VeChain is a blockchain-based platform that aims to improve the day-to-day business operations and real-time tracking of various business processes and products. It allows manufacturers to add sensors, such as RFID tags, to their products that can then record data onto the VeChain blockchain. And recently, it got a “thumbs up” from local Chinese government.

A tea traceability platform powered by VeChain received an official endorsement from the Shuangjiang county government at its launch on Nov. 13. VeChain partnered with leading tea producers in the region to implement the traceability platform. The entire lifecycle of a tea brick from raw material to the consumer will be recorded on the VeChainThor blockchain, which customers can access by scanning a QR code or NFC tag with their smartphone. The Pu’er Tea Traceability Platform is one of the first third-party platforms to index into the National Important Products Traceability System, put in place by the Chinese Central Government.
