Abstract: Blockchain technology is changing the supply chain face by removing the trust-related issues among the vendors and customers. The agriculture supply chain consists of products from the farms to the customers. In this process, traceability plays a vital role in tracking and tracing the products in the entire supply chain. This research aims to identify traceability factors for adopting blockchain using stakeholders' theory. Five factors 'privacy', 'decentralised database', 'reduced transaction costs', 'secured database', 'shared database' are identified from the extensive literature review and the influence of these factors is measured on the blockchain adoption and traceability in agriculture supply chain. The results of the study show a positive influence of these five factors on the blockchain adoption and traceability in agriculture supply chain. The study will motivate the managers of agriculture supply chain for the blockchain adoption for enhancing the traceability.
