农业贸易代币化：应对现代挑战的有前景的解决方案

农业作为人类文明的基石，在21世纪面临着前所未有的挑战。气候变化威胁着传统耕作方式，预计到 2050 年全球人口将达到 97 亿

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.

农业作为人类文明的基础，在21世纪面临严峻挑战。气候变化威胁着传统耕作方式，预计到 2050 年全球人口将达到 97 亿，粮食需求将增加 51%。开发新的创新解决方案以增强行业发展至关重要。

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.

农产品贸易的代币化已成为解决许多最紧迫挑战的有希望的解决方案。许多代币化项目都专注于分割非流动资产，也称为现实世界资产（RWA），使买家和卖家能够更快地转移所有权。

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，存在一个常见的误解，即标记化与碎片化同义。代币化是指将有价值的东西转换为可在区块链上使用的数字代币的过程。例如，我们可以将《蒙娜丽莎》代币化为 NFT，将整个艺术品表示为单个数字代币。或者，我们可以对艺术品进行代币化和碎片化，并允许多人以 NFT 的形式拥有它的一部分。

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.

这两种方法解决不同的问题。前者将艺术品代币化为单一 NFT，处理资产的所有权并实现更轻松的转让。你不需要把它放在拍卖行，也不需要向律师支付高昂的费用来转让所有权——你只需要转让 NFT 就可以转让合法所有权。

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.

《蒙娜丽莎》的分割解决了与画作价格相关的流动性问题。由于《蒙娜丽莎》价值数亿美元，将其分割可以让多个人购买它的股份，并与它未来的成功息息相关。这也为他们提供了轻松买入和卖出资产的机会。

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.

我们不需要对农业的基础资产进行代币化，因为它们已经是可分割的；圣杯是将合同协议本身代币化。代币化对农民的好处是显而易见的——即时结算合同、消除不必要的文件以及基础贸易流程的统一法律结构。当前传统农业系统中的大量成本和摩擦都发生在管辖区之间的交易中——基于区块链的交易将简化这一点。

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.

未来几年，更多市场将利用区块链技术将农业贸易代币化。这种转变是由法律合同的复杂性推动的，而法律合同可以通过智能合同进行简化。这些合同将统一和自动化基础流程，消除摩擦并有效解决问题——这将使农民能够专注于他们最擅长的事情。

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

农业面临的挑战 农业部门充满了挑战，这使得农业部门对供应链内的利益相关者来说能力不足且不公平。

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.

一项研究显示，超市售价 3.5 英镑的 350 克四包牛肉汉堡，肉牛养殖者的成本高达 90 便士，但利润仅为 0.03%（0.1 便士）。相比之下，在成本相似的情况下，加工商赚取的利润是其十倍（1p），零售商赚取的是利润的 70 倍（7p）。这种模式在整个行业中都很常见：对于一包温和的切达干酪，农民可以获得 0.02 便士，对于面包，农民可以获得 0.01 便士，而对于苹果，则只需零售价的 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.

利润差异的主要原因之一是供应链的分散性，需要多个中介机构。区块链应用程序通过自动化交易并减少中介机构之间的摩擦来简化这些流程，从而降低成本并提高透明度。此外，供应链效率低下和缺乏透明度可能导致利润分配不成比例，处于供应链起始端的农民往往为其获得的回报承担不成比例的风险。这种差异凸显了需要改进市场平台和更好的农民支持体系，以确保更公平的利润分配。

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.

通过创新解决方案农业贸易的代币化将在提高供应链透明度和效率方面发挥至关重要的作用。这最终将为农民提供更公平的利润份额，并为最终用户提供更便宜的产品。

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.

农业行业需要一个基于区块链的现实世界资产市场，将 2.7 万亿美元的农业贸易转移到链上。不可变的账本技术为长期使用纸笔的系统带来了一层经过验证的信任。结算长期以来一直依赖于陈旧的银行渠道，最后，市场准入被不必要的额外人员所破坏。

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.

一个新的基于区块链的系统将实现交易的即时结算，交易双方的费用仅为 0.15%。这与传统系统形成鲜明对比，传统系统每笔交易的费用可能是几个百分点。

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产商之一奥尔登堡葡萄园最近在索拉纳完成了首批农业贸易之一。奥尔登堡葡萄园 (Oldenburg Vineyards) 所有者兼首席执行官阿德里安·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

“我们在公共区块链上解决了有史以来的第一笔交易，现在它正在从南非运往伦敦。资金在几秒钟而不是几天内就进入我们的账户，费用为 5 英镑
