End-to-end food traceability system for dairy products have been overlooked despite being important to everyone since they are consumed widely all over the world. In Vietnam, there is not much reliable traceability solution for domestic dairy brands that offers consumers the opportunity to self-validate their purchase. Thus, the authors are motivated to conduct a research on “How can technology such as Blockchain help address the food safety issues in the Vietnamese domestic dairy sector?” with the hope to contribute to new research development that have not been actively exploited but also to have practical benefits. This research is based on inductive approach with qualitative design using data gathered from multiple secondary sources. A framework combining blockchain and related technologies has been recommended specifically for the Vietnamese domestic dairy sector to address the food safety and traceability issues.
