Merck, PwC and The Hashgraph Group are revolutionizing cocoa traceability with the Hedera blockchain

Merck, PwC Germany, and The Hashgraph Group pilot a Hedera-based cocoa traceability solution linking physical products to a digital twin via TrackTrace and M-Trust. End-to-end visibility is achieved with immutable records on Hedera, enabling origin, quality, and compliance data at checkpoints. This aligned with EU regulatory drives (ESPR, EUDR) to ensure deforestation-free, verifiable cocoa. The project demonstrates scalable, cross-sector potential for secure digital passports and audit-ready supply chains.
