Generate your Farmable harvest tag barcodes in the field and apply them. When the bins reach the packhouse, all you have to do is scan the Farmable barcodes and the harvest details are immediately added to the Producepak database for traceability and inventory management purposes.
Once you scan your Farmable harvest tags, you can continue to manage your Producepak inventory by scanning the Farmable harvest tag to select bins to add to a batch or tip into the production line.
You can also scan the Farmable harvest tag at any time to move bins from one location to another, or sell them immediately.
Traceability is a system in which fruits and vegetables can be traced from the field to the buyer by lot through unique codes. A lot code could be a number, number-letter combination, or some other designation that is unique to the lot.
What is traceability?
Traceability is the ability to share information about a product along its supply chain, across production, processing, and distribution.
Effective traceability provides information about a product's journey from the farm to the end consumer. It’s a way of keeping track of information at every stage of a product’s journey, and the ability to share that information when needed.
All participants along the supply chain have a role to play in traceability. This includes food producers, suppliers, freight, logistics, food processing, and storage.
What is a traceability system?
Traceability systems come in many forms and will vary depending on the needs of the business and its supply chain.
Traceability is not defined by a specific system or technology. Information may be recorded manually, on paper, or automated through an electronic, digitalised system.
Why traceability is important
Businesses with limited or weak traceability can experience greater operational and financial risks.
Traceability helps mitigate biosecurity risks and enables prompt responses to food safety incidents.
The effective use of information and data stored in traceability systems can inform efficiency gains that support business productivity and profitability.
Traceability also helps businesses meet global market access requirements.

The Upside to Farm Traceability
While traceability is connected to regulations on the farm, it’s not all doom and paperwork. Farms that put good processes in place, stand to benefit:
Better traceability means the farm is in a stronger position to negotiate in the event of downgraded or rejected crops from packhouses, distributors or other supply chain partners.
ROI per field. Getting your data organized for field level traceability, means you can easily unlock a key metric for your farm: revenue per field. Now you are half-way to knowing your ROI per field. (If you are using Farmable, you can easily get all the way to ROI per field).
Subsidies. Money in your pocket. While you might start a traceability project due to upcoming regulation, putting the systems in place can easily allow you to demonstrate compliance with subsidy programs. Depending on where you farm, these are becoming more available for food safety programs, sustainability initiatives and just demonstrating alignment with central, digital reporting systems.
Farmable traceability labels for fresh produce farms are printable labels included in your subscription. For the cost of a label printer and a couple rolls of labels, you can initiate traceability this harvest season. Not to mention reduce the stress of managing the hundreds (or thousands) of bins that move through an orchard during harvest season.
