Spanish value-added seafood firm Angulas Aguinaga will join technology platform IBM Food Trust to incorporate the blockchain-based traceability system into its value chain.

This technology will facilitate full traceability throughout the supply chain, from sourcing and processing to its distribution to the point of sale.

Angulas Aguinaga will become the first Spanish manufacturer to join the platform.

“The implementation of this technology in our sector is a revolution in terms of transparency since blockchain technology guarantees the reliability and speed at which information is put at the disposal of suppliers and consumers,” said Javier Apalategui, director of transformation at Angulas Aguinaga.
