Agricom International | Consumer Packaged Goods | 20 | $3M | Canada | IBM | IBM Food Trust | Supply Chain Management | 2018 | n/a |
In 2018, Agricom International implemented IBM Food Trust to provide verifiable provenance for its fruit products, including apples, avocados, oranges and lemons. Agricom International implemented IBM Food Trust in 2018 to strengthen Supply Chain Management for production and distribution traceability across its operations in Chile.
The deployment focused on ledger-based provenance and traceability capabilities typical of Supply Chain Management platforms, including lot level trace records, timestamped events, and serialized product identification to map chain of custody from harvest through packing. Configuration work emphasized capture of production and processing events at the plant level and retention of quality and certification records alongside transaction history.
Operational coverage targeted Agricom s six plants in Chile and the distribution chain that delivers fruit to final buyers, with the IBM Food Trust implementation supporting consumer-facing provenance queries and supply chain visibility for quality assurance and sustainability teams. The implementation centered on production, distribution, and quality assurance business functions, aligning trace data with procurement and packing workflows to reduce loss in the production and distribution chain.
Governance work addressed process changes for supplier onboarding, standardized event capture at packing and shipping checkpoints, and procedures for exposing provenance information to consumers and downstream partners. The stated motivations for the IBM Food Trust deployment were to provide transparency and confidence to final buyers and to reduce food loss and environmental cost while supporting better pricing for consumers.

Albertsons Companies | Retail | 108300 | $80.4B | United States | IBM | IBM Food Trust | Supply Chain Management | 2018 | n/a |
In 2018, Albertsons Companies joined the IBM Food Trust blockchain network and began piloting IBM Food Trust as part of its Supply Chain Management initiatives. The program launched as a pilot to trace bulk romaine lettuce from farm to store shelf, starting at one distribution center and with plans to explore expansion to other food categories across Albertsons Companies’ distribution network and retail footprint of nearly 2,300 stores.
The implementation leveraged IBM Food Trust’s immutable provenance ledger and transaction-level record capabilities to capture supply chain events such as packaging date, temperature conditions in transit, and arrival at distribution and store locations. IBM Food Trust was used to create a digital record of each interaction in the product lifecycle to support faster traceback workflows for high-risk items and to provide provenance data for quality assurance, food safety, and authentication use cases.
Operationally the pilot focused on integration with upstream growers and downstream distribution center processes, aligned with the Food Trust network practice of onboarding supply chain partners to create a complete lifecycle view. Albertsons Companies positioned the IBM Food Trust rollout to bridge farm, packer, distributor, and store systems within the broader network, enabling cross-enterprise visibility across procurement, food safety and quality assurance, and distribution functions.
Governance and ecosystem participation were central to the implementation, Albertsons Companies joining the Food Trust governance model that was initially shaped by other major retailers. Reported objectives included improving traceback speed for CDC and FDA advisories, enhancing consumer trust through provenance data shared by network members, and reducing the operational impact of recalls by using IBM Food Trust’s transacting ecosystem to surface authoritative traceability information.

Avril Group | Consumer Packaged Goods | 8404 | $8.5B | France | IBM | IBM Food Trust | Supply Chain Management | 2020 | n/a |
In 2020, Avril Group joined IBM Food Trust to instrument provenance and consumer transparency for its Matines egg ranges, a deployment designed to enhance traceability across 25 product references. The initiative builds on a program started in 2019 to reposition Matines around defined commitments such as hens raised without antibiotic treatment, feed sourced from French cereals, and independently controlled good farming practices.
The implementation of IBM Food Trust uses blockchain ledger capabilities to capture immutable records at each step of the egg supply chain, supporting serialization and provenance workflows consistent with Supply Chain Management solutions. Recorded data fields surfaced through a consumer facing application include farming method, hen feed information, good farming practice attestations, date of egg laying, packing center identifier, date of receipt, packaging date, and dispatch dates to distributor warehouses, and a Questions section provides extended content on farming methods and nutritional information.
Deployment runs on IBM Cloud and the IBM Food Trust network, with data inputs originating from the field level through more than 1000 farms including approximately 400 laying hen farms, packing centers, and distribution warehouse touchpoints. Operational scope encompasses product quality, supply chain operations, marketing for consumer engagement, and corporate social responsibility governance, and it supports conversion efforts for farms moving to soil, outdoor, or organic production modes.
Governance is anchored to Avril Group commitments and independent control of farming practices, enabling Matines to provide a QR code on egg boxes that links consumers to traceability data and a personalized experience. The rollout emphasizes transparency and consumer information rather than quantitative performance claims, aligning traceability instrumentation with the companys CSR objectives and quality livestock standards.

BrightFarms | Consumer Packaged Goods | 250 | $50M | United States | IBM | IBM Food Trust | Supply Chain Management | 2019 | n/a |
In 2019, BrightFarms implemented IBM Food Trust as part of a Walmart mandate to add blockchain based traceability to its produce supply chain. The deployment targets Supply Chain Management functions for food safety, traceability and inventory visibility across greenhouse to retailer flows. BrightFarms operates greenhouse farms sited near metropolitan areas that grow, harvest, pack, and ship greens in as little as 24 hours of harvest, making the implementation focused on local distribution nodes.
The IBM Food Trust implementation uses IBM Blockchain on IBM Cloud to encrypt and timestamp data uploaded at every production stage, and BrightFarms uses the platform Trace module to record events from seed planting through packing and delivery. BrightFarms also plans to leverage the IBM Food Trust Fresh Insights module to surface crop yield and freshness indicators for procurement and inventory decision making. The solution captures operational KPIs and shelf level attributes when retailers append time on shelf and temperature data to the shared ledger.
Integrations are operationally focused on data exchange with retail partners including Walmart, where the mandate originated, and internal procurement and food safety workflows. BrightFarms uploads production and trace events into IBM Food Trust and retailers continue the chain of custody by adding store level conditions and inventory status. The architecture therefore spans greenhouse production systems, cloud ledger services, and retailer store environment inputs to maintain an auditable record of each lot.
Governance and process changes included a Walmart driven rollout and operationalizing food safety team workflows so that food safety managers can query the ledger for precise traceability. With IBM Food Trust BrightFarms reports the ability to trace products within seconds, which supports targeted recalls and reduces unnecessary waste. The implementation provides enhanced transparency and trackability that BrightFarms uses to inform procurement, inventory management, and crop selection decisions.

Carrefour | Retail | 234750 | $101.2B | France | IBM | IBM Food Trust | Supply Chain Management | 2018 | n/a |
In 2018, Carrefour implemented IBM Food Trust, deploying blockchain-based traceability within its Supply Chain Management environment. The initial rollout focused on fresh produce, specifically chickens, eggs and tomatoes, with Carrefour committing to widen the IBM Food Trust deployment to cover 300 fresh products globally by 2022.
IBM Food Trust was configured to provide product provenance and track-and-trace capabilities that record how items are grown, processed and shipped, enabling rapid queries across the chain. The implementation used a distributed ledger architecture, a shared record maintained across a network rather than a central database, to reduce provenance checks from days or weeks to seconds according to IBM, and to surface the ‘‘story’’ of products from farm to store.
The deployment positioned Carrefour within an ecosystem of retailers, logistics firms and growers working with IBM, and involved data contributions from other participating companies cited in the project. IBM Food Trust availability worldwide and published pricing for full access of approximately $212,000 per year framed the commercial model for enterprise participation in the shared Supply Chain Management environment.
Governance and operational change emphasized crisis traceability and consumer trust, as Carrefour leadership highlighted the ability to trace products during food-safety incidents. Adoption risks called out in the public reporting included the difficulty of onboarding growers and farms with varying levels of technological sophistication, a known constraint for broad supply chain enrollment.
