Abstract
Rice is a vital food commodity in Indonesia due to its role as a staple food for most Indonesian people. The rice supply chain in Indonesia varies from one region to another and it is difficult to trace movement along the chain from land to customers. This introduces non-transparency and uncertainty in the quantity and quality of rice at every node along the supply chain. The crucial issues of food safety and security, as well as consumer concern and curiosity in buying and consuming foods, increases the need for a traceability system for the rice value chain which can be easily and widely accessed. This paper describes the design framework of an IT (Information Technology)-based traceability system for the rice supply chain on web platforms. The system approach has been followed (where the system requirements are identified based on supply chain characteristics) and then the logical framework for implementing internal and external traceability was modeled using IDEF-0 (Integrated Definition Modeling). This paper further presents an explanation of the ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) as an initial step to modeling the data requirements and a model of information exchange between stakeholders that explains the data that must be recorded and forwarded to the next stakeholder. Finally, we propose the CBIS (Computer Based Information System) concept to develop a traceability system in the rice supply chain.
Highlights
Rice is widely planted and is the staple food of around 3.5 billion people worldwide, and Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest consumption rates in the world, reaching 38.41 million tons in2012 [1,2]
The field survey was conducted to: (1) identify stakeholders involved in the rice supply chain, (2) observe each stage of the production process, and (3) map the needed information that must be recorded at each stakeholder in the supply chain
Each stakeholder in rice supply chain must determine their traceability plan based on several parameters that infulence like regulatory requirement, business requirement, customer requirement, and accreditation requirement
Summary
Rice is widely planted and is the staple food of around 3.5 billion people worldwide, and Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest consumption rates in the world, reaching 38.41 million tons in2012 [1,2]. Rice is widely planted and is the staple food of around 3.5 billion people worldwide, and Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest consumption rates in the world, reaching 38.41 million tons in. In Indonesia, rice accounts for 45% of the total nutritional intake needed or about 80% of the primary carbohydrate source in the consumption patterns of the Indonesian people [3]. In reality, the rice production chain in Indonesia still faces several obstacles, and one of them is the quality manipulation carried out by specific stakeholders. Several previous studies conducted by Suismono and Ramli et al [4,5] found rice that was sprayed with aromatic compounds and bleached with uncontrolled concentrations where it could harm the health of consumers. Cases of counterfeiting of rice occur where traders or rice mills mix rice between varieties and qualities
