Description
Guangxing Wei, Jiayi Shen, and Xiaohan Guo present this 2026 PLOS One game-theory study of blockchain tracking in green farm supply chains. The question is who should pay to adopt it. Earlier work simply assumed the adopter in advance. Here, makers and retailers decide for themselves. The authors compare four cases: nobody adopts, retailer only, maker only, or both. They weigh two kinds of cost, set-up cost and running cost.
Whether a firm adopts eagerly, follows its partner, or refuses depends on where those costs fall. The model derives threshold values for the choice. Retailers adopting alone was the most likely outcome in the authors' case study. Very high running costs killed adoption in over half the cases studied. The thresholds give managers and officials a map for sharing the blockchain bill.
