Efficient traceability systems are vital for managing the agro-food supply chain and responding effectively to product recalls. This study envisages the development of a real-time application and online tracking system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to ensure traceability and analyze post-harvest losses in the transport and handling chain in Sri Lanka. The integration of RFID technology with an appropriate information infrastructure enables end-to-end traceability at reduced labor costs. This research aims to design a distant traceability technique and a real-time tracking system using RFID coding. The system will provide insights into post-harvest loss reduction in the transport and handling chain within the food industry. Implementing RFID-enabled traceability systems eliminates the need for line-of-sight and labor-intensive processes like manual product counting and scanning. The proposed system's online tracking capabilities will allow farmers and ground-level food handlers to conveniently update information regarding harvest variety, quantity delivered to primary buyers, and received (bargain) prices. The system will ensure transparency, prevent existing unethical practices, and enable real-time monitoring & analyzing of post-harvest losses. It will also contribute to preventing stockpiling of crop products and illogical price fluctuations while ensuring access to a data base of vegetables at a certain time inside the country. Furthermore, this research aligns with the objectives of the proposed organic agriculture program by the Sri Lankan government, providing an effective tool to support sustainable farming practices and enhance the country's food security. In conclusion, this study proposes the development of an RFID-enabled traceability and tracking system for vegetables, aiming to minimize post-harvest losses, improve traceability, and enhance the efficiency of the supply chain in Sri Lanka's agro-food sector. The system's automation and real-time capabilities contribute to transparency, ethical practices, and the overall sustainability of the vegetable distribution system.
