OK. But what if the producer said they put 10 bananas, but they lied and actually put 8? When it finally gets to the recipient, nobody knows whether the shipping company stole them or whether the producer lied. The blockchain did not help.

Come on, it's not that hard...

I mention about the producer saying they have a receipt indicating 10 bananas. Whoever produced that receipt signed a message saying "I got 10 bananas from the producer" is now on record responsible for it.
