The technology is designed to manage a shared online record of data that is verified, secure and unchangeable. It is a shared, immutable ledger that may revolutionise the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of this technology also enables other innovations in agriculture, including making the production chain more transparent and traceable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step towards the issuance of cryptocurrencies in the Argentine agricultural sector was taken in 2020 by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcow.com.ar\/home\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BitCow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a firm that launched its own digital currency representing heads of cattle. This year came <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/agrotoken.io\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agrotoken<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, proposed for the main agricultural commodities, such as soybeans, corn and wheat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between these types of cryptocurrency and other well-known and popular forms \u2013 such as Bitcoin and Ethereum \u2013 is that they are backed by real-world assets. The latter operate without a real asset behind them, so their price can be very volatile, depending on the changing moods in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCryptocurrencies arising from projects such as BitCow or Agrotoken are \u2018stablecoins\u2019, whose value is linked to another asset through a parity relationship,\u201d said Federico Orsi, head of corporate finance at the FinEco consultancy firm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Orsi, this type of initiative is \u201chere to stay\u201d, as it is just one of the potential applications of the \u201cblockchain revolution\u201d in agriculture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat is recorded on the blockchain is never altered again. This changes the landscape of many industries and, sooner rather than later, it will end up being adopted by all,\u201d said Lisandro Lapunzina, director of innovation at Grupo Am\u00e9rica, a business association based in the city of Rosario.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>BitCow: virtual cows<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BitCow, its website <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcow.com.ar\/home\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">promises<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, allows anyone to \u201cbecome a livestock producer without leaving their home\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur aim is to democratise investment,\u201d described Guillermo Villagra, one of the cryptocurrency\u2019s founders. \u201cThere are many people who would like to participate in the farming business, but because it is a business of scale, they are left out. We open up the game, giving the possibility of participating in up to a tenth of a real asset, which in this case are heads of cattle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To date, the venture has already tokenised 2,000 cows \u2013 a marginal amount of Argentina\u2019s total herd, which is estimated at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipcva.com.ar\/vertext.php?id=2389)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">52 million head<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each animal represents one BitCow, as the cryptocurrency has been playfully christened. The company functions as an intermediary, guaranteeing the connection between the investor and the real-world holder of the asset. Therefore, it requires agreements with agricultural producers, which are executed through smart contracts established under blockchain technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This changes the landscape of many industries and, sooner rather than later, it will end up being adopted by all<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, the service is only available in Argentina, but their business plan details their intention to soon reach other leading livestock countries, including Brazil, Uruguay, Australia and New Zealand. \u201cIn the time we\u2019ve been operating, we have already reached 10,000 people who have gone through our platform,\u201d Villagra added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cryptocurrency\u2019s price is based on an index that takes into account the same variables that apply to the traditional market, from the price of live cattle to maintenance costs. At the time of writing, one BitCow was worth 180,000 Argentine pesos, around US$1,770.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Grains and oilseeds<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agrotoken is the first tokenisation platform for agri-commodities. It currently has two cryptocurrencies \u2013 SOYA and CORA, backed by soybeans and corn, respectively \u2013 and is about to launch a third, linked to wheat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEach token represents one tonne of the same grain,\u201d explained Patricio Greco, the company\u2019s COO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When delivering their produce to a collection centre, producers can choose to receive SOYA (in the case of those who work with the oilseed) in a virtual wallet, which will be used when making a transaction with any of the businesses that use the system. These include, for example, fertiliser manufacturer Rizobacter and fuel supplier Puma Energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>10,000<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\ntonnes of tokenised grain has so far been processed by Agrotoken<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the current stage, participation in the platform is restricted to domestic agricultural actors: producers, stockpilers and suppliers. \u201cTo date, transactions have been made for the purchase of vehicles, energy charges, seeds and practically all services associated with the sector,\u201d said Greco, who explained that they have already accumulated some 10,000 tonnes of tokenised grain. And there is much potential for growth: according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcr.com.ar\/es\/mercados\/investigacion-y-desarrollo\/informativo-semanal\/noticias-informativo-semanal\/argentina-se\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">projections by the Rosario Stock Exchange<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the 2021\u20132022 growing season could see a total of 140 million tonnes of grain produced in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the Argentinean countryside, the concept of grain swaps is very common,\u201d reflected Lisandro Lapunzina from Grupo Am\u00e9rica. \u201cIt is hard to see it from the outside, but producers often think of their inputs or purchases in terms of a certain number of truckloads of grain. At the end of the day, the currency is the grain. Technology allows us to perfect that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of the cryptocurrency is associated with indices published by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matbarofex.com.ar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matba Rofex<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> group, which is in charge of calculating and publishing financial and agricultural indices. They follow, in real time, the price of grains on the Rosario exchange, the main commodities trading market in Argentina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like BitCow, Agrotoken expects to expand its frontiers in the short term. Plans include not only expanding beyond borders \u2013 Brazil and the United States are the first places targeted \u2013 but also with respect to the type of assets tokenised: \u201cWe are already talking to several strategic players in the minerals and energy sector,\u201d Greco said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s next for cryptocurrencies in Argentina<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these two initiatives, in recent months there have been reports of other cryptocurrencies, with less media impact, associated with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/costaflores.com\/es\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">winemaking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnoa.com.ar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sugar production<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Juan Pablo Aguado, CBO of Bitex, which specialises in providing financial services that operate under blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency phenomenon is just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of what is to come in the agricultural sector. \u201cWith blockchain, you can certify the quality of food, to extreme levels,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This new technology is a large, decentralised database, which generates greater trust between all parties as it is inalterable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blockheadtechnologies.com\/how-blockchain-is-revolutionising-food-supply-chains\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food companies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are starting to adopt blockchain in their production processes, to account for the origin of their goods. Its use is increasing due to new requirements that could be established by countries faced with increasing threats of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/business\/how-tracing-every-tree-in-the-world-could-curb-deforestation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deforestation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/forest-resources-assessment\/2020\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food and Agriculture Organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the United Nations, between 1990 and 2020, the world lost 420 million hectares of forest due to the expansion of the agricultural frontier. As a consequence of this alarming figure, the European Commission recently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/qanda_21_5919\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proposed a regulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to require certain commodities to be deforestation-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe blockchain is the vehicle that could make it possible to show the traceability of production,\u201d said Diego Heinrich, founder of Carnes Validadas, a technology platform aimed at actors in the meat chain, which is already used by more than 200 livestock producers in Argentina. In 2022, the venture plans to land in Uruguay, Mexico, Bolivia and Paraguay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the world is yet to get fully onboard with the bitcoin phenomenon, it continues to produce disruptions that, some suggest, herald <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0040162520310805\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a fourth industrial revolution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and all as the result of the impact of the blockchain network. And even the agricultural sector \u2013 one of the most important sectors to the Argentine economy \u2013 is beginning to feel its effects.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blockchain technology and tokenisation of assets such as cows and soybeans could provide Argentina\u2019s agricultural sector with
