Abstract: Tracing back the product information of fruits or vegetables that were sold in the grocery store is important in parliamentary procedure to ensure the quality and safety of the product for consumers. Nonetheless, tracing back the product information was not easy if there are inadequate data about the product which are gathered and shared across supply chain echelons. An exploratory study was conducted to clarify how an Agri-food exporter company did a traceability system across their supply chain echelons. The study found that the company has minimum traceability data and the products from various plantations are mixed in their packaging operation. And so, a traceability system was proposed to treat the troubles. The traceability system refers to a mechanism in Global Standard One (GS1) system. Utilization of Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was also recommended to improve the ease of data collecting and sharing from farmers or collectors to the company. Finally, the company should develop an information system and utilize data warehouse for managing the traceability system.
