Abstract

Tracing the quality and safety of agricultural products by marking them with relevant information at each stage is an important means of identifying the responsibility of agricultural product supervision and management from production to market. The construction of a system to trace the quality and safety of agricultural products is of great significance for ensuring food safety from farmland to table and for promoting agricultural modernization in the country. This paper first summarizes the history, successful experience, and learning of the developed countries and regions in the world, such as the European Union and the United States, on the construction of traceability systems for agricultural product quality and safety. Next, the development of the Chinese agricultural products traceability system since 2000 is analyzed in detail from four aspects, i.e., laws and regulations, standards and codes, information systems & platforms, and key technologies. Finally, based on international development trends and the relevant national planning and requirements of the Chinese central government, this paper highlights four key objectives and three policy recommendations for the future development of China’s agricultural product quality and safety traceability system.
