Abstract
In the near past, the increasing demand of produce supply and the frequent foodborne disease have turned the issue of agro-food quality and safety into the key point of concerned all over the world. The approach of agro-food traceability is being under the exploration in lots of communities in the world for controlling the occurrence of quality and safety accidents, restoring consumer confidence. In this paper, we first introduce the implication of the traceability system for agro-food quality and safety, and the development situation of the system in China and overseas have been described. Then, the application of information techniques for agro-food traceability has been elaborated base on the summary of key techniques in recent produce traceability. At last, the existence problem in the construction of traceability system for agro-food quality and safety is pointed out so as to provide a reference to optimize and improve the traceability system of produce quality and safety.
