Fukuoka Prefecture aims to develop a blockchain-based business model to provide traceability for its exported goods. One local startup, Chaintope, had successfully conducted a social trial to provide product information to Taiwanese customers for amaou strawberries, including producers and logistics names. The prefecture appropriated a budget of approximately ¥10 million for the program for FY 2022 as part of its ¥31.7 million investment for blockchain-related businesses. Source: Fukuoka Prefecture
