1. One Platform To Do It All
TRACEABILITY
BY
Wheat Day Workshop
13th February 2023
Cairo, Egypt

2. FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS NEED TRACEABILITY
94% of organisations surveyed in a study by Sapio said they lack
transparency in supply chain
Just 30% of organisations have full visibility of goods in transit.
79% believe that improved visibility would have a material
effect on cutting wastage.
Traceability can minimize the negative impact of recalls
Food chains are becoming increasingly complex and global –
information sharing is vital to avoid costly mistakes

3. Was child or slave labor used in growing this apple?
Did this apple tree grow on land cleared by deforestation?
Has it been tested on food safety and trade parameters?
Who is the farmer? Where is the farm? Was it grown responsibly?
When was this harvested? How did it reach you?
Is it safe to eat? Is it organic? Is it free of contamination/pesticides?
INCREASINGLY CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS
