Abstract
Traceability management has evolved as a whole chain controlling system for agro-product quality and safety in recent years. Information technology has played a key role in agro-product traceability management. This paper analyzed current status in technology application for agro-product traceability and highlighted problems in practice. Fundamental strategy and relevant policy suggestions to establish framework of traceability management platform for agro-product quality and safety have been put forward in this paper.
