FORMATION OF A MECHANISM FOR INTEGRATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES IN THE AGRIBUSINESS SYSTEM
Abstract
The article explores the theoretical and methodological principles of integrating the organizational and economic potential of Blockchain technologies into the agribusiness system in the context of increasing demands for transparency and sustainability of value chains. The essence of Blockchain is revealed as a tool for forming a trusted information infrastructure that ensures data immutability, transaction automation and business process optimization based on smart contracts. It is substantiated that the use of distributed ledger technologies contributes to the decentralization of management, reduction of transaction costs, digitalization of product quality control and increase of the export potential of agricultural enterprises. Scientific approaches to the development of Blockchain solutions for agri-food supply chains are analyzed. A mechanism for integrating Blockchain into centralized and decentralized agribusiness platforms is proposed, which involves the development of digital competencies, the creation of support infrastructures and indicators for assessing the readiness of enterprises to implement distributed ledger technologies.
