Hashgraph, Merck, and PwC Develop Integrated Cocoa Traceability Solution

The Hashgraph Group and Merck are piloting an integrated solution for cocoa traceability, combining physical authentication, Hedera-powered traceability, and enterprise process design. This solution will help verify cocoa origin, authenticity, quality, food recall needs, and compliance data from farm to consumer.

The initiative responds to rising regulatory pressure and persistent data fragmentation across cocoa supply chains. By linking each physical batch to a trusted digital identity, the solution demonstrates how brands, processors, and manufacturers can improve traceability, auditability, and stakeholder transparency across the value chain.
