Abstract

The Southern regions of India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia are where teak originated. Teak is a high-value wood that used to be an export good for Thailand, bringing in a lot of money. Thailand produced approximately 71,954.53 m3 of teak plantation timber and exported wood products worth 1.1 billion baht overseas in 2018, according to the Forest Industry Organization (FIO). Due to its high demand, there is also a chance that smuggled wood from within the country or wood that has been illegally obtained abroad will enter the supply chain. Encroachment and illegal logging are still major problems in Thailand. Blockchain technology has become extremely popular due to its distinctive immutability and traceability properties, which have the opportunity to overcome a variety of issues. In order to get rid of illegal teak timber and achieve traceable, transparent, and reliable teak data that is moved through the teak supply chain, we present a decentralized application (DApp) based on the Ethereum blockchain that implements a traceability system for teak identity. According to the findings of the experiment, our DApp achieves a good trade-off between the system’s gas cost of 116K (2.53 USD) to store data in the Ethereum blockchain and provide high security, transparency, privacy, resilience, and robustness. We observed that the newly proposed blockchain-based system can reduce illegal logging, the usage of paper-based documentation, and the time needed to validate the documentation in teak supply chain controls when we compared it to the traditional process used in the supply chain.
基于区块链的柚木身份溯源:转型方法
印度、缅甸、泰国、老挝和印度尼西亚南部地区是柚木的原产地。柚木是一种高价值木材,曾经是泰国的出口商品,为泰国带来了大量收入。据泰国森林工业组织(FIO)统计,2018 年泰国生产了约 71954.53 立方米的柚木人工林木材,向海外出口了价值 11 亿泰铢的木制品。由于需求量大,国内走私木材或在国外非法获取的木材也有可能进入供应链。侵占和非法砍伐仍然是泰国的主要问题。区块链技术因其独特的不可更改性和可追溯性而备受青睐,有机会克服各种问题。为了杜绝非法柚木,实现柚木供应链中可追溯、透明、可靠的柚木数据,我们提出了一个基于以太坊区块链的去中心化应用程序(DApp),该应用程序实现了柚木身份追溯系统。根据实验结果,我们的 DApp 在将数据存储到以太坊区块链的系统气体成本 116K (2.53 美元)与提供高安全性、透明度、隐私性、弹性和稳健性之间实现了良好的权衡。我们观察到,与供应链中使用的传统流程相比,新提出的基于区块链的系统可以减少柚木供应链控制中的非法采伐、纸质文件的使用以及验证文件所需的时间。
