VeChain Is Targeting The Multi-billion Dollar Chinese Pet Food Traceability Market Using Industry Leading Blockchain Technology
SHANGHAI, Aug. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Against the overall market downturn from the global pandemic, China's pet food 
industry bucked the trend with notable growth. It was valued at USD 1.082 
billion in 2020 (

), and it is projected to reach USD 1.4749 billion in 2026. Despite the surging 
expansion, the pet food market in China is not mature enough.

Without unified industry standards, in particular food quality standards, 
low-quality and counterfeiting pet foods are still prevalent in the market. The 
choices of pet foods in the Chinese market have become a tug-of-war between pet 
owners, brands, press news and social media. This opens up an opportunity for 
problem solvers. Blockchain technology enables accurate traceability of 
ingredients, allowing pet food manufacturers to solve biosecurity problems and 
quickly bring health concerns about pet food safety under control. 

VeChain Technology Confirms Transparency By Traceability

Through immutable provenance technology, blockchain provides proof of pet food 
ingredient claims and quality by essentially telling a brand's story in a 
trustless manner that is unable to be replicated by any other solution in the 
market. 

VeChain, the world's leading public blockchain provider aims to revolutionize 
pet food traceability, safety and marketing by providing multiple layers of 
benefits through its full services across the entire lifecycle of the supply 
chain, including:

Proof Of Origin: Uploading the source of pet food and import certificate on the 
blockchain to ensure the integrity of the product and presenting it to the 
customers through digital marketing, making product claims like "imported 
salmon" and "American original" far more convincing than before. 

Proof Of Ingredients: Blockchain can validate the usage of high-quality 
ingredients in products. For example, companies focusing on healthy and organic 
foods can show off their ingredients used and manufacturing process in a 
transparent manner. It can also prove the manufacturer's quality claims, such 
as sustainability efforts and membership of AAFCO. 

Traceability Of Entire Value Chain: Blockchain connects the supply chain and 
traces the source of each ingredient, behavior of the people involved during 
the entire process, and more. As a result, blockchain can not only increase 
efficiency of a company's internal supply chain, but also potentially prevent 
damages to a company's reputation during recalls, as increased traceability 
data enable companies and authorities to quickly track and trace problematic 
batches of products, significantly increasing consumer trust and safety.

New Marketing Tool In Chinese Market: Data On the Blockchain 

In a growing market like China, there is both a regulatory push and consumer 
interest in knowing more about the pet food manufacturing process, including 
the ingredients used and whether they were imported. Data stored on the 
blockchain provides another marketing pitch. 

With blockchain technology, pet owners can trust ingredient listings are 
accurate because pet food recipes and the ingredients used have been stored on 
the blockchain. The company that is able to provide the actual content or 
weights of individual ingredients will be establishing a higher degree of 
goodwill and reputation by proving that their products are truly nutritionally 
balanced, safe, and environmentally conscious for their pets. 

Already, VeChain has engaged with multiple companies in the pet food industry, 
and many of them have expressed interest in blockchain technology to solve the 
aforementioned problems and pain points.

By leveraging the data visualization module of VeChain ToolChain(TM), business 
owners can easily access the benefits of blockchain and implement blockchain in 
a lead time as short as a few days or weeks. The market-ready product is able 
to be integrated in established SCM and CRM systems, and can efficiently 
improve the efficiency, traceability, and transparency of supply chains while 
lowering costs and giving individual users greater control. It is a win-win 
solution for the entire industry for both manufacturers and consumers.
