Dole Foods

Basics

• Based in North Carolina
• From Forbes Blockchain 50 (19-2-2020):

"After several high-profile recalls last decade, Dole has adopted blockchain across all vegetable processing, for millions of pounds of lettuce, spinach and coleslaw. Customers at Walmart can now check where their fruit comes from by scanning a code used by farmers. Dole’s fruit business is next. Dole’s new level of traceability starts on the farm and ends at the grocery aisle. Current transaction volumes through partner IBM Food Trust are about 11,300 transactions a day, or 2.3 million a year."
