Digital Traceability
A digital traceability system uses technology to track a product as it moves along the supply chain.
It captures a range of data to help consumers and supply chain partners identify and trace the product’s history, where it was produced, and its distribution journey.
The future of global agricultural exports lies in a universal system of digitised and secure data capturing, sharing, authenticating, and storage.
Technologies like serialised labelling, cloud-based databases, radio frequency identification, blockchain and artificial intelligence are making digital traceability systems more accessible and user-friendly.
How digital traceability can help your business
Many producers already use digital traceability systems to make these types of farm management practices more efficient:
- tracking and tracing farm inputs
- crop growth monitoring
- recording harvest data
- logging temperatures in transit
- tracking the movement of produce along supply chains.
Digital traceability can also:
- reduce the costs of farming inputs such as fertiliser
- monitor soils to improve yield
- help estimate shelf life
- improve product quality through enhanced monitoring
- reduce food waste on-farm and along the supply chain
