Enhancing grape traceability from grower to consumer through GS1 Standards: A case study of the Australian table grape industry

Abstract

The traceability of agricultural products, including grapes, is essential for ensuring food safety, quality control, and supply chain transparency. This article investigates the use of GS1 standards to enhance grape traceability from grower to consumer. Through a case study approach, we examine how Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs), Global Location Numbers (GLNs), and Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs) were integrated into grape production and distribution processes to harmonize domestic and export supply chains and prepare for global regulatory requirements.

Potenziare la tracciabilità dell’uva dal produttore al consumatore attraverso gli standard GS1

La tracciabilità dei prodotti agricoli, compresi gli acini d’uva, è essenziale per garantire la sicurezza alimentare, il controllo della qualità e la trasparenza della catena di approvvigionamento. Questo articolo indaga sull’implementazione degli standard GS1 per migliorare la tracciabilità dell’uva dal produttore al consumatore. Utilizzando un approccio basato su studi di caso, esaminiamo l’integrazione degli identificatori GS1, come i numeri globali di articolo commerciale (GTIN), i numeri globali di localizzazione (GLN) e i codici di contenitore di spedizione sequenziale (sscc), nei processi di produzione e distribuzione dell’uva. Gli standard GS1 sono stati integrati nei dati sui frutti e sulla catena di approvvigionamento per armonizzare le catene di approvvigionamento nazionali ed estere, e per preparare l’industria dell’uva da tavola alle future esigenze regolamentari globali sulla tracciabilità.

Do we have convergence or divergence in firms’ production and business practices in the global wine industry? 

Wine production is a globally significant and intricate industry, characterized by diverse regions, grape varieties, and producers. Competitive advantage in wine production and marketing arises from localized natural attributes known as terroir, combined with transferable expertise in agronomic practices, winemaking methods, packaging, distribution, and marketing. Wine is a very globalized product with 40% of the total output exported. Globalization has prompted discussions on convergence of business and production practices across industries, driven by technological progress and adoption of international standards. However, persisting differences in cultural norms, institutional frameworks, and regulatory environments hinder full convergence.

Synthesis of scientific research on the application of mechanized grapevine pruning in the Republic of Moldova

Actual challenges and the need to produce alternative products from red grapes rich in phenols and antioxidants

The global consumption of wine has undergone significant changes after several years of covid-19, which was the beginning of a global crisis of the current century. This pushed some people to start looking for comfort and security as they felt that the world around them was losing these benefits. In most cases, this has led to them to idea of rethinking their lives in an attempt to live better or continuing to stay true to their habits and lifestyles despite the pressure of changes. Alcohol in any form is a part of these reactions, leading to increased consumption in the early stages of a crisis, particularly in relation to anxiety.
