Traceability in practice

In practice, the term traceability

stands for a system of record

keeping and documentation by

operators that enables tracking

of the movement of a product or

ingredient through the food

chain.

Need for traceability in Grapes

Increasing global focus on food

safety, especially on residue

monitoring, product

standardisation, Traceability,

etc.,

Use of the above as non-tariff

barriers by developed markets

Crisis in 2003 in the export of

Grapes to European Union

Grapes Scenario in India

Grapes is among the Top Ten Fruits of India, in terms of production

2.5 million metric tonnes produced, majorly in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka

40000 plus farmers

100 plus exporters

India is among the Top 10 producers in the world, but among the highest in terms of productivity per hectare

THE MITIGATION MECHANISM

GrapeNet

12

STAGE I: a Government of India regulation -

Regulation of Export of Fresh Grapes from India through

monitoring of pesticide residues.

Standards to meet international market demands

Agencies to test compliance with these standards

And no export of fresh grapes can happen to

European Union without adhering to this system.

STAGE II: IT enable the regulation, compliance and

monitoring

integrating all the stakeholders in the supply chain

of Grapes export from India, with a centralized

database.

APEDA’s Implementation

GrapeNet

13

Every consignment of fresh grapes during the last

season from India to European Union was

monitored through this system and no

consignment was rejected due to quality reasons.

The export of fresh grapes from India to European

Union consistently increasing every year since

implementation of GrapeNet.

The per unit realization for exporters directly and

farmers indirectly went up from previous years

due to the stringent standards defined and

monitored in the grapes sector in India.

Result achieved

GrapeNet: Introduction

GrapeNet is an internet based traceability software system, for monitoring fresh grapes exported to the European Union from India upto the farm level.

GrapeNet has put in place an end-to-end system for monitoring pesticide residue, achieve product standardization and facilitate tracing back from retail shelves to the farm of the Indian grower, through the various stages of sampling, testing, certification and packing.

GrapeNet: Highlights

The software can be easily used - anywhere, anytime, 24 by 7, by all authorized stakeholders, supported by a dedicated call center, with turnaround time of 2 to 10 minutes.

All they need to use is a commonly available web browser through their internet connection in a secured environment.

Zero paperwork and Zero mistakes

Completely credible and foolproof

No document can be issued without going through the software.

It has virtually reduced duplication in data capture and enables instant reference of previous steps in the supply chain.

The inbuilt checks and balances in the software ensure that the succeeding step can be carried out only if the preceding steps were successfully complied with.

GrapeNet: Highlights

Transparency in system: The result of every activity in the system is recorded and made available for next user in the supply chain, resulting in complete transparency.

Single window resolution: The single software system of Grapenet is used by all stakeholders, thereby providing a single window resolution online, inspite their physical location across the state/country

Ease of navigation: User-friendly, Menu driven design

Impact on service response time: Has removed many repetitive steps, there by reducing the overall response time required for any consignment

GrapeNet: The benefits

Demonstrated the feasibility of

Certification led Traceability in a diverse

nation like India

Demonstrated that a varied range of

stake holders can work together in an

integrated manner and deliver results

Helped improve Self Confidence among

Importers, Exporters and Farmers

Introduced the Best Agriculture & Post

Harvest Practices among the Farmers and

Pack Houses

Demonstrated that better Revenue
