Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has recently won in Taiwan the eAsia Award for developing Traceability software used for tracking organic foods. This was informed to FnB News by Sanjay Dave, director, APEDA, in a chat over telephone.

“The award was given to APEDA after many discussions by the jury in which it concluded that no other country had developed such Traceability system, for its features and also for the fact that around 5 lakh farmers were associated with this including around 20-30 certification bodies, exporters and traders and it was our biggest achievement,” Dave said.
