Farmed fish supply chain
• SMEs
• Consumer
• Business process
• Track the product
• Trace the data
• Technology: Barcode
RFID

Approach & Methodology
• Food traceability – Capture data (From Farm to Fork)
– Query data (From Fork to Farm)
• SCM Questions - Answers
WHAT - Product
WHEN – Time
WHERE – Location
WHY - Business step
• Selection of technology – Barcode
– RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) – EPC (UHF - 860 to 960 MHz)
• GS1 Traceability standards
• EPC Global Network – SCM partners
