Red rice
• Bhutanese Red Rice is one of only three red rice varieties in the world – Red hill rice from Phillipines – (Coloured) red rice from the Camargue
• A premium product, mostly created by
smallholders
• Main sales arguments – One of the most select rice varieties in the world – Traditionally farmed on small terraces in the highlands (2,000-3,600m) – Watered with clear glacier water – A fine rice grain, rich in healthy fibres, protein and unsaturated fatty acids – More potassium than Gatorade, and a significant amount of magnesium – Quick-cooking whole grain – Nutritional and culinary superstar.

Uses of traceability
• Traceability can be used to – supporting a luxury product by creating a “story” around it. The target would be
selected exporters with an offering compatible with a luxury product.
• Traceability would here be the tool to create a story around the product that would differentiate it from other offerings.
• At the simplest level, it would provide basic production information, ), but the aim would be to use that information to create a differentiation from similar products from other locations. This can be achieved by using – Name, up to date photo and location of farmer(s) and their families
– Media material from production villages, such as photos and movies
– A description of harvesting practices and timing of the involved producers
– A description of milling techniques
– A taste profile by village
• This might be connected to claims such as organic (if certified) or traditionally produced
• Fair trade certification is an option

SWOT analysis
The main strengths of this system are • Creates a novel product (rice + “history”) • Luxury goods fetch high premiums and could be an excellent target for the low
productivity product
Main weaknesses • Overseas exports still a challenge • Traceability not practised • Total market volume of luxury market and potential penetration rate of
Bhutan rice unknown
The main opportunities would be • Introduce a small number of exporters to a new market segment • Provide farmers and rice mills with a way to promote themselves
The main threats would be • Quality of rice is difficult to measure • It is unclear whether there is enough supply to make this worthwhile

Uses of traceability
• Traceability can be used to
– despatch advice and notifications to the appropriate persons at the appropriate time to increase the use of good practices in primary production and handling
• Farmers would register with this service on larger scale and record basic actions sowing, weeding, ploughing and harvesting per plot. Failure to record such an event will trigger a warning to be sent to the farmer, suggesting that an action needs to be performed. Together with the warning or independently, basic information (“tips”) can be sent to farmers.
• Data capture and reception of information would be through mobile phones.
• After harvest, the rice mill will record receptions as means for payment

SWOT analysis
The main strengths of such a system are • Addresses one of the main problems at the root • Provides (anonymous) data about production throughout the country as a basis for in-
depth actuations by relevant bodies • Can be linked to trading platform increasing the possibility of quality-efficient trading
The main weaknesses of this proposal can be summarised as follows • There is no evidence that farmers are indeed interested in receiving such information • In order to have an effect, this system needs a critical mass of farmers on the system.
This requires a certain amount of internal marketing and training • While the technical complexity is low, there is a certain amount of implementation and
operation budget required
The main opportunities would be • Help increase the productivity problem by distributing advice • Improve understanding of the rice production as a basis for improved directed actions
The main threats would be • Lack of interest of farmers and pressers • Lack of resource to implement the system on large enough scale

Tasks
1. Determine your needs and how e-traceability can help you
2. Define the scope of the traceability system
