Design Framework of a Traceability System for the Rice Agroindustry Supply Chain in West Java

Abstract

Rice is a vital food commodity in Indonesia due to its role as a staple food for most Indonesian people. The rice supply chain in Indonesia varies from one region to another and it is difficult to trace movement along the chain from land to customers. This introduces non-transparency and uncertainty in the quantity and quality of rice at every node along the supply chain. The crucial issues of food safety and security, as well as consumer concern and curiosity in buying and consuming foods, increases the need for a traceability system for the rice value chain which can be easily and widely accessed. This paper describes the design framework of an IT (Information Technology)-based traceability system for the rice supply chain on web platforms. The system approach has been followed (where the system requirements are identified based on supply chain characteristics) and then the logical framework for implementing internal and external traceability was modeled using IDEF-0 (Integrated Definition Modeling). This paper further presents an explanation of the ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) as an initial step to modeling the data requirements and a model of information exchange between stakeholders that explains the data that must be recorded and forwarded to the next stakeholder. Finally, we propose the CBIS (Computer Based Information System) concept to develop a traceability system in the rice supply chain.

Community enterprise consumers’ intention to purchase organic rice in Thailand: the moderating role of product traceability knowledge

“…Investigating product traceability knowledge as a moderator is crucial as it provides information on how consumers' knowledge of product information can influence the relationship between various factors and purchase intention, which helps in understanding better organic food consumption behaviour. Food traceability is currently considered an indispensable feature of food safety (Purwandoko et al, 2019;Violino et al, 2019); as such, knowledge of product traceability could affect consumers' purchase intentions for organic rice. Therefore, it is possible that this framework modification incorporating the moderating role of product traceability knowledge allows this study to obtain a new and more focused understanding of how this factor affects consumers' purchase intention, when specifically applied to organic food.…”

“…These latest developments in organic food marketing, which integrate innovative IoT technologies, also convince sellers to design traceability systems (Li et al, 2019;Purwandoko et al, 2019). Food traceability systems record information regarding the critical stages in food production, processing and distribution, from farms to retailers (Wu et al, 2021).…”

Research on the traceability system of general-type agricultural products in planting industry based on Internet of Things

“…Previous studies on the traceability system of agricultural products in the planting industry mostly focused on one or a kind of product. For example, Pradeka [4] and Purwandoko [5] developed an intelligent traceability system for the rice agricultural products supply chain to monitor the rice production process and promote the transparency of food production. Zhang Yanping [6] and Tong Hao [7] respectively designed a watermelon traceability system using Internet of things technology and IPv6 protocol to provide a basis for consumers to trace the origin of the watermelon growth process.…”

Organic Rice Supply Chain Strategy in Sawangan Organic Farmers Association, Magelang District, Indonesia

“…Designing a food agriculture industrialization system capable of producing food products with high added value for farmers, guaranteed food supply without any obstacles, controlled high quality, guaranteed product safety, and affordable food prices for the community is one of the efforts to improve the food security system. This can be accomplished by putting together a supply chain strategy that brings together actors from all supply chain segments, either vertically or horizontally [4]. The industrial agricultural system is characterized by high value-added agricultural businesses and integrated in a supply chain based on a synergistic and fair partnership relationship by relying on national resources, local wisdom, as well as environmentally sound science and technology.…”
