**4. Safety and traceability standards**

The capacity to backtrack and use recorded data to track an entity's history, use, or location based on some special identity within a business entity is known as traceability. Van Rijswijk and Frewer (2008) suggested that a useful extension to this definition is, to include the movement of products between businesses. Based on the demand for quality produce, few standards are followed for the assurance of quality to the customers [10]. This section deals with the standards that could be implemented in the food supply chain, based on four basic types. They are based on the production system, based on the post-harvest system, based on pest control and based on product (**Figure 1**).
