Selection of Traceable Technology in Food Supply Chain

Traceability is an essential tool to provide the product information throughout the Food Supply Chain (FSC), this help protecting the consumer welfare and in developing global competencies. Several technologies are available to implement the traceability system in FSC; these are barcoding, QR code, edible label, DNA- barcoding and paper-based systems. In this paper, we have tried to identify the significant factors towards the selection of the traceable technology within FSC through the literature review and supported by the expert opinion. These factor and sub-factors are prioritised using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The findings of this work suggest that product-related factors have the highest weight, and needs attention while selecting the traceable technology in FSC. This work may assist the practitioners in the selection of traceable technology for their FSC in an efficient manner.
