Market activities became global and sophisticated since the Covid-19 pandemic has become more widespread, these problems have resulted during high demand for food supplies, especially for affected communities, so blockchain technology advocated to extend the distribution's traceability during a decentralized and transparent manner. This method realizes the effective delivery of food supply chains in real-time, including physical conditions and geographical positions, on the premise of protecting privacy and security. It concluded interconnectivity from decentralization and transparency advantages for the COVID-19 program, both communities, and organizations. This paper introduces new inventories to the model and methodology of chain management techniques, supported general supply chain modeling with suppliers, logistics, and distributors, as a matter of optimization of distribution in several general principles and assumptions that support writing workshops. The point of this paper is to spot food supply chain management to share availability information in improving decentralized distribution.
