Traceability
systems are increasingly being used throughout agriculture to:
|
| 1) Improve supply-side management,
|
|
| 2) Increase safety and quality control,
and |
|
| 3) Market foods with specific desired
attributes. |
The benefits associated with these objectives include lower-cost distribution
systems, reduced recall expenses and expanded sales and profit margins
of high-value products. In each instance, the benefits of traceability
translate into increased revenues, which in turn have been driving
the widespread development and deployment of traceability systems
across the food supply chain.
Traceability adoption has encountered hurdles at the farm level as
the lack of fast, effective rural data access has greatly limited
widespread uptake of the necessary online applications. Today there
is no industry-wide system for sourcing and monitoring products throughout
the production and processing chain. Agristar Global Networks, however,
has been working with leading traceability firms to develop turnkey
solutions that utilize our fast connection and universal availability.
Traceability and Internet access packages can be customized for businesses
and commodity groups, rapidly deployed throughout any region of the
country, and delivered to as large a number of sites as needed to
track any type of commodity.
For additional information on our traceability solutions, please contact
