Abstract: The environment monitoring is an important factor for maintaining quality of perishable goods. Perishable goods are goods that have limited lifespan if not refrigerated properly. Blockchain is the trending technology that provides a secured and transparent network for maintaining a ledger. The ledger contains all transactions between the importer, grower and shipper. Every transaction is automatically done without any central authority. The environmental monitoring includes temperature and humidity. The reading from temperature and humidity sensor is published in the block chain. A smart contract is generated to calculate the penalty if temperature of container is not maintained in the specified range. After penalty calculation, the grower is fined and the balance amount is paid to the growers account.
