Genetics and breeding services cooperative Livestock Improvement Corporation is investing in a blockchain company and developer of cloud-based mastitis testing technology.

LIC also increased investments in its AgCelerator fund designed to provide more value to New Zealand farmers.

The cooperative has invested in Auckland-based TrackBack, which uses blockchain in the agricultural sector to provide trust and transparency across the supply chain.

Fueled by the pandemic, traceability was increasingly the focus of consumers’ attention, LIC said, and the data the cooperative holds on animal health has been an important contributor to providing quality assurance for New Zealand farmers.

Trackback investment could increase global confidence in the quality, integrity and provenance of products.
