農業貿易代幣化：應對現代挑戰的有前景的解決方案

農業作為人類文明的基石，在21世紀面臨前所未有的挑戰。氣候變遷威脅傳統耕作方式，預計到 2050 年全球人口將達到 97 億

Agriculture, the foundation of human civilization, faces critical challenges in the 21st century. Climate change threatens traditional farming practices, and the global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing food demand by 51%. Developing new and innovative solutions to enhance the industry is essential.

農業作為人類文明的基礎，在21世紀面臨嚴峻挑戰。氣候變遷威脅傳統耕作方式，預計到 2050 年全球人口將達到 97 億，糧食需求將增加 51%。開發新的創新解決方案來增強產業發展至關重要。

The tokenization of agricultural trade has emerged as a promising solution to many of its most pressing challenges. Many tokenization projects have focused on fractionalizing illiquid assets, also known as real-world assets (RWAs), enabling buyers and sellers to transfer ownership faster.

農產品貿易的代幣化已成為解決許多最緊迫挑戰的有希望的解決方案。許多代幣化專案都專注於分割非流動資產，也稱為現實世界資產（RWA），使買家和賣家能夠更快地轉移所有權。

However, there is a common misconception that tokenization is synonymous with fractionalization. Tokenization refers to the process of converting something of value into a digital token usable on a blockchain. For instance, we could tokenize the Mona Lisa as an NFT, representing the entire artwork as a single digital token. Alternatively, we could tokenize and fractionalize the piece of art and allow multiple people to own a part of it in the form of NFTs.

然而，存在一個常見的誤解，即標記化與碎片化同義。代幣化是指將有價值的東西轉換為可在區塊鏈上使用的數位代幣的過程。例如，我們可以將《蒙娜麗莎》代幣化為 NFT，將整個藝術品表示為單一數位代幣。或者，我們可以對藝術品進行代幣化和碎片化，並允許多人以 NFT 的形式擁有它的一部分。

These two approaches address different issues. The former, tokenizing the art as a single NFT, deals with the ownership of the asset and enables easier transferability. You don’t need to put it in an auction house and pay exorbitant fees to lawyers to transfer ownership—you simply need to transfer the NFT to transfer the legal ownership.

這兩種方法解決不同的問題。前者將藝術品代幣化為單一 NFT，處理資產的所有權並實現更輕鬆的轉讓。你不需要把它放在拍賣行，也不需要向律師支付高昂的費用來轉讓所有權——你只需要轉讓 NFT 就可以轉讓合法所有權。

The fractionalizing of the Mona Lisa addresses liquidity issues associated with the painting’s price. Since the Mona Lisa costs hundreds of millions, fractionalizing it allows multiple people to purchase shares of it and be bound to its future success. This also provides them with the opportunity to easily buy into and sell out of the asset.

《蒙娜麗莎》的分割解決了與畫作價格相關的流動性問題。由於《蒙娜麗莎》價值數億美元，將其分割可以讓多個人購買它的股份，並與它未來的成功息息相關。這也為他們提供了輕鬆買入和賣出資產的機會。

We don’t need to tokenize the underlying assets in agriculture as they’re already divisible; the holy grail is to tokenize the contractual agreements themselves. The benefits of tokenization for farmers are clear—instant settlements of contracts, the removal of unnecessary documentation, and a unified legal structure to the underlying trade process. A great deal of the current cost and friction in traditional agricultural systems is in transacting between jurisdictions—blockchain-based transactions will simplify this.

我們不需要對農業的基礎資產進行代幣化，因為它們已經是可分割的；聖杯是將合約協議本身代幣化。代幣化對農民的好處是顯而易見的——即時結算合約、消除不必要的文件以及基礎貿易流程的統一法律結構。當前傳統農業系統中的大量成本和摩擦都發生在管轄區之間的交易中——基於區塊鏈的交易將簡化這一點。

In the coming years, more marketplaces will leverage blockchain technology to tokenize agricultural trade. This shift is driven by the complexity of legal contracts, which can be simplified through smart contracts. These contracts will unify and automate underlying processes, removing friction and resolving issues efficiently—this will enable farmers to focus on what they do best.

未來幾年，更多市場將利用區塊鏈技術來標記農業貿易。這種轉變是由法律合約的複雜性所推動的，而法律合約可以透過智慧合約進行簡化。這些合約將統一和自動化基礎流程，消除摩擦並有效解決問題——這將使農民能夠專注於他們最擅長的事情。

The challenges facing agriculture The agricultural sector is fraught with challenges that make it insufficient and unfair for stakeholders within the supply chain.

農業面臨的挑戰 農業部門充滿了挑戰，這使得農業部門對供應鏈內的利害關係人來說能力不足且不公平。

According to a study, a 350g four-pack of supermarket beefburgers priced at £3.50 sees the beef farmer incurring high costs of 90p but receiving a profit of only 0.03% (0.1p). In contrast, with similar costs, the processor earns ten times the profit (1p), and the retailer earns 70 times the profit (7p). This pattern is seen across the sector: for a pack of mild cheddar, the farmer receives 0.02p, for bread, 0.01p, and for apples, just 1% of the retail price.

一項研究顯示，超市售價 3.5 英鎊的 350 克四包牛肉漢堡，肉牛養殖者的成本高達 90 便士，但利潤僅為 0.03%（0.1 便士）。相較之下，在成本相似的情況下，加工商賺取的利潤是其十倍（1p），零售商賺取的是利潤的 70 倍（7p）。這種模式在整個行業中都很常見：對於一包溫和的切達乾酪，農民可以獲得 0.02 便士，對於麵包，農民可以獲得 0.01 便士，而對於蘋果，則只需零售價的 1%。

One major reason for profit disparity is the fragmented nature of the supply chains requiring multiple intermediaries. Blockchain applications are streamlining these processes by automating transactions and reducing friction for and with intermediaries, thus lowering costs and increasing transparency. Furthermore, inefficiencies and a lack of transparency in the supply chain can lead to disproportionate profit distribution, with farmers often at the beginning of the supply chain bearing a disproportionate amount of risk for the reward they receive. This disparity highlights the need for improved market platforms and better support systems for farmers to ensure fairer profit distribution.

利潤差異的主要原因之一是供應鏈的分散性，需要多個中介機構。區塊鏈應用程式透過自動化交易並減少中介機構之間的摩擦來簡化這些流程，從而降低成本並提高透明度。此外，供應鏈效率低下和缺乏透明度可能導致利潤分配不成比例，處於供應鏈起始端的農民往往為其獲得的回報承擔不成比例的風險。這種差異凸顯了需要改進市場平台和更好的農民支持體系，以確保更公平的利潤分配。

Solution through innovation The tokenization of agricultural trade will play a crucial role in creating more transparency and efficiency in the supply chain. This will ultimately provide farmers with a fairer share of the profits and end users with cheaper products.

透過創新解決方案農業貿易的代幣化將在提高供應鏈透明度和效率方面發揮至關重要的作用。這最終將為農民提供更公平的利潤份額，並為最終用戶提供更便宜的產品。

The agricultural industry needs a blockchain-based real-world assets marketplace to bring the $2.7 trillion agricultural trade on-chain. Immutable ledger technology brings a layer of verified trust to a system that has used papers and pens for too long. Settlement has relied for too long on archaic banking channels, and finally, access to markets has been riven by unnecessary additional hands.

農業產業需要一個基於區塊鏈的現實世界資產市場，將 2.7 兆美元的農業貿易轉移到鏈上。不可變的帳本​​技術為長期使用紙筆的系統帶來了一層經過驗證的信任。結算長期以來一直依賴陳舊的銀行管道，最後，市場准入被​​不必要的額外人員所破壞。

A new blockchain-based system would enable instant settlement of transactions, with fees of only 0.15% for each side of the trade. This is in stark contrast to traditional systems, where fees can be several percentage points per trade.

一個新的基於區塊鏈的系統將實現交易的即時結算，交易雙方的費用僅為 0.15%。這與傳統系統形成鮮明對比，傳統系統每筆交易的費用可能是幾個百分點。

For example, Oldenburg Vineyards, one of the biggest wine producers in South Africa has recently settled one of the first agricultural trades on Solana. Adrian Vanderspuy, owner and CEO of Oldenburg Vineyards, stated:

例如，南非最大的葡萄酒生產商之一奧登堡葡萄園最近在索拉納完成了首批農業貿易之一。奧爾登堡葡萄園 (Oldenburg Vineyards) 所有者兼首席執行官阿德里安·范德斯皮 (Adrian Vanderspuy) 表示：

“We settled the first-ever trade on a public blockchain, and it is now on its way from South Africa to London. The funds came into our account in seconds rather than days, and the fees were £5

「我們在公共區塊鏈上解決了有史以來的第一筆交易，現在它正在從南非運往倫敦。資金在幾秒鐘而不是幾天內就進入我們的帳戶，費用為 5 英鎊
