The paper Deals with the study of blockchain technology in the process of supply chain management, based on a decentralized approach to information exchange and consistent accounting of transactions. The advantages of using the proposed approach while ensuring the accounting of manufactured goods and key parameters of the flow of goods in the supply chains are shown. It is proposed to consider the process of data accumulation as the formation of a "digital trace" of the operations of a particular person, or the company and the introduction of a "smart contract" as a reliable tool for the implementation of intellectual property rights.

Currently implemented models of food supply chain management do not fully meet the needs of today, they do not meet the requirements prevailing on the market, do not provide additional competitive advantages and ensure the proper level of economic security. In this regard, the issue of the development of models and algorithms for supply chain management that takes into account current market trends, especially the distribution of goods and the level of solvent demand of the population becomes urgent. The main problems associated with the formation of effective supply chains that take into account regional characteristics, differences in transport infrastructure and the level of demand for various types of food are considered.
