Blockchain Pilot for Coffee Supply Chain Traceability
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your task is to propose a blockchain pilot project for one coffee origin (choose Colombia). Define the data to be captured at each supply chain node (farm, mill, exporter, roaster), select a blockchain platform (e.g., Hyperledger, Ethereum, or a SaaS solution), and estimate costs (development, integration, training) vs. benefits (price premium, customer loyalty, risk reduction). Deliver a pilot plan with a timeline, key performance indicators, and a go/no-go decision framework. Success means convincing the founder that the pilot is viable and aligned with the company's values.
