TORONTO, Jan. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graph Blockchain Inc. (“Graph” or
“Company”) (CSE: GBLC) is pleased to announce a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”) entered into between Datametrex AI Limited (“Datametrex”), an associated company of
Graph, with Lotte Data Communication Company, (“LDCC”). The Company, in collaboration with Datametrex and
LDCC, intends to provide the expertise and technology in building blockchain solutions for the importation of Canadian Beef.
Further to the previous press release on November 7, 2018 (click here for more information), regarding Graph’s discussion to build blockchain solutions for
the safe and secure importation of Canadian Beef, senior management of both Lotte Data Communications Company and Datametrex met at
the Canadian Embassy in Seoul, South Korea to sign the MOU in the presence of Michael Danagher, Canadian Ambassador to South Korea
and Sonja Panday, Counsellor of Economic Affairs for the Province of Ontario.
The MOU provides the initial framework for Graph, working with Datametrex and LDCC to jointly develop Blockchain
Supply Chain Management Solutions for livestock products from Canada. The Company believes that building a Supply Chain
Management for the importation of livestock products will increase the likelihood that consumers have safer and more reliable
livestock products. Additionally, the Company believes that such a system will enable manufacturers and distributors to
respond promptly if any health issues are detected with these products. This system will be designed to generate information at
each stage of distribution through IoT sensors and to prevent forgery through blockchain technology. The secure information
that is generated will be available to users in real-time so that they can quickly track and respond to situations.
As part of a full Global Food Supply Chain Management eco-system, Graph has also had initial and continuing
discussions with Provincial Trade Ministries regarding agricultural data assets of farmers and ranchers. As stakeholders in
the eco-system, Canadian farmers can expect to have opportunities for (i) greater access into Asian markets and (ii) increased
demand for their products, through the transparency of the system.
“Great job by the team in putting this together with Lotte. It’s great to see strategy executed, and with
Graph being validated through the MOU, we continue working towards a Definitive Agreement with LDCC and anticipate exploring
opportunities to expand to other related companies,” says Peter Kim, CEO of the Company.
