Our first article looks at the potential for blockchain, and other distributed ledger technologies, to revolutionize supply chain management by improving efficiency and the antitrust issues which can arise from their use. Explore the article for practical solutions for avoiding these antitrust issues.
We then examine recent human rights developments relating to agricultural supply chains. We discuss recent rulings which will have a significant effect on supply chain management in the future.

Across the Atlantic, in Mexico, an investigation is currently underway examining whether companies or individuals established cartel arrangements that have adversely affected the corn flour market.
