Traceability Information Model for Sustainability of Black Soybean Supply Chain: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Traceability information as a solution option becomes an important task for the industry in providing products, preparing sustainable raw materials, and ensuring adequate safety quality. The emergence of these demands makes the industry perform tracking in order to prepare product inventories ranging from raw materials to products that have been produced. Based on these reasons, the scope of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the literature on various aspects of implementing information traceability models and sustainability of supply chain on economic, social, environmental, technological, institutional, and infrastructural dimensions. For this purpose, we use the Scopus, Science Direct, EBSCO Host, and ProQuest databases. We used the PRISMA model to identify, filter, and test for the eligibility of articles to be included. We selected 52 articles contributed by this search engine. We found was that between 2018 to 2021 there was increasing interest in this research. The dominant traceability information model in the article uses blockchain, the rest use operations research (OR), Google Earth Engine (GEE), website-based, Unified Modeling Language (UML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), physical markup language (PML), logit, enterprise resource planning (ERP), soft independent modelling of class analogies (SIMCA), and Spatially Explicit Information on Production to Consumption Systems (SEI-PCS).

Product Traceability and Supply Chain Sustainability of Black Soybeans as Raw Materials for Soy Sauce in Maintaining Quality and Safety

“…All of these dimensions exist in farmer groups, but in cooperatives, the infrastructural dimension does not exist, as it concerns farming roads and irrigation. The determinants of the dimensions of supply chain sustainability are in line with the opinion of Anwar et al [40], who say that traceability in supply chain sustainability can affect these dimensions. The economic, social, environmental, and technological dimensions are among the determinants of an effective, sustainable supply chain [26].…”

“…It is an effective solution, acting as a management tool to ensure product safety and quality in the supply chain [39]. Traceability concerns the verification of a product's authenticity to ensure its safety and quality, such as a true statement of geographic origin, variety, or cultivation [40,41], and provides valuable and timely information for various stakeholders and decision-makers, from planting to harvesting to crop production forecasting [42].…”

“…The environmental dimension can be addressed with waste management [20], pest and disease control [48], the availability of fertilizers and pesticides [24,29,40,49], and sustainable water management [38]. Waste management considers the benefits of reusing/recycling waste materials [50].…”

“…Furthermore, the technological dimension ensures sustainability under climate change by adopting plant breeding seed technology to achieve high production and increased productivity [48,51]. Field use of seeds needs to be tracked [40], as seeds have a direct impact on production [52]. Traceability examines the institutional dimension; supply chain stakeholders make internal governance arrangements, and external stakeholders seek to influence supply chain activities [48].…”

Enhancing Soybean Eco-Farming Sustainability Through On-Farm, Off-Farm Sub-System, and Value Chain Integration

“…Farming productivity refers to the quantity of output obtained per unit of land area. Input and output pricing have a significant impact on stability [9]. Farmers' revenue from farming activities is highly erratic due to high price swings.…”
