Poultry production in our state is still at meager development as proper updated information regarding the existing farms, feed availability and stock is not available properly. A need for a system that monitors these requirements and aids both farmers and customers in carrying out proper trading arises. Hence, we propose an application for the same based on blockchain technology which shall ensure data transparency and provenance tracking by ensuring legibility of data and keeping up proper updated information. The function of this application is mainly aimed to encourage the poultry famers of Kerala and fulfill their basic needs. Through this system the farmers will get to know about availability of feeds and ensure the quantity of the same. We also intend to provide the information about the total number of poultry farms or chicken centers and poultry feeding shops in Kerala along with details of each farm like the number of stocks to produce meats or eggs for food; the location of these farms and shops aiding in faster purchasing; the price of meat, eggs and feeds ensuring that price is not overruled by any one producer. Users shall rate the quality of shops as feedback to help identify quality shops and shall also promote good service. The availability of stock of feed/products can be monitored timely so as to cope with sudden unavailability or any adverse situation. Moreover, by checking these data the government can verify whether the farmers as well as their services are in a state of emergence or not. Thus, they can identify issues and bring about solutions to overcome the current scenario. Gradually, we can increase the number of farms in Kerala. Using blockchain, a distributed ledger for handling data rather than centralized methods will help in having a secure and tamper proof way of maintenance. The chance of overriding data and deleting or modifying data to create redundant or wrong information can be avoided by this.
