Nestle blockchain expands to cover Zoegas coffee brand
Zoegas coffee brand is Nestle’s premium product in Sweden offering roast and ground and whole beans coffee. The latest ‘Summer 2020’ range features a premium Arabica coffee beans blend that comes from Colombia, Rwanda, and Brazil. The Nestle blockchain solution will work to ensure that the journey of coffee beans is tracked and authenticated accurately. To achieve this goal, the brand has joined hands with ‘The Rainforest Alliance.’

As per the official report, the functionality of the chain platform is meant to enhance the blockchain-based supply chain traceability. The end-consumers can simply scan a barcode to get full information about the coffee beans journey beginning from the plantations to the Zoegas factories and finally at the packing and distribution locations. Users can also get information pertaining to farmers, harvesting period, roasting period, and much more.
