Özet

Price fluctuation of agricultural products is a complicated problem influenced by many factors that can be harmful for the players of the market. One of the most important factors is uncertainty in yield estimation of the products. It is a fact that accurate yield estimation is crucial for planning and evaluating the agricultural investment. Generally, the existing yield estimation systems are designed in centralized setting. However, effective tracking may not be possible due to problems in the data flow. Recently, data can be stored in a decentralized and distributed architecture using the blockchain technology that provides a censorship-resistant, tamper-proof, and strongly immutable database. In this study, we will propose a blockchain based solution to determine the yield of agricultural products. Our solution can be considered as a platform that enables the producers to share their farming plan with the other players, and makes them to review their investments for the oncoming season.
