Addressing this challenge, TRST01, a sustainable technology company, has developed the Open AgriTrace Stack (OATS), a blueprint for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in agricultural traceability, authored under commission from the World Bank and published under a Creative Commons license. As regulations become more stringent across Europe, the US, Japan and other major markets, India requires trusted digital infrastructure that enables complete transparency while keeping compliance simple for every stakeholder,” said Prabir Mishra, CEO, TRST01. In the absence of credible traceability, exporters can face delays, additional inspections and, in some cases, rejection of consignments, while domestic food safety incidents become harder and slower to contain. Unlike closed software platforms, OATS is designed as an open framework that allows different digital systems to communicate seamlessly. An open, interoperable traceability ecosystem can build trust, improve transparency and unlock new opportunities for millions of farmers and exporters.”
