technology to solve the issues of firms who want to track their products through their supply chains.

With the solution offered by IBM, the firm wants to track some of its products, beginning with the most selling ones and scaling to achieve even more at the end of this year.

This new tracing process will help the firm to obtain the key information which will be shared with the clients of the firm and the supply partners. This will initially bring more transparency to the firm, which is meant to turn it in positive feedback from clients.

Along with the new collaboration, Organo is going to enhance its services, as said by Leonardo chin, the managing director of the firm.
