Abstract: From the planting base to the consumer’s table, agricultural products must go through multiple links such as planting, processing, transportation, warehousing, and sales. The quality and safety of agricultural products have received extensive attention from all walks of life. Based on the block chain technology, this paper will build a traceability system for the quality and safety of agricultural products, refine the research objects, and design solutions from the aspects of overall structure, role authority, operating process, and functional modules according to the characteristics of planted agricultural products, so as to realize the whole process of agricultural product supply chain tracking, traceability to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products.

Keywords: Blockchain, agricultural supply chain, agricultural product quality and safety, traceability system, food safety
