【Abstract】This paper systematically reviews the literature on the adoption of blockchain technology in supply chain management (SCM) processes. Using the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) methodology, 53 peer-reviewed research publications from five different databases (IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, and EBSCOhost) were selected and analyzed using a classification coding framework. The findings reveal that agri-food traceability, blockchain security, smart contracts, and the internet of things (IoT) were the significant identified current trends in the use of blockchain in SCM processes. The key identified challenges include high costs of transactions and a lack of trust between stakeholders. Identified solutions were blockchain traceability systems and the use of smart contracts and IoTs. In addition, this paper identified gaps in the literature that need to be addressed in future studies.
