Blockchain como modelo de inovação na sistematização das informações para exportação de café

Abstract

With the market increasingly looking for innovation and ease in finding information and optimizing time, the blockchain appears as a viable alternative to serve the entire export chain in the coffee sector. The general objective of this work is to investigate technological alternatives to fill the gap in the coffee growing chain, regarding the transparency of information, while the specific ones are: to describe the panorama of the commercialization of Brazilian coffee; ICMS operationalization with trends in blockchain usage; and blockchain as a model of innovation in the sector. The work was conducted through the use of secondary data obtained through bibliographical reviews, books, academic works, websites of public and private institutions, among other existing productions in the literature related to the field of study. The analysis was descriptive and quantitative, based on the theoretical field in an extensive and exploratory way. The main results are: payment of most taxes at source, with the producer as the weak link in the chain, reflecting on its profitability. Brazil as the largest coffee exporter in the world, with the United States as the largest client country, and Europe as the largest client continent. Need to create a sharable and easily accessible data platform, with the producer as the source user to see how much taxes he pays, in addition to helping him in the timing of management (planting/harvesting), and indication of sale to the cooperative , where it will therefore continue to update the data (quantity and quality) until later it arrives at the trading, which will send it to the destination countries, becoming an easy-to-use, accessible, safe, traceable and immutable system, positive against fraud. It is concluded that government support in the creation of a platform for the coffee chain will positively help all members of the chain, below, there is a need for a tax reform in the field and the creation of a single tax, in order to facilitate understanding and understanding of your destiny.
